Déorwine was the Chief of the King's Riders during the War of the Ring.
History[edit | edit source]
Déorwine replaced Háma in the post when the latter was killed at Helm's Deep. He and six of the men under his command (Harding, Guthláf, Herefara, Herubrand, Horn and Fastred) were slain at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name Déorwine probably means "brave-friend" in Old English, consisting of dēor ("brave, bold (as a wild beast)" + wine ("friend").[2]
Portrayal in adaptations[edit | edit source]
2012: The Lord of the Rings Online: Riders of Rohan:
- Déorwine is a member of Théoden's royal guard and is first found in Edoras and later in Helm's Deep. The player next meets him in the Drúadan Forest on their way to Minas Tirith. During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields Déorwine is killed when the Witch-King of Angmar attacks King Théoden.
