The Riders of Rohan represent the descendants of the Éothéod, nomadic plains-riders who formerly resided in the vast plains of Rhovanion and near the eaves of Mirkwood. Led by Théoden, the tribes of the Riders of Rohan control the considerable territory of Calenardhon. While they have chosen to establish few permanent settlements, they are capable of placing roots when need dictates. On horseback, the Rohirrim have few equals anywhere in Middle-earth. Their mastery of the wild horses of the region allow them to field highly-mobile cavalry units. Although their dispersed forces and sparse settlements inhibit their power, this is compensated for by the competency of their leaders.
