068: The Ghosts of Rohan

17 min • 22 november 2022

The origins of the Kingdom of Rohan, long-time ally of Gondor, keepers of the white horses called the mearas, and befuddled enemies of Saruman. Today we explore their history, which surprisingly has less to do with horses, and plenty to do, with ghosts.

We continue our exploration of the Lord of the Rings Appendix A.
