The Fellowship has been broken. Boromir is dead. Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee have gone to Mordor alone to destroy the One Ring. Merry and Pippin have been captured by the Uruk-hai and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli have made friends of the Rohan. The two towers between Mordor and Isengard, have united in their lust for destruction. The corrupt wizard Saruman, under the power of the Dark Lord Sauron, have created a grand Uruk-hai army bent on the destruction of Man and Middle-earth. The rebellion against Sauron is building up and will be led by Gandalf the White. One of the Ring's original bearers, Gollum, has tracked Frodo and Sam, but is captured by the Hobbits and used as a way to lead them to Mt. Doom. The War of the Ring has now begun... |
