Edoras
Edoras appears in The Lord of the Rings.
Edoras, the ancient capital of Rohan perched upon the green hill of Halifirien, emerges as a pivotal stronghold in the War of the Ring, embodying the proud heritage of the Rohirrim. In The Two Towers, it serves as the stage for Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's dramatic arrival and tense audience with King Théoden under Saruman's influence, marking a turning point in Rohan's alliance against Sauron. By The Return of the King, Edoras stands resilient amid the kingdom's trials, its Golden Hall of Meduseld hosting feasts and councils, while the solemn Barrowfield to the east honors the fallen kings with its flower-strewn mounds.

To the east lies the Barrowfield with eight mounds covered in green grass and white evermind flowers.
