Set 183 years before the events of the original film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim tells the story of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a cunning and ruthless Lord of Dunlending seeking revenge for his father’s death, forces Helm and his men to make a daring final stand at the ancient fortress of Hornburg – a mighty fortress that would later become known as Helm’s Deep. Finding themselves in an increasingly desperate situation, Hera, Helm’s daughter, must muster the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy bent on their complete destruction.
