The One Wiki to Rule Them All

The Gap of Rohan was the opening between the mountain ranges of the Misty Mountains and the White Mountains.[1]

History[]

The River Isen flowed through the Gap of Rohan and formed the boundary of the Kingdom of Rohan. Rohan was formerly known as Calenardhon, and thus the Gap was previously known as the Gap of Calenardhon.

The ancient Great West Road, which once connected Gondor and Arnor, ran through the Gap, crossing the Isen at the Fords of Isen and becoming the North-South Road.

Access to the Gap was controlled by the fortress of Angrenost, or Isengard, which in the later Third Age was controlled by Saruman and by the Hornburg, controlled by Rohan.

During the War of the Ring, the Fellowship of the Ring chose not to travel through the gap because they had learned Saruman was in league with Sauron, and instead passed through Moria, much to the frustration of Boromir. Having passed via the Gap safely on his way north to Rivendell, he proposed that turning back towards the Gap would be the best option after witnessing Moria's desolation.

The Rohirrim fought two battles against the Dunlendings and the Orcs of Saruman in the Gap, during the first of which Prince Théodred, son of Théoden, was mortally wounded.
