Lord Thorne of the Wold™ is one of the many lords of Rohan™ under Helm Hammerhand's rule. An extravagant looking nobleman with an ingratiating air, Lord Thorne has long since served his liege in times of war and become a trusted advisor. Yet Thorne has great ambition and a lust for power, which could bring his loyalties into doubt.
Lord Thorne is the latest character to be revealed for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, a craven lordling of Rohan sworn to King Helm – whose ambition leads to a betrayal.
He is a Rohan Hero of Fortitude, and the only way Usurpers of Edoras players can field Traitor Rohan units. In fact, his whole deal is betraying Rohan, as his special rules show.
