12 - War of the Rohirrim

“ 'If Helm dislikes a crooked staff that is thrust on him, he breaks it. So!' With that, he smote Freca with such a blow with his first that he fell back stunned, and died soon after."

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this special announcement: a new feature film set in Middle-Earth is in the works! New Line and Warner Bros. surprised everyone yesterday with an announcement that they are planning a full length anime adaptation of Rohan's war with the Dunlendings, set around 250 years before the events of Lord of the Rings. This story is found in the appendices to the Return of the King, and features the legendary Helm Hammerhand. Join us as we talk about this exciting news.
