North-bordersThe northern reaches of Rohan![]() The North-borders of the land of Rohan1
The North-borders of the land of Rohan1
"You will not find your friends on the North-borders."
A term used in Rohan for the northern reaches of that realm, or at least for part of those northern reaches. When used by Éomer, it applied to the lands on the fringes of the Entwood, which marked the western parts of Rohan's northern boundaries. To the east of the forest ran the wild region known as the Wold, itself bordered to the north by the river Limlight. Given this geography, we might expect that the Wold also belonged to Rohan's North-borders. In our sole recorded use of the term, however, Éomer is speaking to the Three Hunters in a region of the Eastemnet rather to the southward of the Wold, and so the precise sense of the name remains slightly ambiguous.
