Lotthu

Lotthu is a fictional place appearing in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a region within the fictional continent of Middle-earth, specifically located in the southern part of the land of Rohan. While not extensively detailed in Tolkien's published works, Lotthu is mentioned as an area known for its grasslands and pastures, contributing to Rohan's reputation as a land of horse-lords. Its geographical position suggests it lies to the south of the Westfold and east of the Mouths of the Entwash.

The inhabitants of Lotthu are not specifically identified as a distinct group in the lore, but they would have been Rohan people, subject to the King of Rohan. The region's economy would likely have been based on agriculture and animal husbandry, particularly the raising of horses, which were central to Rohan's culture and military. Lotthu's strategic importance, if any, is not elaborated upon, but its location implies it could have served as a buffer or a source of resources for the kingdom. Mentions of Lotthu are scarce, appearing mostly in appendices and genealogies within The Lord of the Rings, offering glimpses into the broader geography and societal structure of Rohan.
