The Story of The War of the Rohirrim
What is The War of the Rohirrim about? The prequel takes place around 250 years before The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The film tells the story of the legendary horsemen of the Rohirrim, who live in the land of Rohan.
At the center of the action is the legendary Battle of Rohan, in which King Helm Hammerhand, played by Brian Cox, wants to defend his kingdom. Included are the following characters from The Lord of the Rings:
In the fight, the Dunlendings, led by Wulf, meet the resistance led by Helm’s daughter, Hera. Since the capital of Edoras does not lend itself to such a bloody battle, the impregnable defenses of Hornburg are built in Helm’s Deep before the battle. The opponents should bite their teeth on this.
The War of the Rohirrim is set after the events of the Amazon series The Rings of Power. The events of the series are set 1,000 years before the events of the trilogy.
