{"name":"Riders of Rohan","overview":"[h2]Fear No Darkness[\/h2]\r\nPeerless horsemen who came from the North long ago to answer Gondor's call for aid, the Riders of Rohan roam the vast grasslands of their home on magnificent steeds whom they love as kin. The Men of the Mark are a generous folk, but when war is upon them then they are as fell to their enemies as they are loyal to their friends. When the lust of battle is on them they can appear as men stricken with grief, their faces deathly white, or as madmen ready to laugh at despair.\r\n\r\nThe great plains to the north of the realm of Gondor were once known as Calenardhon before the Steward Cirion granted them to a Northman, Eorl the Young, as a reward for his aid and valor on the Field of Celebrant. Its borders stretch from the Fords of Isen in the west to the Mouths of the Entwash in the east.\r\n\r\nRolling hills and golden grain fields are broken to the south only by the White Mountains where the fortress of Helm's Deep lies, and to the north by the ancient Fangorn Forest where even the courageous Riders of the Mark do not go.","image_id":"","ability_score_increase":"Your Wisdom score increases by 1 and you may increase two additional ability scores by 1.","age":"","alignment":"","size":"Medium","speed":"","languages":"You can speak the tongue of Rohan which is loosely related to the tongue of the Anduin Vales.

Darker hair and eyes are not unknown, though uncommon, and such features are at times looked down upon. They are deemed the signs of Dunlending ancestry, who are regarded with suspicion by the Rohirrim. Both men and women grow their hair long and often tie it in long braids, especially when riding.\r\n\r\nWhile devoted to warfare in all its forms, the Riders of Rohan embrace life to its fullest, celebrating all its positive aspects in song and deed, and mourning their passing in sadness when forgetfulness and old age approach. Famed throughout Middle-earth for their horsemanship, they are equally feared for their prowess in battle, for their skills are formidable and they sing when they kill.","source":"Adventures in Middle-Earth (5e) - pgs 54 - 56","jsondata":"","tags":"race, player, AiME","templateId":"5520","blockId":"1257870","world":"80810c98-4f97-422a-9ad9-f4dcae5086fd","folder":"21931","isShared":"on"}
