While the fellowship is at a forest and you can spot another ranger, Glorfindel’s twilight cost is -2.
Response: If a minion wins a skirmish at a forest, river, or sanctuary, exert Glorfindel to wound that minion (twice if it is a Nazgûl or roaming minion).

Interesting... but I like it.

Bearer must be Glorfindel or Arwen.
If you can spot a mounted Nazgûl, the move limit is +1.
“‘His pace is light and smooth; and if danger presses too near, he will bear you away with a speed that even the black steeds of the enemy cannot rival.’”


I wouldn’t use it much, really. Most other Asfaloths give a better strength boost, and have a better effect. This is very meta-specific. Maybe do it like this:

2Asfaloth, Gleaming in the Shadows Elven
Possession • Mount
Strength +1
Resistance +1
Bearer must be Glorfindel or Arwen.
At the start of the fellowship phase, if the fellowship is at a forest site, the move limit for this turn is +1.
Skirmish: If bearer is skirmishing a Wraith or mounted minion, exert bearer to make that minion strength -2.
“‘His pace is light and smooth; and if danger presses too near, he will bear you away with a speed that even the black steeds of the enemy cannot rival.’”

I don’t know, just toy around with some of those ideas. It just seems a bit weak as is.

I would raise Asfaloth’s strength bonus to +2, but the Glorfindel is awesome!

And if you do ever make your own cards for a living, PLEASE give him a better pic than the T&D one. Actually, in the case of T&D one, it’s an IT, not a HE. Or maybe a THING. Razz

Okay, I made some changes to Asfaloth. It’s CLOSE to what EL suggested, but a little different. Lemme know what you think about it.

Oh, and about these. Very Happy We’ve had Elrond, and we’ve had Glorfindel, so lets do an Elf that has ties to each...and a couple possessions. Enjoy!

2Arwen, Lady of Rivendell Elven
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Signet: Elrond
At the end of each assignment phase, if Arwen is not assigned to a skirmish, you may heal Aragorn or an Elf.
While the fellowship is at a forest or dwelling site, each minion skirmishing Arwen is strength -1 (or -2 if that site is a sanctuary).
“So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen; Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Lúthien had come on earth again; and she was called Undómiel, for she was the Evenstar of her people.”

2Arwen, Noble Maiden Elven
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Signet: Frodo
Ranger.
When you play Arwen, you may play an Elven possession or Elven artifact on her from your draw deck.
While Arwen is mounted, each minion skirmishing her is strength -2.
“‘If you want him, come and claim him!’”

2Hadafang, Throng Cleaver Elven
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Vitalty +1
Bearer must be Elrond or Arwen.
Skirmish: Exert bearer to make each Orc and Nazgûl skirmishing bearer strength -1.
“Aen estar Hadhafang I chatholhen, thand around dan I thang an I arwen.”

0Vilya, Ring of Sapphire Elven
Artifact • Ring
Vitality +1
Bearer must be Elrond.
Each time the fellowship moves to a dwelling or sanctuary, you may exert Elrond and discard a card from hand to remove a burden or a threat.
Maneuver: Place an Elven card from hand on top of your draw deck and add (X) to heal X Elf allies whose home is any site 3. Discard this artifact.

cool, i like this one.

Arwen is strength +1 for each Nazgûl in her skirmish (or +2 if that Nazgûl is fierce).

i’m not a big fan of this one. there is already a nazzy-hate strength arwen ranger. granted this is slightly different, but i’d take out the bit about arwen’s strength while skirmishing nazgul. really, i’d like to see "when you play Arwen, you may play a hand weapon on her from your draw deck." that seems to fit Noble maiden better. and keep the bit about when she’s mounted. that’s my thoughts.

2Hadafang, Throng Cleaver Elven
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Vitalty +1
Bearer must be Elrond or Arwen.
Skirmish: Exert bearer to make each Orc and Nazgûl skirmishing bearer strength -1.

i don’t like the "throng cleaver" part. i read it wrong... i was like "oh, there is an ’r’ in that ’throng’" but other than that it’s cool.

