2Fram and Scatha might be better characterized as an attack by Rohan on the lands of a dragon. As I understand it, it was the migration of Éothéod northward through the Vales of Anduin that brought them into conflict with Scatha.– ericksonCommented Aug 22, 2022 at 15:51

1@ibid, I primarily want to know if a dragon had ever attacked the lands of Rohan and/or Gondor as they would have appeared on a world map of Middle-earth in the 3rd Age just before the War of the Ring.– user143126Commented Aug 22, 2022 at 16:23

1@erickson - I interpreted "the land had peace from the long-worms afterwards" as an indicator that Scatha (or at the very least other dragons) had been attacking them prior to Scatha's death.– ibidCommented Aug 22, 2022 at 22:49

1@user57467 - I think the answer to that would be "not that we know about from anything Tolkien has ever said". I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that it happened off-screen or prior to the Numenoreans settling those lands, but if it did Tolkien never discussed it. I shall reword my answer to out this info front and center.– ibidCommented Aug 22, 2022 at 22:52

Unfinished Tales places Éothéod (where Frumgar had led his people) north of Mirkwood, so quite close to Ered Wetherin.– chepnerCommented Aug 26, 2022 at 16:54

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
