—Haethen ordering his archers to open fire on the Uruk-hai during the Battle of Helm's Deep
**Haethen** was a brave veteran warrior of the Westfold who lived in Rohan during the Third Age. He served in the rank of captain of archers during the War of the Ring.

## Biography

During the War of the Ring, Haethen had fought against the enemies of Isengard that were trying to weaken Rohan's defenses. While some of the villagers from the Westfold had survived and the rest perished, Haethen was among an infantry of Rohirrim soldiers that fought against the Dunlendings of Dunland to prevent such atrocity from happening, but that was when he lost an eye. Despite losing an eye, Haethen continued to serve in his majesty's army while he traveled to the old fortress of Helm's Deep. When word was reached from Aragorn that Saruman unleashed an army of 10,000 Uruk-hai to annihilate the people of Rohan, Haethen volunteered to serve in the defense against the enemy. With the support of a battalion of Elves of Lothlórien, Haethen took command of a number of archers and ordered them to open fire upon the enemy that was charging towards the Hornburg and the Deeping Wall.

Despite the heavy casualties, Haethen was among the defenders that survived the battle of Helm's Deep and returned to Edoras to celebrate and honor those that gave their lives for defending Rohan and its people from suffering at the hands of Saruman. When Sauron was preparing to launch his desperate attack on Minas Tirith, Haethen was among those that traveled to Dunharrow and fought in the Battle of Pelennor Fields until the Rohirrim was reinforced by the Army of the Dead. With King Théoden's death, Haethen pledged his loyalty to Éomer Éadig since he was now the king's rightful heir to Rohan's throne. Gathering hundreds of survivors that were gravily wounded from the battle, Haethen traveled to the House of Healing where he provided his assistance in healing some of his men that he care about. Later on, Haethen accompanied a company of Gondorian and Rohirrim soldiers towards the Black Gate of Mordor and give Frodo Baggins a chance to destroy the One Ring. With the One Ring destroyed, resulting Sauron's death, Haethen attended the coronation where Aragorn became the King of Gondor and Arnor, and a new age had begun for the world of Arda.

**Dúrin III** was a King of Dúrin's Folk who ruled the great Dwarven city of Erebor during the mid Second Age. Named after Dúrin I, Dúrin III greatly resembled him, and as a "King of Erebor", he had struck a rare friendship with the Elves of Ost-in-Edhil in Eregion. That was when he and six other Dwarf lords received the seven Rings of Power that were secretly created by Sauron. Despite been deceived in all, Dúrin had kept one of the rings, but that was when he and his kin were drawn in a conflict against the enemies of Mordor. In response, Dúrin led a great force of Dwarves to protect the Doors of Dúrin, but was slain defending it.

## Biography

Like all Dúrins after Dúrin I, Dúrin III was given the name of the first Father of the Dwarves because he greatly resembled him in both appearance and manner. Indeed it was believed among the Dwarves that he was the reincarnation of Dúrin I, but it was proven to be false. Dúrin III was a descendant of Dúrin I.

During his reign in the 16th century of the Second Age, the Dwarves of Erebor had struck a rare friendship with the Elves of Ost-in-Edhil in Eregion. Around SA 1500, the Elves, guided by Annatar, began forging the Rings of Power. According to the Dwarves, Celebrimbor gave Dúrin the third of the Seven Rings of the Dwarves (other traditions state that it was Sauron who bestowed all seven of these Rings). This ring would later come to Thráin II's possession until it was taken by Sauron.

Their instructor in crafting the Rings, the wise Annatar, was actually Sauron who had come to corrupt the Elves through the Rings of Power. By SA 1697, seeing that he could not control either the Elves nor the Dwarves through the Rings, he led a large army towards Eregion. In response, Dúrin led a great force of Dwarves to protect the Doors of Dúrin, but was badly injured during the fall of Eregion, and his warriors withdrew and the gates to the city were shut, sealing the kingdom off from the outside world. Dúrin III died of his wounds, but the rest of his descendants lived on and ruled Erebor under his name and remembrance.

Brandybuck Family

The **Brandybuck Family** began as the Oldbuck clan, who named themselves such apparently after a *Bucca of the Marish*, who became the first Thain of the Shire. Ten Oldbuck Thains followed, until *Gordenhad Oldbuck*, the twelveth Thain, migrated into Buckland over the river Brandywine. Gordenhad renamed himself Brandybuck, and began delving the great smials of Brandy Hall. Around the hill was built the village of *Bucklebury*.

