Edoras, the wind-swept capital of Rohan, first appears in The Two Towers as a fortified hill-city of timber halls and golden thatch, its dike-and-thorn defenses guarding the approach to the Golden Hall of Meduseld. By The Return of the King the city has become the symbolic heart of a kingdom reborn: after the defeat of Saruman and the restoration of Théoden, Edoras hosts the funeral of the king and the coronation of Éomer, marking its transition from a threatened outpost to the seat of a renewed alliance with Gondor.
