Realm in northern Middle Earth (JRR Tolkien's world), the original home of the people who later became the Rohirrim. The word was used to refer to both the realm and the people. The people moved to Rohan and became the Rohirrim after aiding Gondor at the Battle of the Field of Celebrant and being granted the province of Calenardhon (Rohan) as a reward. Eotheod is also the place of origin of the mearas, the great horses of Rohan.
Marked on maps in the Lord of the Rings, but never figures in the book. The War in Middle Earth PC game has tastefully sited a number of ruined towns and an important artefact in the region.

Get the Eotheod mug.A region of Beleriand, in the north, just to the south of Ard-Galen/Anfauglith and separated by a thin strip of land from Doriath to the south. It is a plateau surrounded by tall mountains which can be reached only via a few dangerous passes, which seem to lead mainly to Nan Dungortheb. Notable features include Rivil's Well and Tarn Aeluin.
Its role in Tolkien's book The Silmarillion is mainly as a site of a rearguard action by a small, heroic band of 14 outlaws led by the human king Barahir and including his son, Beren. It was overrun by Morgoth's forces after Dagor Bragollach, and became a scene of guerrilla battles until eventually only the 14 remained, harassing orkish patrols in the region. After Sauron crushed the outlaws, it was renamed Taur-nu-Fuin.

Sounds like "half-orc", but confusingly, the character is fully human (though a little on the pudgy side). Anyway, there's no Orcs in the Lone Wolf universe.
