[edit] Biography
Born in TA 2804 Folca was the son of Walda.
Folca became King of Rohan in TA 2851 at the age of forty-seven after his father was killed by an orc.
When his father was slain Folca swore an oath to hunt no animal while an orc was left within the borders of Rohan. It took Folca thirteen years to hunt down and destroy all the orcs remianing in Rohan avenging the murder of his father and clearing the lands of Rohan of the threat posed by the orcs.
In TA 2864 at the age of sixty, having fulfilled his oath to hunt down and destroy all the remaining orcs in Rohan, King Folca went to Firien Wood to hunt the great Boar of Everholt. Although, King Folca managed to kill the beast during the hunt, the boar fatally gored King Folca who died shortly after killing the boar from the tusk wounds he received. King Folca was succeeded by his son Folcwine.
King Folca earned the nickname The Hunter for his hunting prowess.
