Realms of Middle-earth DC Lists

[DáinIronfoot]

To make things easier on all of us participating in Realms of Middle-earth, within this thread I will post DCs as created by the participants for their characters. Each character will first be listed with ALL gametext and stats afforded by their companion card and all cards they bear (and displaying the combined cost of all those cards), as well as support area cards that boost their abilities. Then, below that, will be the character followed by all artifacts, possessions, events, conditions, followers, etc. that companion's owner has created for them.

I'll also be doing these in order of culture and name rather than order of appearance, as before. Little easier to track that way, I hope.

So, that means we start with , then , then , etc.

So here we go....
