In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Hallas was the thirteenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and academic, who is best known as the author of the classic high fantasy works The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.
Middle-earth is the fictional setting of much of British writer J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. The term is equivalent to the term Midgard of Norse mythology, describing the human-inhabited world, that is, the central continent of the Earth in Tolkien's imagined mythological past.
Hallas was born in T.A. 2480 and succeeded his father Cirion at his death in T.A. 2567. Calenardhon had been given by his father to the Éothéod, and this people began to migrate to the land. Hallas devised the names Rochand and Rochirrim for the land and its people, which became Rohan and Rohirrim in the Sindarin dialect of Gondor. [1] In effect Gondor had been halved in size, but it had gained a strong ally to the north.
Cirion is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth. He is first mentioned in the Appendices of Return of the King as the twelfth ruling Steward of Gondor. His role is later expanded in Unfinished Tales.
In the fictional world of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Éothéod were a group of Northmen who became the ancestors of the Rohirrim. The word, meaning "horse people", is a compound of the Old English words éoh and théod ; it is cognate with Old Norse jóþjóð. Tolkien used the word to refer also to the land they occupied in the Vales of Anduin.
Rohan is a kingdom in J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy setting of Middle-earth. It is mainly a grassland, and lies north-west of its ally Gondor, and further north-west of Mordor, the realm of Sauron, their enemy. It is inhabited by the Rohirrim, a people of herdsmen and farmers who are well known for their horses and cavalry. The realm is of significant importance in the author's book, The Lord of the Rings. Much of the background of Rohan is grounded in Anglo-Saxon tradition.
War never ceased on Gondor's eastern borders as the Balchoth were not completely destroyed, but they were no longer a serious threat. More a problem were the Corsairs of Umbar, who kept raiding the coasts.
In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, "Easterling" and "Easterlings" were generic terms for Men who lived in Rhûn, the vast eastern region of Middle-earth. Many fought under Morgoth and his successor Sauron, the Dark Lords of Middle-earth.
The Corsairs of Umbar were a fleet of Men of Umbar in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, allied to Sauron in his war against Gondor.
He was followed by his son Húrin II at his death in T.A. 2605.

In some early variants of the Quenta Silmarillion tradition published in The History of Middle-earth, Hallas is also the name of the son of Orodreth. The character of Orodreth's son slain by Orcs reappeared often and under different names, but was later abandoned and finally replaced by Gil-galad, later High King of the Noldor.
