The Eye of Sauron is perhaps one of my favorite cards of this set. He works best with the  culture and will probably be spoiled with such. Speaking of which, one more vote for the culture and the fun begins!  |

It seems...too powerful, unless of course he is a rare. I’d give him 3 vitality, bump him up to 4 twilight and require two exertions.

I was staring horridly at this at first. Now I like it. the fact that the site is underground balances it out. GP!

Unusual, but I think good. Perhaps remove a couple tokens instead of twilight for the ability.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! They are most appreciated. All who have reviewed will receive a for their kind efforts to further this set.
I’ve made some alternations to Black Feather, as per suggestions. The spotting requirement of an token was dropped, as two archers should be adequate. Also, the ability has been changed from removing to removing 2 tokens, as it fits one of the themes that my culture contains...
Theme? Did someone say theme? Indeed I did! One of the main sub-strategies of the culture is cultural tokens, as this culture seemed to be abandoned in the token frenzy of Bloodlines. Perhaps it would be best to demonstrate this through today’s cards.

While you can spot 5 or more culture tokens, the minion archery total is +2 (or +3 if the fellowship is at an underground site).
----
 Archer’s Ledge
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, add an token here for each archer you can spot.
Response: If an archer is about to take a wound during the archery phase, remove two tokens from here to prevent that wound. The Free Peoples player may make the minion archery total +1 to prevent this.

 Whistling Arrows
Event • Archery
Exert an archer to make the Free Peoples choose 2 companions. Exert X other companions, where X is the number of archers you can spot.
