	Calenardhon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Calenardhon was a wide green landscape in the north of Gondor, but it became depopulated during the Third Age.
		In gratitude, Cirion granted all Calenardhon, except for Anórien, to the Éothéod.
		After the Éothéod settled in Calenardhon, the land became known as Rohan or the Riddermark.

	Field of Celebrant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2510 the Balchoth crossed Anduin on numerous lands, passing into the Wold in the north of the Gondorian province of Calenardhon.
		They met little resistance as Calenardhon had been mostly abandoned long before, and by the time the North Army of Gondor appeared from the fortresses of Isengard, Aglarond and other fortresses in the White Mountains the bulk of the Balchoth army had crossed.
		After the Battle the Steward of Gondor Cirion gave the Éothéod the entire land of Calenardhon to dwell in as thanks.

		Its location was at the north-western corner of the Southern Kingdom of Gondor, guarding the Fords of Isen from enemy incursions into Calenardhon together with the fortress of Aglarond to its south.
		During the early Third Age the land of Calenardhon became depopulated, and the last warden of Orthanc was recalled to Minas Tirith.
		After Calenardhon was given by Cirion, Steward of Gondor to the Éothéod and became Rohan, Isengard remained part of Gondor, although Gondor almost forgot about it.

		At this secret place, he revealed his plan to give Calenardhon as a free gift to the Éothéod, so that there should be a perpetual friendship between the Éothéod and the people of Gondor.

		In gratitude for their valor, Cirion the Steward granted the fields of Calenardhon to the horse-lords, and thus was born the Riddermark.

		The Rohirrim were descended from the Éothéod, a race of Men that lived in the vales of the Great River Anduin, but that removed to Calenardhon which was granted them in perpetuity by the Ruling Steward of Gondor, Cirion in reward for the assistance that they offered Gondor at a time of great need.
		At that time Calenardhon was renamed Rohan (''Horse-land'') after their many horses.

	Dunland explained (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		When Gondor decided to give the depopulated province of Calenardhon, east of Enedwaith, to the numerous people of Éothéod in 2510 T.A., the Hill-folk felt threathened by these Forgoil, or Strawheads (referring to the blonde hair).
		The Hill-folk had slowly colonized Calenardhon themselves during the dwindling of the Dúnedain, and had already reclaimed all the land between the rivers Adorn and Isen.
		Still, open war was not waged until the reign of Helm Hammerhand (2741 T.A. Freca, the lord of the hill-men (whom the Rohirrim now called Dunlendings) tried to get the throne of Rohan for himself by petitioning for the marriage of his son Wulf to the daughter of Helm.

	Celebrant Field
		The army of Gondor marched to the defence of Calenardhon.
		Cirion’s army outpaced the pursuing Balchoth and got across the Limlight; hoping, perhaps, to reach into the north vales and find the Éothéod; but as they continued their march, a horde of cors from the Misty mountains came down upon the warriors of Gondor from the west.
		The Calenardhon levies average as medium spearmen in leather with large shields; they have swords, and two javelins apiece for "pre-contact" missile fire; there are light archers on foot too; and some levied troops are medium cavalry with either bows or darts; but the spearmen are the predominant arm.

		At the same time by chance or design the Orcs (who at that time before their war with the Dwarves were in great strength) made a descent from the Mountains.
		The invaders overran Calenardhon, and Cirion, Steward of Gondor, sent north for help; for there had been long friendship between the Men of Anduin’s Vale and the people of Gondor.
		Cirion, therefore, in reward for his aid, gave Calenardhon between Anduin and Isen to Eorl and his people; and they sent north for their wives and children and their goods and settled in that land.

		They named themselves Eorlingas, and named the land in their own tongue Riddermark, the Mark of the Riders; Rohan was Sindarin and meant 'horse-country'.
		Before the Rohirrim came there in 2510 T.A., it was a part of Gondor called Calenardhon, 'green province'.
		But after plagues and wars, the land had only a low population, and Gondor, under the steward Cirion, had granted the people of the Éotheod from the north, led by Eorl the Young, who had just aided them at the fields of Celebrant, to dwell there.

	Ithilien, Moon Over Gondor
		Cair Andros would be the easiest place for the Elves to cross the river and visit such of their relatives as remained in Anorien, Calenardhon, and other areas close by.
		In fact, given the geography of the land to the north of Ithilien, it may be that any early Elves would have arrived there by passing through Calenardhon and Anorien and crossing the river at Cair Andros.
		Aglarond and Orthanc appear to have been used to keep Gwathuirim in Enedwaith from harrassing the Calenardhon colonists, but they also ensured that Gondor controlled the gap between the Ered Hithui and the Ered Nimrais.

		Over the centuries previous to this, the Dunlendings had begun to settle across the Isen, and in time it was they who held the defensive places of the province of Calenardhon.
		When Gondor was invaded by enemies from both East and South, the local fort holders had no interest in defending Gondor from these hordes, and so the invasion was successful until the Forgoil came riding to Gondor's aid.
		As a result of this Gondor allowed the Forgoil thieves to settle in Calenardhon and take it for their own.

		It was now that Marwhini led his Northmen against the Wainriders, joining forces with Calimehtar." Grima says, "After these battles, the Northmen followed the Wainriders beyond Calenardhon, pushing them all the way north and east to Rhun.
		They fell back north....coming by 2500 to live to the north east of Mirkwood." Grima says, "However, now the forces from the east, called the Balchoth, concentrated their efforts south, again focusing upon Calenardhon."" Grima says, "Cirion first realized the entirety of the threat in 2509, by which time the Calenardhon had been largely abandoned.
		Eorl the Young came with his riders and swept away the enemy, and pursued the Balchoth to the death over the fields of Calenardhon' (III 415).

	Cirion
		Cirion and Gondor had not many men to spare for the defence of this Northern frontier and in despair Cirion sent messengers to their old friends the Éothéod and their King Eorl in the high North asking for their aid in the great peril Gondor was in.
		In due time Cirion, his son, the Lord of Dol Amroth and two others of his council set out and he met Eorl with three of his captains and they went up at the cleared path to Amun Anwar where Cirion declared what he had in mind.
		There Calenardhon was given as a free gift to the Éothéod and to Eorl who should be their first King if he wished so and between the two peoples should be a perpetual friendship.
