make ancient ax unique IMHO

Let’s have some more cards on this artifact theme:

Singed Beards
Condition • Support Area
Each time a Dwarf bearing an artifact is about to take a wound, you may add a burden or a threat to prevent it.
Discard this condition at the start of the regroup phase if you can spot more threats than sites on the site path.
’When I asked how they had got away, they told me to hold my tongue...’
H3 U 23
cool!

• Last of the Seven
Condition • Support Area
Tale.
Locked: Each Dwarf bearing a ring is damage +1.
Fellowship or Regroup: Play a artifact from your discard pile. Discard this condition.
’And he said that he had possessed a Great Ring. Nearly all his ravings were of that.’
H3 R 14
cool!

Kingdom Restored
Event • Regroup
Exert a Dwarf and a Man both with resistance 4 or more.
If both bear a follower, discard a possession or artifact.
If both bear a possession, discard a minion.
If both bear an artifact, discard a Shadow card.
’Then the prophecies of the old songs have turned out to be true, after a fashion...’

Very powerful after about site 5 this will stay on the table and be a bit good. Id pick either threat or burden not both otherwise its too versatile.

Good to have such an non-controversial batch once in while!

This lot might be a bit more so though:

Return At Last
Event • Maneuver
Spot a Dwarf, a Man and X threats to draw up to X cards.
Some of the more foolish ran out of the hut as if they expected the Mountain to go golden in the night...
H3 C 20
cut cost to 1

Quite Recovered
Event • Fellowship
Spot 2 unique Dwarves and add a threat to draw a card. The drawn card does not count towards the Rule of Four.
... Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin and Gloin were waterlogged and seemed only half alive, they had to be carried one by one and laid helpless on the shore.
H3 U 19
NOW this is controversial. I say no messing with rules, but since its benefits are minor get several other opinions

• Ancient Houses
Condition • Support Area
Tale.
While you can spot 3 unique Dwarves and 5 threats, the first card you draw each fellowship phase does not count towards the Rule of Four.
’It had been discovered by mu far ancestor, Thrain the Old...’

Hmmm its balanced but relatively useless. Despite it being ok, im with SoP, try not to smeg with the rules too much.
