- The Return of the King

Ghân-buri-Ghân early history is unknown. He was best known for his aid to King Théoden's relief army of Rohirrim to the aid of the city of Minas Tirith. He guided them through a safe path through the secret pass of Stonewain Valley to avoid an attack by the orcs, so they could safely reach Minas Tirith with reinforcements before it was conquered by the enemy. In return, Théoden promises that his people will make peace with the Drúedain, and that his people will battle and drive away the Gorgûn (Orcs), that have been troubling the Drúedain for years. When Aragorn became King of the Reunited Kingdom, the Drúadan Forest officially belonged to Ghân-buri-Ghân and his people and no one could enter their without their permission.

“He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary. 'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door,' he used to say. 'You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.” 

After the Éothéod had settled in Rohan, the Second King of Rohan, Bregoson of Eorl, began building a great hall on top of the hill of Edoras. Meduseld was a large hall with a straw roof, which made it appear as if it was made out of gold when seen from far off. Its walls were richly decorated with tapestries depicting the history and legends of the Rohirrim, and it served as a house for the King and his kin, a meeting hall for the King and his advisers, and a party hall. In the late Third Age, Meduseld was the home of King Théoden. Háma was its doorward up until March 3019. After The War of The Ring the Golden Hall went through an extreme renovation that turned it into a huge palace that would house the king of Rohan and his family for many years.
