Before the War of the Ring, Sauron tried to bend the will of the Free Peoples' kings and rulers through subtle intrigues. His goal was to turn them into powerless puppets or at least weaken them in preparation for his conquest plans. When the war broke out, they fought bravely against the Dark Lord, but for some of them, the weakness Sauron had nurtured proved almost fatal.

The role of the rulers of the Free Peoples and their weaknesses is the focus of "Kings of Middle-earth," the third expansion for War of the Ring. Their role in the story has been significantly expanded with new figures and rules that bring to life Théoden, Denethor, Dáin, Brand, and Thranduil. In addition, further rules for siege battles are included, including siege engine figures, as well as new units to expand the Armies of the Shadow.
