The Rohirrim, the Riders of Rohan, are a golden-haired people, one of the peoples of Rhovanion, where they migrated from in 2510 TA.

Eorl the Young was King of the Éothraim, the Horse Masters of Rhovanion. He claimed descent from the Kings of Rhovanion of old, and therefore a distant link to the Kings of Gondor. They lived on the plains near the source of the River Anduin, until they came to the aid of Gondor during the invasion of 2510. That war had left the province of Caleardhon empty of Gondor's people, and Cirion, steward of Gondor, granted that land to Eorl. So it became Rohan, the land of horses, and Eorl became first king of the Rohirrim.

The Rohirrim are accounted the best riders and most knowledgable breeders of horses in north-west Middle-Earth. As the most potent cavalry in the western world, they have been loyal and potent allies of Gondor since the time of Eorl and Cirion.

The Rohirrim are uniformly fair of complexion, pale haired (red at the darkest), and pale eyed. Like all Northmen, the Rohirrim are a tall people. Many walk with a bow-legged gait, from a life in the saddle.

Attributes:				Rohirric Rohirric is a language out of the traditional homelands of the Northmen, in Rhovanion. It is related to the Taliska of the Beijabar and to Kuduk, the ancient tongue of the Hobbits. Indeed, the Rohirric word for halfling, kûd-dûkan (lit. "hole dweller") betrays this connection.
