===Rohan===
The kingdom of the Horse Lords, Rohan is a wide open plain that was gifted to the Rohirrim by Gondor. To the west is the Gap of Rohan where Isengard is located, and where Dunland lies just beyond.
*'''Edoras''' - Capital city of Rohan. The Golden Hall ''Meduseld'' stands at the apex of the hill that Edoras is built on.
*'''Helm's Deep''' - Rohan's main fortress, built into the White Mountains by the legendary Rohirric King ''Helm Hammerhand''. The castle keep; the ''Hornburg''; was originally built by Gondor to keep watch over the southern half of the river Isen, to match its northern counterpart of Isengard. Its keep leads into a cave system into the mountains, and is defended by a long wall.
*'''Dunharrow''' - A refuge in the White Mountains where the Rohirrim mustered for the Battle of Pelennor Fields. The valley behind it leads directly to a haunted region known as the Paths of the Dead, where the traitorous Oathbreakers of the White Mountains linger in undeath.
**'''Paths of the Dead''': A narrow valley that was once populated by a tribe of people closely related to the Dunlanders who worked as mercenaries for Sauron and Gondor at various points in time. When the War of the Last Alliance began in earnest, these people were enlisted by Isildur, but, having no hope of winning against Sauron, broke the Oath they made to Isildur, who in turn cursed them to linger as ghosts as long as one of his heirs would demand their allegiance again. Several Rohihirrim Kings and princes travelled here to prove their bravery, but none ever returned. ''The Way is shut.''
*'''Fangorn Forest''' - The other remnant of the primeval forest. This one is populated by the Huorns, trees capable of movement, and the [[Treeman|Ent]]s, the tree-herders. Huorns are either Ents who stood still a bit too long, losing some sapience and becoming feral, or possibly sufficiently old trees that graduated to Huorn-hood.
*'''Isengard''' - A fortress on Rohan's western border that watches the river Isen (hence the name). In the center is the tall black tower of ''Orthanc'', which had been built by the Númenóreans during the Second Age and was made of a type of black stone that was virtually indestructible. Saruman was using it as a base of operations as he plotted his betrayal.
*'''Dunland''' - Just west-northwest of Rohan proper, Dunland was populated by primitive tribesmen, known as Dunlendings or Wildmen, who were often at war with Rohan. They coveted the lands of Rohan, as they were the original native inhabitants of it before the Rohirrim came. They allied with Saruman in his war against Rohan, but they were granted clemency after Saruman's defeat.
