Eastemnet is the wide land of Rohan east of the River Entwash until the Anduin, the easternmost land of the kingdom.[1]
There were few fixed settlements here, but many of the herdsmen of the Rohirrim lived a nomadic existence on the fields of the Eastemnet, living out of temporary camps and driving their herds across the grasslands.[2]
Etymology
Emnet means "plain" in Rohirric.[3]
