 | | TheOneRing.Net and other Web sites are reporting that Bruce Hopkins, one of New Zealand's most active actors, has been cast as Gamling the Old, the Captain of Westfold (the officer Erkenbrand left in charge of the Hornburg). |
 | | Gamling is in charge of the undermanned fortress, the Hornburg, when Theoden arrives with more than 1,000 Riders of Rohan, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. |
 | | Erkenbrand, the Lord of Westfold, had led the Westfold's militia out to reinforce the Muster of the West-march (formerly commanded by Theoden's son Theodred, but he was slain in the first battle of the Fords of Isen). |