Stoorish characteristics and appearance remained among the Brandybucks, who formed a powerful dynasty which became mostly independent of the Shire, although Buckland remained nominally a part of it. They were seen as 'odd folk' by the other Hobbits of the Shire because they locked their doors at night (because of the exposure to the Old Forest).

The head of the family was the *Master of Buckland*, one of the officials of the Shire. This office was founded by Gorhendad Brandybuck. It was traditional for each of the Masters to have an epigraph attached to their names, such as Gorbadoc "Broadbelt", Saradoc "Scattergold", and the most famous, Meriadoc Brandybuck the Magnificent. Like the Thain and Warden of Westmarch, the Master had only nominal authority.

## Biography

One of the Uruk-hai that lived in the dark region of Mordor during the Third Age, Gartor was very anxious in wanting to lay waste on Gondor. As the War of the Ring began when Sauron was awar of the One Ring's presence, Gartor was involved in leading a large number of troops in taking the ruined city of Osgiliath. Despite Mordor's success in taking the city, Gartor had recently killed a Gondorian soldier and really fancied the shiny armor. He took the armor and dressed himself with it. He had to retreat when Gondor's armies were overwhelming the enemy and managed to reclaim the city.

Throughout the War of the Ring, Gartor had been stationed in the city of Minas Morgûl where he awaited further instructions from Commander Gothmog. After the Mordor's garrison managed to reclaim Osgiliath once again and set it as their actual base, Gartor was in command of several Mordor battalions and led them towards the city and lay siege. During the siege, Gartor led his troops on one of the towers and engaged the defenders that were trying to hold them off. Gartor avoided the arrows, and slew a few soldiers until he was slain by Forlong.

**Balin** was a Dwarven leader, the son of Fundin and elder brother of Dwalin. He was one of the Dwarves that travelled with Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf to reclaim Erebor from the dragon Smaug. When Bilbo first met Balin, the Dwarf was very old looking with a white beard and a red hood.

## Biography

### Early life

Born in TA 2763 of the Third Age, Balin was the son of Fundin and elder brother of Dwálin. Spending most of his life in Erebor, one of the greatest and largest cities in Middle-Earth, Balin and his brother became good friend to Thórin II, a dwarf prince who was the son of Thráin II and grandson of Thrór. Balin was very kind, intelligent, and would remember the stories of what had happened in the past. Ever since the Dwarves had managed to find the heart of the mountain and naming the King's Jewel as a sign for every generation of Dúrin to take the throne as King, he began to grow worried of a sickness that was beginning to grow in Thrór due to his love for gold. Balin knew that bad things would come.

Later in TA 2880, Balin was already 117 years old when he and Thórin were the first to witness Smaug's arrival. This led to an ultimate firestorm in which the dragon burnt Dale and invaded Erebor. After the Dwarves were driven out at great loss, Balin, along with brother and father, lived with their king Thrór in Dunland. While settling in Dunland for ten years, Balin, Dwálin, and Fundin were involved in fighting Orcs in Mount Gundabad, leading to the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. During the long war, Balin was one of the dwarves that followed Thrór to reclaim the ancient dwarf kingdom of Erebor, but they were all deceived when they discovered that it was already taken by the Orcs that were led by Azog the Defiler, a deadly giant orc that was destined to wipe out the line of Dúrin. Balin and Dwálin fought together in the Battle of Erebor, but their father was slain alongside Thrór, who was beheaded by the Defiler. Following Azog's defeat and the enemy defeated, Balin first returned to their forges in Dunland, but they moved into Eriador shortly after, and colonized in Ered Luin.

### Quest of Erebor

During the War of the Ring, when the One Ring had awoken from its long sleep and was ready to return to its rightul master, Berembor was among the elves that refused to leave Middle-earth and chose to aid anyone who would fight against the armies of Mordor and Isengard. She accompanied Haldor of Lorien to Helm's Deep, a large valley in the north-western Ered Nimrais. There, she and her kin would aid King Theoden and his people in defending the keep from an army of 10,000 Uruk-hai that were dispatched by Saruman to wipe out the people of Rohan.

## Biography

Born during the late-Third Age in the dark realm of Mordor, Gashbuz served as quartermaster and had risen to his position and rank because of his intelligence and technical skill.

