I’m not sure on cost of Moria Gate... Would  work?
And Stonehelm and Oakenshield now has a use for Dwarves with normal hand weapons as well.
Guardian of Moria is limited, but slightly more powerful (as they can’t wound a companion more than once).
I did consider letting them choose the class of possession for Stonehelm and Oakenshield, but felt that it might be too strong (as it would come close to removing possession classes but still getting the bonuses for having them).
EDIT: For example, mount a shield, block with your weapon, attack with your cloak while wearing your mount as armor...
(Actually, I can see it - the shield like Legolas at Helm’s Deep, parrying as they slide down, in your mount’s corpse while using your cloak as a whip...) |
Our time here is ending...
What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome  ). |

And on the other side of the Dwarves, we have their mining. Maybe a bit too far, but they are good.
First is those that are the ones that work in the mines:
Moria Miner
Minion • Dwarf
4 Strength
2 Vitality
5 Home Site
Damage +1.
Shadow: Discard this minion to draw a card.
DC45
He is a Dwarf, and will do damage if he wins skirmishes, but he can also go to work mining to get you more resources. It’s a fairly simple card, I think.
Chiseling
Condition • Support Area
Each time you reconcile, you may remove 3 tokens from this card to draw a card.
Maneuver: Make a minion damage -X (to a minimum of 0) until the end of the turn to put X tokens on this card.
DU29
The Dwarves work at chipping away the rock to find the things to support you, the player. They take their ferocity and turn it into time taken. With enough work, they can provide both for themselves and your fellowship (even more so with working in many areas of the mine). Of course, their goal...
Mine of Mithril
Condition • Support Area
Shadow: Remove 3 tokens from this card or discard this condition to draw a card.
Regroup: Exert your Dwarf to place a token on this card.
DU43
Yes, once they get to the Mithril, they can spend much less time mining for the same amount of material. Once again, you can have multiple areas of Mithril, although it just allows you to have a back-up source of revenue when the first runs out (gets discarded). Then again, occassionally the miners will find...
Hidden Mines
Event • Shadow
Exert a Dwarf to add for each token you spot (limit  ). If that Dwarf is damage +2, search your discard pile for a card and take it into hand.
DC41
Every so often, a Dwarf will stumble into an open area with a variety of things inside. But if they have unusual strength or materials, it can open a wider hole and find things to replace their expended resources. |

I think it’s too expensive. Reduce the number of tokens to draw that card, in my opinion.

I think it balances out because of the cost and the relative difficulty in being damage +2 in the Shadow phase.
However, if I make suggest something:
Hidden Mines
Event • Shadow
Exert a Dwarf to add for each token you can spot (limit ). Then you may remove 2 tokens to search your discard pile for a card and take it into hand.
Doesn’t have to be just like that, but I think tying this in to those tokens would be a very nice touch. |

I’m pretty sure saying damage +2 will include those above it, as damage +1 includes +2 or higher.
And of course, the Dwarves have a natural skill against the goblins. Today will feature those that have abilities towards that end...
Dwarven Axewielder
Minion • Dwarf
6 Strength
2 Vitality
5 Site Number
While skirmishing an Orc, this minion is damage +1.
DC31
A very simple minion, this dwarf is the generic 2 cost, that is a rarity among Dwarves for not having a damage bonus normally. His partner however:
Warrior of Erebor
Minion • Dwarf
5 Strength
2 Vitality
5 Site Number
Damage +1.
While skirmishing a  Orc, this minion is strength +2.
DC51
Against , the Warrior is better, while against other Orcs, the Axewielder is better by the same amount.
Open Fields
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Dwarf.
While you can spot more companions than minions, each Dwarf is strength +3.
Discard this condition at the end of the turn.
DU47
When making the card, I originally had this as an event with the same effect, but figured this would make more sense. This is showing the Dwarves skill at battle, cleaving through the opponent. It’s also possible to play with a swarm, giving your Dwarves a boost when their numbers drop lower than the number of companions.
Mountain-home
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Dwarf. At the end of your Shadow phase, exert a Dwarf or discard this condition.
Each Dwarf’s twilight cost is -1.
Each Dwarf skirmishing a companion is strength +1.
Each minion skirmishing a companion with the Balrog signet is strength +1.
DR46
Bringing back a  ability that I found a good limiting device. I’ve considered making this unique, because of the twilight reduction, but the fact that you still have to exert a Dwarf for each copy or it’s lost. And the strength boosts are, of course, much more common against Moria. |

Seems costed a little too low, especially since it’s non-unique. Maybe ? Or add some other cost to play, like removing a burden or threat. Ooo, or spotting a Dwarf or two. That would be good since it has that twilight cost reduction...which Dwarves do you play before and which ones do you wait to play after?
Balrog signet?  Cool. |
