Wídfara was a man of Rohan during the War of the Ring.
History
His home was in the Wold, the wild grasslands of Rohan's northern border, and in these northern lands he had acquired a special weather-sense. He followed Théoden to Minas Tirith and it was he who first reported a change in the wind during the long ride, a change that augured the end of Sauron's looming darkness.[1] He fought in the ensuing Battle of the Pelennor Fields.[2]
Etymology
Wídfara is Old English for "far, wide traveller".
