The Wold is an area in the north-east of East Rohan.

Rohan’s northernmost border march, the Wold is all but cut off from the capital at Edoras but its men are no less loyal for it. Beset on all sides by enemies, Orcs massing to the west and Easterllings crossing the Anduin to the east, the Rohirrim of the North-march refuse to abandon their watch even when ordered. Should they leave, who then will hold back the tide of their foes?

Geography

An expanse of rolling hills covered in tall grasses that wither in the dry earth, the Wold marks the northernmost border march of Rohan.

Lore

The men of the North-march are amongst the most rugged, yet unwaveringly faithful Riders. Their leader, Aldor Harding, would give his life to save Rohan from its enemies and believes it is fated for him to do so.

Eorl's Hallow (Memorial of Eorl) documents the events surrounding Eorl the Young's father Léod, and Felaróf, first of Mearas.

Langhold

Rohan Awaits (Letter from Gandalf) The Langhold Quest Arc (series of quests): It is necessary to complete all the non-optional quests to get one's first War-steed. This quest arc is the same if you begin your exploration of Rohan as a result of a mail message from "G." -- Rohan Awaits, or a mail message from Galadriel: "A Need in Rohan." (Which begins Volume III, Book 7 of the Epic Quest line.) In this quest arc, you will encounter new game technology -- three "Landscape Quests." That is, quests you acquire by virtue of your being in a certain location. A "Quest Action" button pop-up appears on your screen to announce the availability of landscape quests.
