Storied Tale: Helm's Dike

Saruman's forces march toward the fortress of Helm's Deep. Only one barrier stands in the way of Saruman's armies: the rampart of Helm's Dike, built across the trench through which Saruman's forces must pass. If the gate is broken, the green expanse before the wall will be laid bare to Rohan's approaching foes.
