Ruhans

Ruhans is a plural proper noun referring to a fictional people within the world of Middle-earth, as created by J.R.R. Tolkien. They are also known as the Rohirrim, a Sindarin name meaning "Horse-lords." The Ruhans are closely allied with Gondor and are known for their horsemanship and bravery in battle. Their land is Rohan, a grassy plain located north of Gondor. The culture of the Ruhans is heavily influenced by Germanic and Anglo-Saxon traditions, particularly those of the Anglo-Saxons during the Migration Period. Key characteristics include a strong warrior culture, a hierarchical society, and a devotion to horses. Notable Ruhans include King Théoden, Éowyn, and Éomer. Their language is Rohirric, related to the language of the Edain, and is rendered in the text as Old English. The Rohirrim play a significant role in the events of The Lord of the Rings, particularly in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
