Having defeated the defenders of Helms Deep, Saruman set his eyes on the Rohan capital of Edoras. Gandalf, Théoden, and Aragorn were all his prisoner and only Deorwine, Captain of the Royal Guard, was left to garrison Edoras. Having won priority in Turn 7, Saruman and his army moved into Westemnet, almost guaranteeing that he would reach Edoras by Turn 8. Treebeard and his three remaining huorns moved into the Folde so they could come to Deorwine's defense.

With no battle being fought in Turn 7, priority was rolled for Turn 8, the final turn in the campaign. The Evil side again won priority and moved the Isengard army into Edoras. Deorwine stood on the the ramparts of Edoras and looked out at the mass army of uruk-hai before him. With only two companies of Royal Guard, Deorwine surrendered Edoras to Saruman without a fight. Treebeard seeing this, moved into Eastemnet so he could save the huorns and return to Fangorn to go into a long tree slumber. There will be no dawn for man.

I go into an analysis of the entire campaign and a sneak preview of our next one in my blog. Click the link below for this and a recap of all the previous turns of our War of the Ring Rohan Campaign.
