(taglines) Helm Hammerhand Riders of the Mark, Brothers of Rohan, arise! Rohan still stands! You do not seek an alliance, you seek a throne. You know nothing of war. We have faced down death, famine, war, to hold these lands together. When the songs of this day are sung, when the names of its heroes are read, we will stand! Hèra I pledge to fight for my king. Our fathers speak as if I were not even in the room. It isn't that I don't wish to marry you, Wulf. I don't wish to marry any man. The boy I knew would never wish for war. I'm the fastest rider you have. We have to get our people out! I know you feel like you've lost everything, but I'm still with you, father. I'm still here. I am bride to no one. You may wear a crown upon your head, but that does not make you a king! Wulf Hèra, daughter of Helm. I, Wulf, seek your hand in marriage. He's dead! You will pay for this with your life. The boy you knew is gone. Your people will perish. First, I will kill your brothers, then your father. With or without honor, I will take the throne. You think I am afraid of you? [Hèra: You should be.] Freca We've come with an offer to strengthen Rohan. You do not command the loyalty you think you do. You will live to regret this, old man. Dress the girl however you like. Your daughter’s no lady. No wonder she’s wild. Raised by a brute like you. “Feral” they call her. Right at home in the rough country. But, no, she’s “too good” for my son. Your daughter will come crawling on her knees, begging my son to marry her before the end. Éowyn [narrating] All Middle-earth knows the tale of the War of the Ring. But 200 years before that, there was an older tale. [narrating] It is not easy to hold on to hope when an ill wind blows. Winter bit hard that year. Yet still, the siege held fast. [narrating] Night after night, a ghostly horn echoed in the Deep, the harbinger of death. Fear took hold of Wulf's men. Whispers spread that Helm Hammerhand was human no more. He bore no weapon, and no weapon could smite him. A terror born of madness and grief, a wraith. Others Wrot: What does Mordor want with rings anyway? Saruman: If you should ever be in need of assistance, my lord.
