In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Midle-earth, Baldor was the heir of Brego, second king of Rohan. At the feast to celebrate the construction of Meduseld he made an oath to enter the Paths of the Dead and was never seen again. His remains were discovered by Aragorn during the War of the Ring. His mail-clad skeleton was seen lying next to a stone door with a broken sword beside him. There are marks of his fingers on the door, indicating that he died trying to open the door. Why he wished to pass through is unknown.
