Wold of Rohan

Windy upland region of Rohan, bleak expanses.

The Wold of Rohan, a vast windy upland region in the northern expanses of Rohan, emerges in The Two Towers as a bleak, open landscape traversed by key figures amid the growing shadow of war. This sparsely detailed wilderness serves primarily as a passage for Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli during their pursuit of the orcs, highlighting Rohan's rugged terrain and vulnerability to enemy incursions. Though not revisited in later volumes, it underscores the strategic breadth of Rohan's domain in the War of the Ring.
