The Kingdom of Arnor was founded in 125 B.C. by a King known as Elendil I, who united the warring Dunedain tribes under one banner. Before that, Arnor had been a collection of warring tribes of Dunedain who had loved nothing but death and destruction, and King Elendil I gave them hope under his conquering rule. The next hundred and fifty years or so were rather uneventful, with Arnor being isolated in Mundus and keeping to herself. A major turning point in Arnorian history, however, was when Christian missionaries came to Arnor at the bidding of Pope Clement I in 89 A.D., and the King at that time, King Belgabad I, converted to Christianity and the whole nation followed, making Arnor one of the oldest Christian nations in Mundus.

Arnor was seen as a very secluded, yet influential Christian nation, sending missionaries to all parts of the world in an attempt to spread the Good News of Christ and to preach the gospel to every creature. A great controversy took place in Arnor in 1054 A.D., when the Great Schism took place between the Orthodox Churches and the Celestian Catholic Church, with Gondor siding with the Papacy after much debate and not wanting to be excommunicated by the Bishop of Celestia. Arnor remained very Catholic until the Reformation, when many Arnorian Nobles read John Calvin's The Necessity of Reforming the Church and Martin Luther's Concerning Christian Liberty. The High King of Arnor at the time, King Helegar IV, converted to Reformed Christianity and gave many Protestants a safehaven in Arnor, and was promptly excommunicated from the Catholic Church by Pope Paul III in 1537, sparking a religious controversy in the nation that remains to this day.
