Edoras

Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Capital of Rohan — the Golden Hall of Meduseld crowning a windswept hill, where a poisoned king sits while his kingdom crumbles around him.

Also known as: Edoras, the Golden Hall, Meduseld

What They Know

• Meduseld's golden roof can be seen glinting from miles across the plains — it serves as a landmark and symbol
• Théoden is not simply old — he is under Saruman's direct influence through Gríma Wormtongue
• Éowyn is trapped here as the king's caretaker, burning with unfulfilled warrior ambition
• The burial mounds outside Edoras contain the kings of Rohan — simbelmynë flowers grow on them year-round
• Weapons must be surrendered before entering Meduseld — this is ancient custom, not Wormtongue's rule
