- Minor
- First seen · Book 3 · Ch. 10
A name that suggests a wide-open threshold between distant lands, where the wind has room to run and the horizon seems unguarded. The text offers no further image, leaving the place’s scale to the imagination.

The Gap of Rohan is mentioned as a geographical passage, but it has no personal story or character arc in the text. Its name evokes the open country between the surrounding realms, a landscape defined more by its breadth than by any described landmark.
Description
The Gap of Rohan is a broad natural corridor of open country, its precise appearance left undescribed in the text. The name calls to mind far-reaching grassland beneath a spacious sky, bounded in the distance by rising land. No specific buildings, colors, or landmarks are established.
