Notable Characters Hereward, Lord of Harrowdale In these days the chieftain of the folk of Harrowdale rarely wears a helm on his balding head, or a mail hauberk upon his stooping shoulders, nor does he grasp a sword hilt with his thin fingers.

A violent life and old age have withered his body. But his bright blue eyes still blaze with a fierce glow when he is roused, and even in his weakness his spirit still intimidates the strong young Riders around him. Hereward, an ambitious man from a wealthy household of the Folde, was long a favourite of Fengel King. Were trouble to threaten Edoras, Hereward imagines he But it was never to be.

Men of the Lord of the mountain where the Dark Door gapes, its stone arch Harrowdale stand guard at the ford, to question all those carved with runes and symbols worn by years uncounted. The easterly path leads straight up to the valley wall, where a looping road was carved centuries ago by long- forgotten people: the Stair of the Hold.

The Stair winds upwards, back and forth, cut directly out of the rock of the Starkhorn in jagged switchbacks that barely allow horses and wagons to ascend. At each turn a huge statue squats cross-legged, with each so worn that often no features can be discerned but deep eyeholes and hands resting on a broad belly. Atop the Stair of the Hold lies the Firienfeld, a green field of grass and heath a mile wide, stretched between the three great mountain-peaks looming above it. A road leading east from the Stair divides the Firienfeld neatly in two, and runs between two lines of cracked and uneven standing stones, plunging into the darkness of a wood of fir-trees.

In days gone, this green field was the home of a people remembered only in dim legends. Here upon the wide upland they dwelt, perhaps seeking a safe place from their enemies, or maybe to stay close to a secret burial place for their honoured dead, no one can say. Today, the folk of Edoras and the surrounding regions find The second King of Rohan, Brego, and his son Baldor refuge in the Hold of Dunharrow in times of strife, for the discovered the Dark Door when they first came to steep Stair allows for a handful of determined warriors to Harrowdale long ago, when their realm was new.

The Paths of the Dead are a complex of underground Characters that pass into the darkness must be iron of passages and darkened halls dug centuries ago by those will and definite of purpose, for to be otherwise is to Men who once dwelt upon the White Mountains, and invariably be lost to madness and death.
