A MONTH OF TRAVELLING – E

EDORAS (Taru sormusten herrasta – The Lord of the Rings)

“A dike and mighty wall and thorny fence encircle it. Within there rise the roofs of houses; and in the midst, set upon a green terrace, there stands aloft a great hall of Men. And it seems to my eyes that it is thatched with gold. The light of it shines far over the land…”

Edoras on Rohanin pääkaupunki, ja minä niin haluaisin käydä Rohanissa. Onhan se sentään rohirrimin, ratsuruhtinaiden maa, jossa, no, on paljon hevosia ja ihmisiä, jotka rakastavat hevosia, ja laajoja tasankoja, joilla voi ratsastaa hevosilla. Edoras itsessään on myös komea paikka, ja sen arkkitehtuuri (ainakin Peter Jacksonin elokuvissa) on todella hienoa.

Edoras is the capital of Rohan, and I’d really want to visit Rohan. After all, it is the home of the rohirrim, the horse lords, and it is a country with, well, lots of horses and people who love horses and plains where you can ride horses. Edoras itself is also such an awesome place, and its architecture (at least in the movies by Peter Jackson) is really cool.
