A brave and honorable man, Boromir was the son of Denethor the ruling Steward of Gondor. By nature a man of action, Boromir was a born warrior and delighted in battle and the practice of arms. He came to Rivendell following a strange and prophetic dream and was enrolled in the Fellowship. His military prowess and great strength served them well throughout their journeys. <br /> <br />He could not understand though why the One ring should be destroyed and not itself be used against Sauron. Boromir was the only member of the Fellowship to die in the War of the Ring. He perished under a shower of Orcish arrows, his great long sword in one hand and his hunting horn, the heirloom of his house, in the other.

Helm's Deep was a large valley in the north-western Ered Nimrais (White Mountains). The valley was blocked over its entire width by the natural series of hills called Helm's Dike and behind that lay the fortress of Aglarond or the Hornburg, at the entrance to the Glittering Caves. <br /> <br />It was said in a myth that Helm's Deep would never fall while men defended it. No enemy had ever breached the Deeping wall, or set foot inside the Hornburg, but during the War of the Ring, Saruman's army of Half-Orcs managed to almost overwhelm the defences of the Rohirrim. <br /> <br />Gamling is left in charge of the forces defending Helm's Dike (a fortification across the Deeping-coomb before the stronghold of the Hornburg defending Helm's Deep) by command of Erkenbrand. About 1,000 men had been left to defend Helm's Dike, including Gamling's grandson, and Gamling notes that most of the defenders were either very old (like himself) or very young (like his grandson). <br /> <br />Half-Orcs were a new breed of orcs, a cross with dunlendings to make them bigger and stronger, with more intelligence and a resistance to sunlight (at least Saruman's variant). Saruman armed them with different armor and weapons than those under the thrall of Sauron. Saruman's symbol was the white hand on a black field on the shields. <br />Umbar.

In the Lord of the Rings story, the Corsairs of Umbar were enemies of the state of Gondor, and were under the corrupted rule of Mordor, and therefore Sauron. This resulted in a long standing animosity (usually in the form of piracy) between Umbar and Gondor, which culminated in Umbar's fleet defeat during the siege of Minas Tirith. The Corsairs has planned to sail to support the hordes of Mordor, but were intercepted by Aragorn and his army of undead (the oathbreakers). When they were defeated, Aragorn sailed their ships to support Gondor and the shock of this turn of events helped to route the orcs and break the siege.
