Arveleg was the son of King Arvegil of Arthedain.

He came to the throne in 1743 at the death of his father, and was named for his great-great-grandfather Arveleg I.

During his rule the war with Angmar began again, as the peoples of the enemy recovered faster than the Dúnedain, reinforced by Easterlings and Orcs from both sides of the Misty Mountains.

Arveleg died in 1813 T.A. and was succeeded by his son Araval.
