Legendary.
To play, spot 2 cards.
Plays to your support area.
Assignment: Assign a character (except the Ring-bearer) bearing a ring to another character (except the Ring-bearer). The Free Peoples player may add a burden to prevent this and assign those characters.
Response: If the Ring-bearer puts on The One Ring, discard this artifact to add a burden.
coolio! I would get rid of the first except the RB. if the freeps player wants to put rings on his RB,. make him pay for it IMSO. its culturally enforced, so they could still run em vs. other decks.

Would look naff on a card i reckon with all those bold words.

My main concern now is one you still haven’t addressed: potentially playing these on the Ring-bearer...especially with the latter one. No way you should be able to drop a permanent -2 resistance on the Ring-bearer for NO twilight whatsoever. Heck, as is, I’d throw this into ANY deck just for that purpose. You need to either exclude the Ring-bearer entirely or nerf that resistance when they do bear it. Just WAY too powerful in that regard otherwise.

• The Ancient Darkness
Condition • Support Area
Each time a character wins a skirmish, you may add a token here.
At the start of each skirmish involving a minion, you may remove a token from here to make that minion gain "Stalwart - exert a companion skirmishing this minion."
I am not quite sure about the mechanics of stalwart, but should it be each time they are assigned?

Ensnared
Condition
To play, spot a character.
Bearer must be a companion (except the Ring-bearer). This condition’s twilight cost is -1 for each artifact borne by this companion (or -3 if he or she bears a ring).
Bearer’s resistance is reduced to 0 and cannot be increased.
I think a tad too powerful. cut the cannot be increased

Bent Roads
Event • Regroup
Exert any number of characters with a combined site number of 12 or greater to replace a site on the site path with a site from your adventure deck, and add for each character exerted in this way.

Fair enough. I don’t like that limitation for flavour reasons, and also it’s perfectly fine for a Free Peoples card, but I can see that gamewise the exception clause needs to be there, unless you have a better way.

I haven’t made huge numbers of cards as yet, but here are some of them:

• The Ancient Darkness
Condition • Support Area
Each time a character wins a skirmish, you may add a token here.
At the start of each skirmish involving a minion, you may remove a token from here to make that minion gain "Stalwart - exert a companion skirmishing this minion."

Can’t remember how Stalwart works, but I think its prett cool as is. Nice for grind.

Ensnared
Condition
To play, spot a character.
Bearer must be a companion (except the Ring-bearer). This condition’s twilight cost is -1 for each artifact borne by this companion (or -3 if he or she bears a ring).
Bearer’s resistance is reduced to 0 and cannot be increased.

Res -6, IMO, is good. Can you imagine this with Cantea, Black Assassin?

And now for the mirror I promised in my FP thread from the culture (the lore and title are referring to the ruin of Numenor after which the world became round and only 1 road to Valinor remained):

Sounds like that Gollum event, like it.
