Ghân-buri-Ghân was the chief of the Drúedain of Drúadan Forest in the Third Age.
Biography[]
Ghân-buri-Ghân's early history is unknown. He was best known for giving aid to King Théoden's relief army of Rohirrim to the aid of the city of Minas Tirith during the Siege of Gondor. He guided them along a safe path through the secret pass of Stonewain Valley to avoid being attacked by the Orcs, so they could safely reach Minas Tirith with reinforcements before it was conquered by the enemy. In return, Théoden promised that his people would make peace with the Drúedain, and that his people would battle and drive away the Gorgûn (Orcs), that had been troubling the Drúedain for years.
When Aragorn became King of the Reunited Kingdom, he officially granted the Drúadan Forest to Ghân-buri-Ghân and his people, and decreed that no one could enter it without their permission. Whether this included the Beacon Keepers at Eilenach is not recorded.
Portrayal in adaptations[]
In The Lord of the Rings Online, Ghân-buri-Ghân has two sons, the younger of whom is Khôr-buri-Ghân and the eldest Bhai-buri-Ghân. The latter has been recently slain by Orcs, which motivates Ghân to assist the outsiders against Mordor. The player is the first to discover the Wose, and after spending time gaining Ghân-buri-Ghân's trust, it is the player who leads him to King Théoden's company.
