Set 183 years before the events of the original *Lord of the Rings* trilogy, *The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim* plunges audiences into the tumultuous reign of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan.

This attack forces Helm and his people into a desperate last stand within the formidable Hornburg, the ancient stronghold later known as Helm’s Deep. As the situation grows increasingly perilous, Héra, Helm’s daughter, must find the strength and courage to lead the resistance against Wulf’s relentless onslaught, a foe determined to eradicate Rohan entirely.
