Lord Thorne of the Wold Defies Liege Helm Hammerhand
Lord Thorne of the Wold was one of the many lords of Rohan under Helm Hammerhand’s rule. A nobleman of extravagant means, Thorne was a trusted advisor and advisor to his liege in times of war. But Thorne’s ambitions and desire for power challenged Thorne’s loyalty.
