The East-mark regions
The Wold
The NE of the Riddermark, bounded by the Limlit and the Anduin. No important towns, save
for such burgs as Mestbrim Weard in the NE of the Wold, and others. A windswept, dry land,
supporting vast herds but few settlements. Horses bred here are mostly of the lighter, faster type.
East Emnet
Burgs and homesteads are more common here; the area is roughly central eastern
Rohan, mostly plains and meads. Horses bred here are mostly of the regular type.
Eastfold
Southeastern Rohan, it has the most villages of import, such as Stowburg seat of
Eowain and Mering; a place of hills which extend into the White Mountains. Hills, dells and farms.
Horses bred here run all the way from light to heavy.
The Folde
West of Eastfold, it is part of the King's Lands; Aldburg is there, home of those
descended from Eofor son of Brego Eorlsson. Meads, willow-grove and long grasses. Horses bred here
are mostly of the regular to heavy type.
The West-mark regions
The Gap
NW Rohan, it is a fairly empty place, though there are homesteads and herders there; a
broad, flat plains between the Andrast and the White Mountains. Horses bred here are mostly of the
light type.
West Emnet
Again, broad plains, also some marshy land and it is rather central western Rohan.
Horses bred here are mostly of the heavy type.
The Westfold
Many farms and settlements, hills and mountains. Southeastern Rohan. Horses bred
here are mostly of the regular to heavy type, and ponies are common in the mountain areas.
The West Marches
No real settlements, but homesteads; little power from the King, and the folk
there are half-breeds. Horses bred here often differ a lot from those found in the rest of Rohan,
many are much smaller and very hardy and the most common type of 'normal' Rohirric horse is the
light one.
