In brief
Edoras is the capital of Rohan, a walled city built on a green hill in the Westfold beneath the White Mountains. Its great hall, Meduseld, was raised by King Brego and serves as the seat of the Kings of the Mark. Gandalf leads Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli there to free Théoden from Wormtongue's counsel.
