Forth Eorlingas! The Horse-Lords of Rohan Explained
From the plains of Calenardhon to the Hornburg's blast, uncover the history, culture, and heroes of the Riddermark, Tolkien's legendary kingdom of horsemen.
Across the wide plains of Calenardhon the Rohirrim ride—swift horse-lords of the Riddermark who shelter beneath Meduseld at Edoras and sound the horn of the Hornburg at Helm's Deep. From Éorl and the line of kings to Théoden, Éomer, and Éowyn, Rohan is woven of horses, hard riding, mead-hall song, and fierce loyalty. When Saruman and Mordor threaten the West, the cavalry charge of the Riddermark helps turn the War of the Ring. This concise guide gathers Rohan's history, language roots, culture, warcraft, famed steeds, key battles, and heroic figures for readers eager to know why the Rohirrim remain one of Middle-earth's most moving peoples.
