What will the plot of Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim be?

Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim storyline will transport us 183 years before The Two Towers, and 261 years before The Fellowship of the Ring, to the time of the legendary King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand. Helm ascended to the throne of Rohan in 2741 and now faces the daunting task of defending against an army of Dunlendings.

Dunlendings are the mortal men who would later ally with Saruman. In Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the Dunlendings' King, Freca, demands that his son Wulf be married to Helm's daughter. Unwilling to succumb to threats, Helm's response is anything but passive, sparking a clash of titans that will echo through the ages. This battle will ultimately have Helm become the namesake of the iconic stronghold of Helm's Deep.
