Storyline

The Grey Company has departed from Enedwaith and entered Dunland proper on their continuing journey to Rohan, where they seek their chieftain Aragorn. The Rangers work to gain the friendship of the Dunlending clans and thwart Saruman's war-building efforts. The mysterious Falcon-clan offers their services to help break the muster of the combined Dunlending armies at Wulf's Cleft, but can they be trusted? And in the Heathfells, the forces of Théodred, Prince of Rohan, stand firm at the Ford of Isen, ready to repel the Dunlending threat, all but oblivious to the storm brewing to the north within the Ring of Isengard. Join the Grey Company and Théodred's Riders as they make a desperate stand against the White hand of Saruman.
