Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Back to the theme of this set is perhaps the most powerful culture in this set along with  .
Starting with the Rings
 •Ring of Cruelty 
Artifact • Ring
Strength: +1
Bearer must be a Nazgul.
Response: If bearer wins a skirmish, exert him to transfer a condition from your support area to the ring-bearer, if the ring-bearer is an eligible bearer.
Response: If the Free Peoples player reconciles, return bearer to his owner’s hand.
00R190
•Ring of Treachery
Artifact • Ring
Vitality: +1
Bearer must be a Nazgul.
Skirmish: Discard this artifact to cancel a skirmish involving this Nazgul and assign him to skirmish an unbound companion.
Response: If the Free Peoples player reconciles, return bearer to his owner’s hand.
00R191
•Ring of Despair
Artifact • Ring
Strength: +1
Vitality: -1
Bearer must be a Nazgul.
Each time bearer exerts, add a burden unless the Free Peoples player discards a card of the ring-bearer’s culture from hand or from play.
Response: If the Free Peoples player reconciles, return bearer to his owner’s hand.
00R+192
•Ring of Enslavement
Artifact • Ring
Bearer must be a Nazgul. Bearer gains captain 2.
Maneuver: Exert bearer twice to spot a companion. That companion may not be assigned to a skirmish until the regroup phase.
Response: If the Free Peoples player reconciles, return bearer to his owner’s hand.
00R+193
What do you all think of the Ring of Despair? I think that it would be hard to pull off an infinite loop with Ring of Rancor + Shotgun Enquea, but possible if you get enough burdens and the free peoples can’t stop it. |

I think it needs to be made clear somehow that only conditions that can normally be transferred be eligible. Not sure how to do that, though....

Perhaps limit it to assigning to unassigned unbound companions. Otherwise this would be a true killer.

Recommended rewording: Each time bearer exerts, add a burden. The Free Peoples player may discard a card of the Ring-bearer’s culture from hand or from play to prevent this.

Nope. Rulebook says that actions that assign minions can only be used to assign to unassigned companions. So it works.

Ah, now we get to the meat of it: the ’Gul themslves. 
"King" should always be lowercased for the Witch-king. I like him otherwise, those. Very useful in any Nazzie-centered Shadow deck, as he spreads the strength boosts around.

VERY harsh. I’d go with either a lower resistance (like 3 or even 2) or at least require spotting another ’Gul or two.

| On Cantea, I don’t think so. On Ulaire Cantea, Black Assassin, he brutally enforces the rule of 5. Especially comboed with Return to Its Master. Same with Shotgun Enquea. Southron Archer Legion, Shingle in a Storm, Greed, all these cards efficiently and brutally enforce the rule of 5. With the two most popular rule of 5 enforcing Nazgul providing instant death to a companion or two, I think that the ring-bearer taking a resistance -2 hit would be a good reminder not to break the rule of 5. Especially with that one wraith and a few burdens. |
