Edoras

Edoras was the capital city of Rohan. Built principally of wood, Edoras was also where Rohan's kings were buried, in two lines of Barrows just outside the main gate.
== History ==
The city of Edoras was built on a hill in a valley of the White Mountains by Rohan's second King, Brego son of Eorl the Young. Before this, Rohan's capital was at Aldburg in the Folde.
It was here that Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Gandalf met with King Théoden in the year TA 3019. Whilst the Battle of the Hornburg was being fought the muster of Rohan began at Edoras, although this was moved to Dunharrow on the instructions of Gandalf after a Nazgûl overflew the city.
Several months later it was where Elrond and Arwen parted for the last time after a great feast honoring the memory of Théoden.
== Geography ==
Edoras was built at the end of the valley of Harrowdale, which lay under the great mountain Starkhorn. The river Snowbourn flowed past the city on its way west towards the Entwash and was joined by a small stream with its source near the top of the hill. As Rohan consisted of mostly small villages and farmsteads, Edoras was the largest settlement and held the Golden Hall of Meduseld, the seat and residence of Rohan's kings.
