No legendarium de J. R. R. Tolkien, o Abismo de Helmo é un grande val ficticio situado na parte noroccidental das Ered Nimrais (Montañas Brancas), no continente da Terra Media. A fortaleza ubicada nel adquire un especial potagonismo no segundo volume d' O señor dos aneis: As dúas torres.

Descrición do val e da fortaleza

O val decorría entre o espazo formado pola serie de outeiros chamada Helm's Dike, e ao fondo atopábase a fortaleza de Aglarond, tamén chamada Cornoburgo, fronte á entrada ás Cavernas Escintilantes.

Unha rampa elevada e tortuosa levaba até a grande porta principal da fortaleza. A torre da homenaxe albergaba as cortes e mais a armaría, así como un grande salón na parte traseira, escavado na faldra da montaña. Había tamén unha grande torre (o Cornoburgo) cuxa parte superior consistía no grande corno de Helmo Man de Martelo. O abismo que xacía a carón da fortaleza ficaba obstruído polo longo Deeping Wall, formado por rocha sólida agás por un pequeno sumidoiro que deixaba entrar agua desde o Deeping Stream; isto permitía contar cun suministro constante en caso de asedios longos. The Deeping Wall itself stood 20 feet tall; it was wide enough for four men to stand side by side. Access to the fortress from within the Deep was made possible by a long stair which led to the Hornburg's rear gate.

During the war with the Dunlendings under Wulf, the Rohirrim under King Helm Hammerhand and many of his people sought refuge in the keep, where they held out during the winter of Modelo:ME-date.

Originally the valley was home to a small Gondorian regiment, but after Calenardhon became Rohan it became an encampment of the Rohirrim, where the guards of the Fords of Isen lived.

During the War of the Ring the fortress guarding Helm's Deep again became the refuge of some of the Rohirrim, now under King Théoden, and the Battle of the Hornburg was fought there.

It was said in a myth that Helm's Deep would never fall while men defended it. No enemy had ever breached the Deeping wall, or set foot inside the Hornburg, but in the year Modelo:ME-date, during the War of the Ring, Saruman's army of Uruk-hai managed to almost overwhelm the defences of the Rohirrim. This was achieved by the orcs using an explosive blast of fire within the culvert which when detonated, destroyed the main defences. The origin of this explosion is unclear and Tolkien denotes it as "Saruman's devilry." In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy this weapon is depicted as gunpowder. The keep itself, built into the mountainside, resembles a World War 1 bunker.

The fortress was featured as a scenario board in the Lord of the Rings board game.

Aglarond

Aglarond and Angrenost (later Isengard) were the two fortresses built by Gondor guarding the Fords of Isen. Like Angrenost to the north it was initially well guarded, but as the population of Calenardhon (the later Rohan) dwindled it was not maintained and, losing importance, was left to a hereditary small guard who intermarried with Dunlendings.

When Cirion, Steward of Gondor, gave Calenardhon to the Éothéod, Aglarond was transferred into Rohirric care, who named it Súthburg (southern burg in their language). The Gondorian guard was merged with that of Angrenost to the north, which remained in the keep of Gondor. Guard duty of the Fords was initially shared between Gondor and Rohan, but later maintained only by the Rohirrim.

During the reign of Helm Hammerhand, Rohan was attacked by Dunlendings from across the river Isen. Edoras was taken, and Helm and many of his people retreated to Súthburg. Because Helm always blew a great horn before riding out to fight the beleaguering Dunlendings, the keep was renamed Hornburg. During the War of the Ring, the Hornburg was the refuge of the Rohirrim as they defended Helm's Deep.

After the war, Gimli the Dwarf, who fought in that battle, established a colony of Durin's folk there. Aglarond lay in front of a huge and very beautiful cave system, which proved irresistible to him. Gimli became known as 'the Lord of the Glittering Caves', although this new realm was presumably under the overlordship of Thorin Stonehelm, his kinsman and heir of the lordship of all Durin's Folk. The dwarves of Aglarond restored the Hornburg following the War of the Ring, and it became a fortress they shared with the Rohirrim.
