The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies™ Doubles Campaign Weekend: Towards t

Event Description

The dragon Smaug™ now lies dead, slain by the bravery and tenacity of Bard the Bowman™. The underground kingdom of Erebor stands occupied but by a handful of dwarf-folk; Thorin Oakenshield™, the heir to the throne and his Company have barricaded themselves in from the world, forsaking the attentions of all others in search for the Arkenstone™ amongst the gold horde of Thror, The Last King Under the Mountain. The Dragon-sickness has taken Thorin Oakenshield™ and he has changed beyond the recognition of his kin.

Nearby in the ruined Dale, City of Men, the survivors of Smaug’s fiery desolation of Lake-town take shelter, aided by the elves of Mirkwood. Both parties are owed riches by Thorin and they mean to leave with them by any means. But little do they know that two mighty armies of Orcs, Goblins, Trolls and worse, led by Azog™ the Defiler and his spawn, Bolg, move on The Lonely Mountain to destroy Thorin and take the gold for their own.

The lines of war have been drawn and the Battle of the Five Armies has begun. Now is the time to take your place in the saga of The Hobbit at the time of the most climactic conflict of the age. The fate of Middle-earth™ hangs in the balance; march now with your ally into the fires of war.
