Eastemnet

The eastern lands of Rohan

Map of the Eastemnet of Rohan

The wide land between the Rivers Entwash and Anduin, the easternmost of those held by the Rohirrim. Its name Eastemnet comes from the language of Rohan: the word Eastemnet in that tongue means 'east-plain'. There were few fixed settlements here, but many of the herdsmen of the Rohirrim lived a nomadic existence on the fields of the Eastemnet, living out of temporary camps and driving their herds across the grasslands.