Edoras

"*You'd find more cheer in a graveyard...*"
—Gimli
**Edoras** was the capital city of Rohan.

## History

Rohan's first capital was at Aldburg in the Folde, until King Eorl the Young or his son Brego built Edoras. Wulf son of Freca the Dunlending, invaded Rohan in TA 2758 and took Edoras usurping the throne in Meduseld. But the Long Winter, which had lasted five long months, ended and Fréaláf son of Hild came out of Dunharrow and with a small band of men, surprising Wulf, he attacked Edoras and slew Wulf, regaining the city. It was here that Aragorn, Gimli Lockbearer, Legolas Greenleaf, and Gandalf the White met with Théoden Ednew and freed him from Saruman's possession during the War of the Ring.

## Description

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. 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. As Rohan consisted of mostly small villages and farmsteads, Edoras was the closest thing Rohan had to a city, and held the Golden Hall of Meduseld.

## Etymology

The name *Edoras* is said to mean "the courts" in the Mark-speech of Rohan. In Old English, *edoras* (plural of *edor, eodor*) means "dwellings, houses".

## Behind the Scenes

* In Peter Jackson's *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers*, a fully realized set for Edoras was built on Mount Sunday in the upper reaches of the Rangitata Valley, near Erewhon.
* Edoras may have inspired the city of Whiterun in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as its layout is very similar to that of Edoras.

Hearing the name "Baggins" from Peregrin Took, Euog believed that Frodo was the one and sent a report to his master of what he discovered until Sauron's servants. the Wraiths, arrived. Euog was frightened of their arrivial and remained hidden in fear.

Later, throughout the war, Euog and Doeth remained in Bree and continued to send in reports. However, that was when they were involved in the Battle of Bree. As the battle drew to an end, Euog and Doeth managed to escape the battle, and fled into the forest along with the surviving Ruffians that abandoned their service from Saruman.

"*Children's stories that's all that is. You're beginning to sound like that old Bilbo Baggins! Cracked he was!*"
—Ted Sandyman talking about Bilbo Baggins
**Ted Sandyman** was a Hobbit who lived in Hobbiton, one of the early settlements of the Shire. A member of the Sandyman clan, Ted was the son of Carl Sandyman. Married to Daisy Sandyman, Ted was the father of Mug Sandyman. During the time when the War of the Ring had began, Ted was associated with Lotho Sackville-Baggins during the latter's control of the land.

## Biography

"*Well it's none of our concern what goes on beyond our borders. Keep your nose out of trouble and no trouble will come to you.*"
—Ted to Frodo
A member of the Sandyman clan, Ted began to work as a miller after his father Carl passed away during the late-Third Age. During his job, he married a beautiful hobbit woman named Daisy Sandyman and had a son named Mug. Samwise Gamgee and his clan never liked him. He and his family were also wedding guests at Drogo and Primula's wedding, but after hearing the news of their tragic deaths, Ted believed that Primula pushed him into the water and Drogo pulled her in after him.

He is present in the Ivy Bush before Bilbo Baggins' 111th Birthday happened and sneers at Sam's return. He had recently talked to Hamfast Gamgee, Posco Noakes, and Daddy Twofoot about how Primula and Drogo died, much to Old Gaffer who did not appreciate those words that he said about Frodo Baggins' parents. Ted argued on one of Gaffer's points and told Gaffer that Bag End is always a queer place for outsiders that would often come. He later attended the event, and was seen enjoying the party where he drank, laughed, and talked to a number of attendees. Just as everyone was seated and hoping to have some of the cake, Ted watched as Bilbo was asked to make a speech for everyone, but it ended short when the elderly hobbit used the One Ring to vanish in front of everyone's eyes.

After Bilbo had left, Ted would sometimes talk about Bilbo and would insult on how cracked he was. Later on the evening, Ted was at the Green Dragon Inn with Samwise Gamgee, Gaffer, and Posco Noakes. When Posco and Gaffer had talked about strange things that had been happening outside the borders of the Shire, Ted scoffed at those tales, and called them children's stories, in which he foolishly believed. He made a comment about Bilbo Baggins after he had left the Shire and ventured to Rivendell, the house of Lord Elrond Peredhel. Just as Frodo Baggins sat down to join them, Ted believd it was no one's concern on what goes on beyond the borders of the Shire and gave Frodo a head's up and that no trouble will come to him.
