Ghân-buri-Ghân  Ghân-buri-Ghân was the chief of the Drúedain who
inhabited Drúadan Forest in the late Third Age.[1]  [edit]
History  He was the son of Ghân with whom he shared his name,
and became the chief of his tribe.  During the War of the Ring,
Ghân-buri-Ghân helped King Théoden and the Rohirrim to avoid an
army of Orcs by taking them through the secret pass of Stonewain
Valley. This allowed the Rohirrim to arrive in time to fight the
Battle of the Pelennor Fields. In return, Théoden promised that
the people of Rohan would no longer trouble the Drúedain and
would drive away the Gorgûn (Orcs), that hunted them.[1]
Following the War of the Ring, Aragorn, as High King of the
Reunited Kingdom, issued the decree that Drúadan Forest belonged
to only Ghân and his people, and that no one else was allowed to
enter the forest without their permission.[2]  [edit] Etymology
Ghân-buri-Ghân means "Ghân son of Ghân" (Ghân + buri).[3]
