The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim takes place 183 years before the events of the original film trilogy and tells the story of the fate of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary house of Rohan. A sudden attack by the wise and ruthless Lord Wolf of Dunlending, bent on avenging his father’s death, forces Helm and his men to make a brave last stand at the ancient fortress of Hornburg, the mighty fortress that later became known as Helm’s Deep. Faced with an increasingly desperate situation, Helm’s daughter Hera must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy bent on their complete destruction.
