Product Backstory
Many years after the One Ring was seemingly lost, a growing shadow threatens the peace of Middle-earth. The power of the Dark Lord Sauron gains strength and is again spreading, finding servants of all races to carry out his bidding until the One Ring can find its way back to him. As the ancient armies of Sauron are waking, preparing for the battle to end the Third Age, the race of Men face a threat from within.

Sickened by unseen evil, perhaps even by a subtle poison, King Theoden must rely on his highest advisor Grima Wormtongue to keep command of Rohan. But this dark evil has also weakened Grima's loyalty to his people. As the henchman of Saruman, Grima is tasked with misleading Theoden and weakening Rohan against the attack of Sauron's army. Stealing away relics of Theoden's triumphs, Grima breaks the once powerful King's spirit. The stalwart leader is reduced to illness and despair, reliant on Grima's counsel ever more, as Grima's misdeeds create an irreversible breach in Rohan's strength.
