I do like the synergy with artifacts, but do you need the limit as there’s already the rule of 4? Unless you’re planning on playing it in other phases...
Burden removal is not one of the dwarven strengths, but it’s interesting.
I’d be tempted to put a massive drawback on the arkenstone - after all, it does make Thorin nearly go crazy and throw Bilbo off the top of the Lonely Mountain! - though 4 cost could be drawback enough.

Good stuff. I like how you have to add loads to play and use it, but can take some away later at a cost.

I highly doubt that would all fit on one card, but I can hardly complain. You DO need an "a" nefore Dwarf in the second ability, but otherwise this is just plain awesome!

when I’m able to award it.
