Horn of the Mark

The Horn of the Mark, informally known as the Horn of Rohan, was a silver horn made by the Dwarves, and later given as a gift from Éowyn to Meriadoc Brandybuck.
== Description ==
It was an ancient, Dwarf-made horn of silver with a green baldric, engraved with horsemen riding in a line from the tip to the mouth. Runes of great virtue were set into it, said to cause enemies fear and friends joy, bringing the blower's friends to him.
== History ==
The horn became an heirloom of the royal house of Rohan, brought from the north by Eorl the Young. It was originally from the hoard of the dragon Scatha the Worm, who was killed by Fram. Despite disputes over Scatha's hoard with the Dwarves, the Éothéod took at least part of the hoard, including the horn.
Many years later, Éowyn presented the horn to Meriadoc Brandybuck when he was leaving Rohan, for his deeds at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
