Eorl the Young leads the attack against the Warriors of Khand.

Obviously, Tolkien already wrote the history of the House of Eorl. The events that led to the creation of Rohan are set in stone within The Lord of The Rings. However, that doesn't mean we can't relive some of those exciting historic moments through fun gaming scenarios. They may not change the fate of Middle-earth, but these scenarios let us indulge our nostalgic need to re-create the past in a fun way.

In game terms, that means it probably doesn't make sense to link these scenarios if re-creation is our goal. If Good failed to achieve victory at any point in these scenarios, history would have been different and subsequent events might not have occurred. That would end our fun too early, however, so feel free to play these scenarios as "one-off" experiments to see if you could match Eorl's skill as a leader.

However, if you are comfortable with higher stakes, then feel free to link the scenarios much like A Shadow in the East does with its first four scenarios. Just add in the "Field of Celebrant" scenario from that sourcebook to the four scenarios in this article (insert it between "Flight of the Éothéod" and "Death in the Wold"). Any slain Heroes return in the subsequent scenario with only a single Wound and a lone Will point; no Might or Fate. Also, for the "Field of Celebrant" scenario, reduce the number of Riders of Rohan by 1 for every Evil win in the series, and reduce the number of Khandish Warriors by 2 for every Good win in the preceding scenarios. Alternately, if you're really confident, play "Field of Celebrant" with the remaining Rohan forces left from the "Flight of the Éothéod" scenario. Okay, on to the scenarios.
