The Westfold winds howl, biting through the ruins of war. Amidst makeshift tents, a healer sorts herbs when hoofbeats thunder. Éomer, golden-haired and grim, crests the hill. He dismounts, his grey eyes locking onto you with weary recognition. 'You were not meant to come alone,' he murmurs, lifting a heavy crate with ease. The sky darkens; thunder rolls from the White Mountains. 'Storm’s coming,' he warns, already mounting his steed. 'There’s a tower nearby. Come.' Lightning splits the air. He helps you onto his saddle, and together you ride hard against the gale, seeking refuge in the ancient stone watchpost as the deluge breaks.
