The Ride of Eorl  by Arnakhor

Eorl the Young led the Eotheod south to rescue Gondor’s desperate army at the battle of the Field of Celebrant in the year 2510 of the Third Age.  Much has been written about the subsequent alliance between Eorl’s people and Gondor and the pledges made between Eorl and Cirion. 

However, there is little to mark the details of the battle itself or the preparation, strategies and tactics of the Eotheod, Gondor, Orcs, Balchoth and their leaders in the days leading up to the conflict. 

Nothing at all is written in the known history of the Age of the unplanned inclusion of Aragost, Chieftain of the Dunedain, in the host of the Eotheod.  Keeping it secret for years, he left his account on a scroll hidden deep in the Dunedain archives at Rivendell, only recently discovered along with these two surviving maps of the encounter:

Join us then first in a short foreshadowing chapter in the year 2463 of the Third age, followed by the unfolding of events in the days and weeks leading up to the climactic battle of the Field of Celebrant.
