This is wonderful. I love reading about Aragorn's "travels" as a youth, and especially now that he is King.

I hope that Tahir can find out something about Fadil. It would be wonderful if they were related.

I have to admit though that I would have loved to see Elrond's expression when Aragorn arrived back at Rivendell with a herd of camels. I'm sure his expression would have been priceless. :)
