Here's a breakdown of the people of Rohan and their (relatively) short stint in Middle-earth's long history.įive hundred years before the War of the Ring, the Northmen get a call from the Men of Gondor, who find themselves outnumbered by a two-pronged attack of Men and Orcs. Fortunately, there's a lot more to the Rohirrim than their steeds. It may be true, but it also isn't news for most people. But, of course, connecting the Rohirrim to horses is like saying superheroes like capes. There's the obvious stuff, such as the fact that they like horses.
And it turns out that there's actually quite a bit to unpack. With Warner Animation and New Line Cinema feverishly working on a Middle-earth anime titled "The War of the Rohirrim," we decided to take a deeper dive into the history of the horse-lords to help prepare for the upcoming festivities. Who is this mysterious group of plain dwellers who call themselves the Eorlingas? How did they come to live in the land that they personally refer to as the Riddermark - or "the Mark" for short?
But we don't really get much information about who they themselves are.
There's no doubt that the men and women of Rohan play an integral part in the primary narrative of the Trilogy. They kick things off by fending off Saruman's hordes of Uruk-hai throughout "The Two Towers." Next, they pack up shop and head down to Minas Tirith for the over-the-top epic Battle of the Pelennor Fields in "The Return of the King." From there, they head right on to the Black Gate, where they dodge death by a hair's breadth and witness the downfall of Sauron in person. The Rohirrim play a critical part in "The Lord of the Rings" saga. The scrappy-yet-majestic horse-lords live simple lives, are loyal to their friends and are recklessly fierce warriors that you always want to have in your corner. Tolkien's vast mythology as beloved as the Rohirrim.
