From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, Rhûn is a large region of eastern Middle-earth.
Rhûn is a name used for all lands lying east Rhovanion, around and beyond the inland Sea of Rhûn.
Dorwinion lay in Rhûn, and the Easterlings of the Balchoth and Wainriders lived there.
Rhûn was conquered by Gondor two times: under the Kings Rómendacil I and Rómendacil II, but the Númenóreans never had full control over it.
Rhûn was finally subdued in the Fourth Age under King Elessar and his son Eldarion.
