Will you stand with the Free Peoples, battling against the growing shadow, or embrace the darkness and seize power for yourself?

The fate of Middle-earth is not yet written—will you be its savior or its doom?

Description

Old Man Willow is a mighty and twisted willow tree, deeply entwined with the Old Forest's essence. He embodies the wrath and malevolence of the woodland, serving as a living barrier against any who would dare trespass. Supposedly a Huorn or an Ent transformed by time and darkness, he possesses ancient knowledge and significant power over the forest paths. Few are able to resist his dark allure, and he casts spells that induce a deep, unnatural sleep in those unwise enough to approach him. Despite his power, Tom Bombadil, who calls him Old grey Willow-man, has power over him, and checks the evil as much as he can, or is willing.