Very interesting. I wouldn’t end up assigning her very much.

Sweet! I’d totally use this one.

Weird. A lot different from the other one. I think the cost could be safe at 1, since the other costs 1, with strength +2 and a (IMO) better ability. But this one does add to vitality. I think it would balance well enough at 1.

I’d make the first ability only exerting once and discarding a card to remove a burden or a threat, just to make it more workable.

Nice one! I’ve used that lore text as well.

A bit too similar to 2 other Arwens, daughter of elrond and fair elf maiden. The mounted thing is cool though, I might leave it at that.

Awful subtitle! What’s wrong with Elven Blade or Sword of Elrond or something? Nice card, and with this Arwen’s anti nazgul thing becomes less important.

The first ability is too complicated - take out either the exertion or the discarding and then choose either a burden or a threat and it would still be worth it. Nice maneuver ability.

Made changes to all the cards except Hadafang. The reason that has the subtitle of "Throng Cleaver", by the way, is because that is the literal translation of "Hadhafang" (which is how it SHOULD be spelled, but since Decipher got it wrong.... Rolling Eyes), just as Glamdring is translated as "Foe-hammer" and Andúril translates as "Flame of the West".

Wikipedia wrote:
The sword’s name is derived from a Sindarin sword name devised by Tolkien, and means "throng-cleaver" (etymologies may be found in Tolkien’s The Lost Road.) The author never actually used this sword name in any of his stories.

The runes on Hadhafang (or Hadafang, as its referred to in LOTR TCG) say "This blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady."

So, anyway, I didn’t go nuts when I came up with the name. Blame it on Peter Jackson and, indirectly, J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Razz

How do the rest of the cards look now?

i will blame Tolkien. he not infallible, and that name is bad. that’s just the truth. it stinks. as for your card itself, that’s great.

It’s obviously one of those things that sounds a lot better in Elvish. Laughing

Cards look great, but if you meant for Arwen to play Elven artifacts on her you need to specify that with an extra culture symbol.

Time for Lothlórien, then! And who better to welcome you THERE than the Lady of the Golden Wood herself? Enjoy!

3Galadriel, Lady of Lórien Elven
Ally • Home 6 • Elf
Strength: 3
Vitality: 3
Signet: Aragorn
At the start of each turn, you may heal an Elven ally whose home is any site 6.
Each time a river or forest site is played, you may remove 2.
Each time you play an Elven possession or Elven artifact, you may exert Galadriel and spot another Elf to remove 1.
“‘I will not give you counsel, saying do this, or do that. For not in doing or contriving, nor in choosing between this course and another, can I avail; but only in knowing what was and is, and in part also what shall be.’”

3Galadriel, Grave and Beautiful Elven
Ally • Home 6 • Elf
Strength: 3
Vitality: 3
Signet: Frodo
To play, spot an Elf.
At the start of each turn, you may heal an Elf ally whose home is any site 6.
Fellowship: Exert Galadriel twice to play an Elven artifact from your draw deck or discard pile (or exert her once if that card is the Phial of Galadriel or The Mirror of Galadriel).
“‘In this phial is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out. Remember Galadriel and her Mirror!’”

And since I DO intend to get back to my set based around the game The Third Age one day, I decided to integrate some of the major characters from that story into my other sets where appropriate. Since Idrial is one of the Third Age characters actually based on a background actor/actress from the films, I figured that putting her in here would be okay. So here she is!

3Idrial, Servant of Galadriel Elven
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 4
Signet: Elrond
To play, spot an Elf. If that Elf is Galadriel, Idrial’s twilight cost is -1.
Each time the fellowship moves to a river, dwelling, or sanctuary, you may heal a companion.
“‘You are indeed high in the favour of the Lady!’”
