Part 2/8:
Upon arriving at the Shire, Saruman assumes the alias of 'Sharky' and leads a destructive campaign against the region. This new chapter in his narrative culminates in what is called the Battle of Bywater, where the Hobbits, upon returning from their own perilous journey, rally against Saruman and his minions. Ultimately, the Hobbits face off against Saruman, resulting in his defeat. In a fitting twist of fate, it is Wormtongue, one of Saruman's followers, who ends his life in an act of betrayal.
