Wídfara was a man of Rohan during the War of the Ring.

[edit] History

He followed Théoden to Minas Tirith. 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. 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]

[edit] Etymology

Wídfara is Old English for "far, wide traveller".
