This huge example of porcine power had become a byword for wildness and ferocity in the Firien Wood on the borders of Rohan in T.A. 2864. King Folca of Rohan, after cleaning all the Orcholds from Rohan, went to reward himself with a true royal hunt, but it was the Boar who became the hunter that day. Folca speared the Boar in a vital spot, but this mighty creature still had enough strength left to gouge the king to death with its mighty tusks. Boar and monarch died together.
