Rohan

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

The kingdom of the horse-lords — vast grasslands where mounted warriors ride to war with songs on their lips and a fierce loyalty to their ancient alliance with Gondor.

Also known as: Rohan, The Mark, Riddermark, the Horse-country

• Éomer has been banished for disobeying Wormtongue's orders and rides with a loyal éored in the Eastfold
