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.

Commentary

  • Level 75-77, mounted and non-mounted combat oriented

Significant amounts of new Game-technology is introduced in this area.

  • Open Tapping
  • Automatic Quest Bestowal (Landscape Quests)
  • Warbands
  • Significant Phasing in Langhold.

Players who follow the message from Gandalf (part of the Eastemnet quest pack and Rohan expansion purchase) will start their exploration of Rohan here.

Quest hubs include Langhold, Harwick, Feldburg, and Floodwend.

Attempting to swim over the waterfall upstream of Floodwend (approximate location [43.5S, 44.7W]) will earn you a Death By Misadventure. It is apparently a nasty waterfall.
