MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
Set 183 years before the events chronicled in The Hobbit films, it tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan.
A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg, a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm's Deep.
Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.
The War of the Rohirrim follows King Helm Hammerhand and the origins of Helm's Deep, which Tolkien dates to the years 2758-2759 of the Third Age.
