![]() ![]() However this attack was thwarted by the timely arrival of Talion and Eltariel, who fought back against the Nazgûl before they were forced out of Shelob's cave by Eltariel and her use of the Light of Galadriel. To this end, they travelled to Shelob's cave beneath Cirith Ungol and attacked the giant spider in attempt to force her to give up the ring. Shortly after claiming Minas Ithil and the city's transformation into Minas Morgul, Helm was sent with his fellow Nazgûl to seize The New Ring, crafted by Celebrimbor and Talion. With his fellow Nazgûl as well as the Orc armies of Sauron, Hammerhand (presumably, as he was never seen in the attack and doesn't actually appear until the fight in Shelob's cave alongside Isildur and Suladân) assisted in the siege and eventual claiming of Minas Ithil as well as the Palantir for Sauron. He appeared to become a great beast master, commanding forces of Ghûls, Caragors, Graugs and even mighty Drakes, using them for various activities, such as laying siege to the fortress of Seregost called Khargukôr, and doing battle against Talion and Celebrimbor. In death, Hammerhand was just as powerful, if not more so than he was in life, and he gladly served his Dark Lord. Infuriated, Helm proceeded to take his hammer and kill both friend and foe alike in the chamber where his daughter died, even going as far as to kill one of his own men with their helmet.Īt some point after this event, Hammerhand fell completely into the darkness and became a Ringwraith under the thrall of Sauron, enslaved to the will of his Dark Lord and the One Ring. ![]() However, in an attempt to stop her father, his own daughter Bernwyn stepped forward in front of his hammer, causing him to accidentally strike her down and kill her. Renewed, Helm lay siege to his enemy's fortress, intending to get his daughter back from the warlord who had taken her.Ĭonfronting his enemy in his chamber, Helm's daughter Bernwyn, asked Siric not fight her father, before the warlord threatened Hammerhand, claiming that by killing him he would start a war, to which Hammerhand declared war had already came, before swinging at his enemy with his great war hammer. Some time later, Siric ambushed Helm and his daughter whilst they rode through the forest, and had his archers strike him down with a flurry of arrows at point blank, and abduct his daughter.ĭying from his injuries, Helm was visited on his deathbed at Edoras by Sauron (in the guise of Annatar, his fair form), and Celebrimbor Sauron gifted him a Ring of Power, promising Helm it would ensure his "daughter's safe return" and he very rapidly fell under its dark influence. He was thus transformed by the terrible incident and his Ring of Power into a Nazgûl, one of Sauron's most powerful and terrible servants.Īt some point in life, a powerful warlord known as Siric desired Helm's daughter, Berwyn, as a wife, and demanded her hand in marriage, which Helm refused. Horrified, his grief turned to rage, and Helm proceeded to slaughter his rival and even his own captains who tried to stop him. ![]() However, when Helm's daughter tried to stop her father's rage, Hammerhand accidentally struck her down, killing her with his war hammer. When he recovered, he attacked his would-be assassin, declaring that war had come upon his enemy's house. As he lay dying at Edoras, Annatar ( Sauron in fair form) and Celebrimbor visited the wounded king, giving him one of the Nine Rings of Power. In his day, his rule was plagued by a war with the Dunlendings, who were attempting to usurp his rule of Rohan.Īmbushed by a warlord who wanted his throne and had taken his daughter for a lover, Helm was shot at point blank range with arrows. He was the ninth King of Rohan and last King of the first line. Helm Hammerhand is an antagonist in Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
