Born in Rohan, Ermanred, son of Ealhelm was driven from the bounds of the Riddermark by the forces of the enemy who even now strike at the bounds of the Eastemnet. Following the destruction of his family's estate, Ermanred and his kin fled to Eriador where they found a home and work in the company of Eogar of Hengstacer Farm, just north of Bree. While there, Ermanred continued to train under his father in the art of swordsmanship until his father was set upon and killed by brigands on the Bree-fields. After his father's passing, Ermanred continued to train, this time under Eogar, a fellow Rohir. Now, at the age of twenty-five, Ermanred prepares to make his stand against the Enemy and aid the Free Folk in their fight against the growing Shadow.
