INTRODUCTION
-
South of the Misty Mountains lie vast fields of rolling
grasslands, where the horns of the distant north still
resound in battle over the thunder of hooves. There
dwell the Rohirrim, the Horse-lords of Rohan. In their
own tongue, they are the Eorlingas and their land, the
Riddermark. For years beyond counting, as Men reckon
time, the Rohirrim have dwelt upon the plains of Rohan,
but their ancestral enemies, the Dunlendings, claim the
land is theirs, stolen long ago.
certainly add or remove such people and places as they
wish – or even move them about to other regions more
suitable to their own game – meaning players that read up
on a given region shouldn’t believe everything listed about
it is so! Several new Fellowship phase undertakings are
also included in this chapter, along with Hazard episode
suggestions and other assorted challenges that might be
faced by heroes.
The third part,
The Forest of Fangorn,
describes the
legendary forest spoken of in whispers throughout Middle-
earth. Few indeed know any of its secrets and fewer still
know that it is the last dwelling place of the Shepherds of
the Trees, the Ents. Herein is described the history of the
forest, its ancient guardians and their strange ways, along
with some of the more unusual members of an already
extraordinary people.
The fourth section,
A Folk with No Kings,
describes the
Folk of the Fells, known to the Rohirrim as the Dunlendings,
along with their history and lands. While they actually
belong to many different tribes, all of the Dunlendings are
united, at least, in their sworn enmity against the Riders
of Rohan. Scholars know that their grievances are not
without legitimacy and, despite what others may claim,
they are not Evil Men.
Isengard,
the storied domain of Saruman the White,
foremost of the Wizards, is detailed in the fifth section.
The fabled Tower of Orthanc, built by the Men of the West
long ago, is examined in detail, as well as how its keys

far south of Wilderland, describing not only the land
of Rohan and the dauntless folk who inhabit it, but also
the lands and peoples surrounding the Riddermark. The
first and second sections of this supplement,
A History of
Rohan
and
The Regions of Rohan,
lay bare the history
of the Rohirrim and the geography of their lands, from the
contested West-march and the Gap of Rohan in the west
to the Great River in the east; from the Wold in the north
to the White Mountains in the south.
Each region contains descriptions of major features and
the wildlife that will typically be seen in the area, along
with brief accounts of whatever inhabitants, if any, dwell
there. Notable People and Notable Places are just that:
significant individuals, settlements and landmarks that
can be found within that region. Loremasters, though, may
