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 legendary King of Rohan, House Helm Hammerhand. A sudden attack by Wulf, a cunning and ruthless Dunlending lord determined to avenge his father’s death, forces Helm and his men to make a last, daring stand at the ancient fortress of Hornburg – a mighty fortress that would later become known as Helm’s Deep. In an increasingly desperate situation, Hera, Helm’s daughter, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy bent on total destruction.
