Middle-earth March - Day 15
White Lord of the Rings editions for Saruman the White! Before his fall, he was First of the Order of the Wizards and leader of the White Council. His studies of dark magic eventually led him to desire more power and the more time he spent with the Palantír (and so, Sauron), the more corrupted he became. Looking at what a great Maiar he had once been, makes his downfall even more tragic.

A strong place and wonderful was Isengard, and long it had been beautiful; and there great lords had dwelt, the wardens of Gondor upon the West, and wise men that watched the stars. But Saruman had slowly shaped it to his shifting purposes, and made it better, as he thought, being deceived–for all those arts and subtle devises for which he forsook his former wisdom, and which fondly he imagined were his own, came but from Mordor; so that what he made was naught, only a little copy, a child’s model or a slave’s flattery, of that vast fortress, armoury, prison, furnace of great power, Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower, which suffered no rival, and laughed at flattery, biding its time, secure in its pride and its immeasurable strength.
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers, “The Road to Isengard”

(Story of: The Lord of the Rings)
The “Helm’s Deep” was a fortress and last defensive bastion against the hosts of the “Istari” Saruman who decided to demonstrate the superiority of his evil army sent all his troops from Uruk-hais, Orcs and Dunlendines (wild men) to besiege the fortress and eradicate the people of Rohan.
In his aid they were sent to Rohan, the elf Legolas, the dwarf Gimli and the Dúnedain Aragorn, united they led the resistance of the fortress until the arrival of the reinforcements of the magician Gandalf on the fifth day.
In addition to the adaptation of the book with the film, the game was more dramatic and frantic in the defense of “Helm’s Deep”, with screams and explosions plus the epic soundtrack in the background:
