Okay, I’m back home for pretty much today, so it’s definitely time for another theme in this seriously dormant thread.
We all love artifacts (especially SoP) and what better place to restart than some seeing-stones. There are 2 FP palantiri that I’ve made and 2 Shadow (though 2 of them are actually the same one) so let’s start off with the FP.
 • Seeing-Stone of Orthanc, Dangerous Tool 
Artifact • Palantir
Bearer must be Aragorn or a Wizard.
Regroup: Add a burden to reveal the top 4 cards of your draw deck. Heal a companion for each Free Peoples card revealed. Add a threat for each Shadow card revealed. Place those cards at the bottom of your draw deck in any order.
’... I am the lawful master of the Stone, and I had both the right and the strength to use it, or so I judged.’
I wasn’t sure what culture that one should be. It could be but it could equally be  or even FP  . Which do you guys think is best?
• Seeing-Stone of Minas Anor, Dangerous Tool
Artifact • Palantir
Bearer must be Denethor.
Regroup: Add a threat to reveal the top 4 cards of an opponent’s draw deck. Wound a minion for each Shadow card revealed. Wound a companion for each Free Peoples card revealed. Replace them in the same order.
And as he held it up, it seemed to those that looked on that the globe began to glow with an inner flame...

No down side for revealing shadow cards? No limit, cos its killer at site 8? Cool otherwise.

Cool. But placing them the same is quite broke.

The reason I didn’t put in a penalty for revealing Shadow cards with the first one is because it’s not as dangerous as Denethor’s, and in fact Aragorn uses it for good in the Return of the King. Tell me if you still think I should change it, and I’ll be happy to.
I’ll also change round the second one. How is it now?

yes but he gets scared when it shows him arwen, and either the evenstar breaks or he sees a vision of it breaking. + it corrupted saruman.
I think the second one is fine being regroup. |

The evenstar thing was only in the film and I try to pay as little attention to it as possible when making cards, but I see your point. Consider it changed, and if you have a problem with it, feel free to shout about it.

I’m now back permanently, so let’s use this opportunity to continue my palantiri, this time going to Shadow cards.
• Palantir of Orthanc, Dangerous Tool
Artifact • Support Area
Palantir.
To play, spot Saruman (or exert 2 minions).
Shadow: Exert a minion twice (or exert Saruman) to reveal the top 4 cards of your draw deck. Add  for each Free Peoples card revealed. Wound a minion for each Shadow card revealed. Place those cards at the bottom of your draw deck in any order.
’Alas for Saruman! It was his downfall, as I now perceive.’
• Ithil Stone, In the Hands of the Enemy 
Artifact • Support Area
Palantir.
To play, spot 5 minions (or an unique minion).
Each companion bearing an artifact is resistance -1 (or -3 if they bear a palantir).
Regroup: Discard 3 minions to reveal the top 4 cards of your draw deck. Add a burden for each Shadow card revealed. Heal a companion for each Free Peoples card revealed. Place those cards beneath your draw deck in any order.
’The Noldor made them... But there is nothing that Sauron cannot turn to evil uses.’

Added lore on all 4 palantiri and added a disadvantage to the Palantir of Orthanc. Thanks guys.
Any other comments?
