Dathbrand Doomhelm, A man of Rohan, lead his man out on a night patrol outside of Edoras. Everything seemed good and clear, and with this Dathbrand took a moment to gaze into the night sky, He admired the Bright white hue of the stars above him. The wild and untamed blue and violet sky warmed his heart. He ordered his men to ride toward Edoras. Moments after giving the order, a shrieking howl traveled through the wind and upon their ears. That howl, unmistakably that of a warg, put him on edge. "WARGS!!!!!" he shouted. He saw wargs charging toward him. He spotted about 4, which would be a no issue for 8 Rohirrim to handle. "Men! Let's dispatch these beasts!" he said confidently. They charged toward the wargs. When they were about to collide, something tragic happened. a large volley of arrows greeted them, every man was struck including Dathbrand. 5 others were dead instantly. Dathbrand and his friends Eolas and Beohelm were dismounted by the arrow, and left for warg food.. Eolas was severely wounded with a shot to the neck and Beohelm wounded in the abdomen. Eolas was young, he was only 19. His lack of experience in combat leads to his downfall. He was ripped to shreds by 2 wargs. Beohelm and Dathbrand went back to back, Attempting to fight the wargs but Beohelm fell weak and succumbed to his injury. Now alone, Dathbrand must escape but he has 4 wargs around him and nothing but a sword, and a arrow in his chest near his shoulder. He whistles for his horse and draws his sword. He charges a warg and swings true, slitting the throat of a warg and stepping aside only to be greeted with a slash to his face. Dathbrand screams in agony as blood pours down his face. After this, the warg comes up to him as he tries to get up and steps on his back very hard. digging its claws into him. He crys out in horrific pain, he reaches for his sword, but it is out of reach. when he was about to accept his doom, His horse charges into the fight and tramples the warg on top of him, then proceded to pick up Dathbrand and get him to his feet. He quickly throws himself belly first over the steed and they retreat to Edoras with the wargs in pursuit. But when approaching the gate, the wargs were met with arrows and quickly slain.
The next day his captain Helmbrand came to visit him and see how he was healing. However, Heimbrand knew he would never be able to ride with the Rohirrim again, Relived Dathbrand of his duty. Dathbrand was hurt by this, but he knew it was for the best. He told Heimbrand "Well Heim, I always have wanted to explore the world and see new places." Giving a laugh of approval Heim replies, "I always hear that there are fine ladies in Bree in the far west!" Dathbrand nods, and falls asleep.
One week later Dathbrand is feeling at full again, he is ready to set off to Bree! He travels 10 days and nights and finally reaches the south gate. His time in Bree has only begun.
