Entwade was the name for the fords on the river Entwash, around fifty-five miles northeast of Edoras in Rohan.[1]
History
In the year TA 3018, the Nazgûl crossed into Rohan from Anórien by means of the ford, on their way to the Shire.[2] The Entwade was later mentioned by Éomer as the destination of his éored at his first meeting with Aragorn in TA 3019.[3]
In adaptations
In The Lord of the Rings Online, despite the Entwash being the shallowest in this spot, the Entwade crossing is only made possible by the wooded raft-bridges that connect both banks to a small island in the middle. The crossing itself is guarded by the town also called Entwade on the western bank, and only those granted leave are allowed to cross.
