The War of the Ring: Kings of Middle Earth

Years before the War of the Ring, the Dark Lord Sauron attempted to bend the will of the kings and rulers of the Free Peoples through subtle machinations. His objective was to turn them into impotent puppets, or at least weaken them in the preparation of his plans of conquest. When war came, they fought bravely against the Dark Lord, but for some of them the weakness that Sauron bred proved nearly fatal.

The role of the rulers of the Free Peoples and their weaknesses is the central theme of Kings of Middle-earth, the third expansion of The War of the Ring. The role they played in the story is greatly expanded, with new figures and rules bringing Theodén, Denethor, Daìn, Brand and Thranduil to life. Also included are additional characters to expand the Armies of Shadows, the Dark Chieftains.
