Set 183 years before the events of the original film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a cunning and ruthless Dunlending lord bent on avenging his father’s death, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient fortress of Hornburg – a mighty fortress that later becomes known as Helm’s Deep. In an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, Helm’s daughter, must muster the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy bent on their utter destruction.
