I understand why you changed it to , but I think the first ability has to be , even if it means making the second ability slightly better.

Hmmm. What if the second ability spotted 2 Elves instead?
EDIT: Oh, duh. I can just make the first ability add as part of the cost. That would work, right? |

Done. Thanks!
Here’s a whole slew of cards, but don’t worry...you don’t have to revie them all. Several of these are reprints of earlier Decipher cards which I think really fit with my new cards (same as I did for other cultures like and ). There’s some new ones below them, though, so just scroll down.
Arwen’s Fate (reprint)
Event • Skirmish
Tale.
Exert Arwen to make Aragorn strength +3, or exert Aragorn to make Arwen strength +3.
“‘I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.’”
The original was culture and was not a tale, so this is not a TRUE reprint, but close enough.
•The Choice of Luthien (reprint)
Condition • Support Area
Tale.
Maneuver: Exert Arwen to heal Aragorn, or exert Aragorn to heal Arwen.
“‘...after a brief time walking alive once more in the green woods, together they passed, long ago, beyond the confines of this world. So it is that Lúthien Tinúviel alone of the Elf-kindred has died indeed and left the world, and they have lost her whom they most loved.’”
The original, once again, was culture, but the tale part is not new this time.
Voice of Nimrodel (reprint)
Event • Skirmish
Tale.
Exert an Elf at a river or forest to cancel a skirmish involving that Elf.
“‘Where now she wanders none can tell, / In sunlight or in shade; / For lost of yore was Nimrodel / And in the mountains strayed.’”
I liked this one so much, I made a closely-related new card (below).
For those of you scrolling for new stuff, here’s where to start. Enjoy!
Song of Elbereth
Event • Skirmish
Tale.
Exert an Elf at a dwelling or sanctuary to cancel a skirmish involving that Elf.
“‘A Elbereth Gilthoniel, / silivren penna míriel / o menel aglar elenath! / Na-chaered palan-díriel / o galadhremmin ennorath, / Fanuilos, le linnathon / nef aear, sí nef aearon!’”
•The Tower Hills
Condition • Support Area
Tale. When you play this condition, add an token here for each tale you can spot (including this condition).
Each time you play a or tale, you may remove a token from here to remove (or remove 2 tokens from here to remove a burden).
“‘For the Elves of the High Kindred had not yet forsaken Middle-earth, and they dwelt still at that time at the Grey Havens away to the west, and in other places within reach of the Shire.’” |

Good reprints, but I’d prefer some different lore texts like I got you to do last time!

Very nice.

I’d probably just ignore the including this condition bit as it doesn’t change the card that much and currently is just bogging it down with unnecessary text. Tales have always been rainbow, and I’d be tempted to ignore the cultures on the second ability, but I’m not sure if that might be too powerful.

Added new lore to the reprints.
Any more reviews? Pretty please?  |

Nice to see it back in the Elven culture.

I always thought of this card as an odd one out. I’m still not sure about it.

Cool! Love it that you can choose how many tokens you remove. Some burden removal is nice to see. |

Great. Thanks, all.
Here’s a couple cards related to tales, including a companion that I’m surprised Decipher never made...he’s named in The Fellowship of the Ring, but strangely, Decipher chose to name nameless Elves and ignored this poor guy! Now, he finally gets his due. Enjoy!
•Hall of Fire
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 2 Elves.
The twilight cost of each tale is -1 (to a minimum of 1).
Fellowship: Discard this condition and X tales to heal X companions.
“‘Here you will hear many songs and tales-if you can keep awake....There is always a fire here, all the year round, but there is little other light.’”
•Lindir, Orator
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
To play, spot an Elf or a Hobbit.
Fellowship: Exert Lindir to take a tale or riddle into hand from your discard pile.
“‘You know you are never tired of reciting your own verses. But really we cannot answer your question at one hearing!’” |

Nice card for a nice place.

I think I’d leave his subtitle as ’Orator’, and it makes no sense background-wise that an Elf should require a Hobbit to play. Great, but I’d take out the hobbit bit and probably increase his resistance to 7 or 8.
