Lord of the Rings

Rohan Warrior, frequently appearing in depictions of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, is not a specific, named character within the main narrative. He represents a broader concept: the quintessential soldier of Rohan, the Riders of the Mark. Think of it as an archetype.

These warriors are defined by their skill in horsemanship, loyalty to their King and the land of Rohan, and bravery in battle. They are the embodiment of Rohan's martial strength, protecting its borders and fighting for its allies. Figures like Éomer and Théoden exemplify the qualities of the idealized Rohan Warrior.

While no single character is exclusively "Rohan Warrior," the Rohirrim in general, especially during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, collectively function as this archetype. They are skilled in spear and sword fighting, often sporting a helmet with a horsetail crest, and renowned for their charge across the battlefield, breaking enemy lines.
