"Where it issues from the shadow of the vale a green hill rises upon the east. A dike and mighty wall and thorny fence encircle it. Within there rise the roofs of houses; and in the midst, set upon a green terrace, there stands aloft a great hall of Men. And it seems to my eyes that it is thatched with gold. The light of it shines far over the land. Golden, too, are the posts of its doors." The Two Towers, Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. I based my design for the Rohirrim on the Goths from late antiquity and vaguely other nomadic steppe people like the Sarmatians who relied heavily on their horsemanship. I chose the Goths because they had a similar history as the Rohirrim/Eothead in the books although Tolkien based them on the Anglo Saxons. The Goths finally settled in Italy and Spain after a long period of migration.
