•Galdor, Messenger of the Havens
Companion • Elf
Strength: 5

“‘And yet we see that Sauron can torture and destroy the very hills. What power still remains lies with us, here in Imladris, or with Cirdan at the Havens, or in Lórien. But have they the strength, have we here the strength to withstand the Enemy, the coming of Sauron at the last, when all else is overthrown?’”

•Golradir, Rivendell Councilor

Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Hunter 1. To play, spot an Elf.
Skirmish: Exert Golradir to make a minion skirmishing an Elf strength -­1 (or -2 if that minion is roaming).
Beside Glorfindel there were several other counsellors of Elrond’s household....

Anyways, this time we move back to Rivendell, and have a couple more "what-if" companions from the Council of Elrond. For each of them, I kept their abilities close to what their original versions did, because they were pretty cool abilities. Enjoy!

Nice. I think I’d leave his resistance as it is, though.

Good, but I don’t think the to play requirement is needed since his ability is useless if you don’t already have an elf anyway, so cutting that will make him more useful (ie starting fellowship, etc.)

Do you think I should make Gildor a companion? I was sure I wanted him to be an ally at first, but now I’m not so sure.
