The Westmarch was a region in western Eriador that was a part of the Shire.
History[]
In FO 31 (SR 1452), King Elessar granted the Shire a stretch of new land: this reached from the ancient western borders of the Shire, the White Downs, to the Tower Hills. Thereafter, the area between the downs and the hills became known as the Westmarch.
The eldest daughter of Mayor Samwise Gamgee, Elanor the Fair, married Fastred of Greenholm, and they moved to the Westmarch settling in the town of Under-towers at the foot of the Tower Hills. After the passing of Master Samwise, they and their children became known as the Fairbairns of the Towers, and the Red Book of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins passed into their keeping, becoming known as the Red Book of Westmarch.
In terms of governance, the Westmarch was a region of itself, and like Buckland across the river Brandywine, it was not part of any of the four Farthings of the Shire.[1] The Fairbairns governed the region as Wardens of Westmarch.
