“Still some miles away, on the far side of the Westfold Vale, lay a green coomb, a great bay in the mountains, out of which a gorge opened in the hills. Men of that land called it Helm's Deep, after a hero of old wars who had made his refuge there. Ever steeper and narrower it wound inward from the north under the shadow of the Thrihyrne, till the crowhaunted cliffs rose like mighty towers on either side, shutting out the light.” - The Two Towers.
The unbreachable fortifications of Helm’s Deep made it the perfect place for the women and childeren tofind shelter in times of war. Fortunately Rohan has remained undere a blanket of peace for the last decades. However, Middle Earth is still a perilous place, where Orcs roam about freely at night. Rohan is never unprepared to face the dangers of the world. Under command of Eomer, King of the Mark, several Rohirrim are posted at Helm’s Deep to keep it ready for use.
