Eomer
Northman, prince of Rohan. Born in 3019 of the Third Age,
Eomer was the nephew of King Théoden of Rohan, and like
nearly his entire race was tall, strong and golden-haired.
Before the War of the Ring, Eomer was a marshal of
Riddermark, but through his friendship with Gandalf and his
concern about the evil influence of the king�s adviser, Grima
Worm-tongue, he fell out of favour. During the War of the
Ring he fought with distinction at the battles of Homburg,
Pelennor Fields and at the Black Gate of Mordor. When King
Théoden received mortal wounds on Pelennor Fields, he
named Eomer his heir. He became the eighteenth king of
Rohan and ruled until the year 63 of the Fourth Age. In 3020,
he married Princess Lothiriel of Dol Amroth, who soon after
bore his son and heir, Elfwine the Fair.
