He is great among the Wise. He is the chief of my order and the head of the Council. His knowledge is deep, but his pride has grown with it, and he takes ill any meddling.
Hands of the White Wizard contains six adventures for The One Ring™, the official tabletop roleplaying game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, in which the heroes are sent to serve – or watch – the White Wizard Saruman. The adventures take place from the year 2965 to the opening moves of the War of the Ring, and can be played individually, or as part of a larger tale.
For Saruman the White is the Lord of Isengard, a counsellor to kings, a master of Ring-lore, and the chief adversary of the Enemy. Great is his wisdom, yet greater still is his pride. The tale starts before his fall; the treason of Isengard has not begun. Perhaps Saruman’s doom is already written, or perhaps the heroes can change the ending and save the White Wizard from corruption. Saruman’s fate – and that of all Middle-earth – lies in their hands!
