The animated movie 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' centers on Héra, the daughter of Helm Hammerhand. While Éowyn states there are no records of Héra's heroism, the film's ending suggests a possible explanation: a meeting between Héra and Gandalf.
Warning! Spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim ahead! Éowyn states that there is no record of Héra 's story in The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim—so how does she know it then? One of the significant surprises of this animated Lord of the Rings movie is that rather than focusing on Helm Hammerhand, the Rohan king's daughter, Héra took center stage. In Tolkien 's works, Helm's daughter is an unnamed character and certainly isn't regarded as a heroic figure.
War of the Rohirrim expands on this woman's story, making her a forgotten hero solely responsible for saving her kingdom from the Dunlendings. Despite everything Héra did for Rohan, Éowyn explains at the film's beginning that there is no record of this heroic princess in the kingdom's texts or songs. This explains why Tolkien's works, which are approached as'found manuscripts' that the author is meant to have found and translated (rather than conceived himself), didn't even mention the daughter of Helm Hammerhand's name. While this provided War of the Rohirrim with some room to take creative liberties, it's unclear how Éowyn came to know of Héra's story. However, the ending of this Lord of the Rings movie may provide a clue. War Of The Rohirrim's Ending Reveals That Gandalf Met With Héra At the end of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, Héra sets out from Rohan to meet with a wizard called Gandalf. Of course, this is the very same Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, and he has taken an interest in Héra since she saw Orcs of Mordor searching for rings at Helm's Deep. Clearly, the wizard is interested in any news related to Sauron's search for his One Ring, but he surely would have been interested in more than just Héra's confrontation with the Orcs. Gandalf liked to know just about everything going on in Middle-earth, so he likely would have asked Héra to describe her full stor
