I’ll reserve judgment on this one since I’m not sure how powerful the whole stacking-minions-on-possessions theme is yet.
Setting that issue aside for the moment, this could be a cool weapon for use with lurkers or other cards that demand for skirmishes to be resolved in a certain order. Otherwise, Free Peoples players take note: the bearer of Primitive Brand fights last! 
Rules question: Do you have to pay a twilight for the transfer?  |

Do you have to add a twilight when you use hemmed in?
This is a cool possession! I mean, I run lurkers that pile up strength (rampaging easterling), so you can like win a bunch of skirmishes then transfer the possession to a lurker, ensuring it gets at least two uses. |

Ooh, there are some interesting things you can do with this. Since you get to choose which  minion gets stacked, you could:
A) Do the obvious, and stack the minion that just won his skirmish.
B) Stack someone who is going to lose his skirmish, especially if that minion is fighting someone with a Dwarven Axe (or anything else that triggers when that companions wins the skirmish!).
C) Say an exhausted 4 vitality minion and a 1 vitality minion are skirmishing Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien. Eowyn can exert to make you place 3 wounds on your minions (which would kill everyone), so what you do is stack the exhausted minion before Eowyn’s skirmish, so that her ability if nullified. |

| Although B and C depend on the Freeps player resolving those skirmishes last...I wouldn’t rely on those so much. |

| Although I’m sure the Freeps player would be very careful about where they assign those lurkers... |

| I love it when I swarm people, and their dumb enough to assign a rampaging easterling on frodo instead of another minon. He looks easy enough, but with Column of Easterlings, and assuming you win a skirmish or two, and with the new primitive brand... |

Although this card is made in a straight-forward manner for the ceremonial armor-(event which plays minions stacked) combo, i have thought another use for it with my wicked mind. Many times i have found myself wishing i had a possession on Ferny after having played him from the discard pile with the new easterlings. It was impossible. Now it isn’t!!!  |

Yes you do.

Yes you do. From the rulebook:
Transferring a card is not playing that card, even though you must pay its twilight cost. So the free peoples player DOES add twilight. Same happens with strange looking men and similar cards. |

| So strange looking men makes the freeps player add twilight? Sweet. This possession is quite good. Shuffle it between your minions, especially in a lurker deck stacking the winners for use next run with pandemonium |
