Lore Question : Reunited Kingdom's Boundaries

**brymht** · December 20, 2010, 10:53 AM

I'm unaware of much of what happened AFTER Return of the King. What were the boundaries of the Reunited Kingdom exactly, as it would pertain to the map of Middle Earth we are looking at right now?

Did it include Rohan as a tributary kingdom? Did it reach all the way to Arnor? I remember it was mentioned Gondor fought long against the Eastlings and Haradrim after ROTK; but it never mentions precise boundaries.

If you are able to create a Reunited Kingdom either as Arnor or Gondor; can there be some bonus activated in game?

Should additional "partial" units ever become available for a Gondorian Empire? ie: Half Gondorian / Haradrim Archers; Gondorian / Easterling Horse Archers; etc?

Rohan remained independent, Arnor was only included in it's borders as they were at the beginning of the Third Age, and Enedwaith remained independent.

Gondor's borders are unclear, though it mentions Aragorn reconquered Umbar, so most likely Harondor became Gondorian once again.

So Gondor took possession of Arnor; with Rohan existing IN BETWEEN? That seems strange. Thanks or the info!

Well, untill 2500 Rohan was Calenardhon and a Gondorian province, now Rohan is an ally of Gondor/Reunited Kingdom.

They probably reclaimed the Brown lands as well.

I think the thread has pretty much served its purpose now.....

BTW: there is a "ASK QUESTIONS THREAD" which you can ask your questions related to the game instead of creating new threads

I think an honest answer would be that the boundaries are not exactly known.

The known facts about the Reuinited Kingdom are:
- It contained Gondor
- It contained Arnor in its old borders
- The Shire remained independent and an ally (though I would think that there was some kind of dependancy, though probably a voluntary one, just think about the children of the elite serving at Aragorns court - in all times there were a lot of different international relationships possible that could be covered with the term "independent"

)
- Rohan remained independent and an ally
- many lands were subdued in the east and south, Aragorn and Eomer fought battles beyond the sea of Rhun

But the exact borders especially in the east and south are never mentioned, the same thing with the Enedwaith question.

Edit: And I think this would best fit the "Tolkien General Discussion"-Thread.
