Dáin’s DC Duos #146
We’re starting to move away from the strong ties with the  culture a bit, but that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty of good  stuff left. Like these guys.  One is from Tolkien’s mind, one is from MY mind. I bet you can figure out which is which.  Enjoy!
 •Amdír, King of Lórien
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Amdír may be spotted as an ally whose home is site 3 [FotR] or 3 [LA].
Fellowship: Exert 2 Elf companions to play an ally whose home is any site 3 from your draw deck. Limit once per turn (unless you exerted Amdír in this way).
“Amdír obeyed the summons of Gil-galad and brought as large a force as he could muster to the Last Alliance....”
•Calendeloth, Noldor Swordsman
Companion • Elf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Calendeloth is strength +1 for each of the following that is true: he bears a weapon, he is at a battleground, he is skirmishing an Orc.
The Elves of Gil-galad’s army stood tall in battle, wielding their swords in destructive arcs rather than in the frenetic chopping motions of the Orcs they battled with time and again. |

Huh? Interesting....very weird. A companion and an ally?

Thanks for the reviews, guys! Glad you like them...even if Amdír is a bit weird.
Dáin’s DC Duos #147
Last couple companions, at least among the Noldor. Enjoy!
Noldor Bowman
Companion • Elf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
While this companion is an archer, he is strength +1 and gains hunter 1.
Elven archers have been feared by Sauron’s armies through many ages.
Noldor Warrior
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Hunter 1. Defender +1.
Despite being outnumbered, even with their Númenórean allies, Elven warriors on the Dagorlad were responsible for many more Orkish deaths than they allowed among their own ranks.
Also, since I’m not sure when else I’m going to post it, we have an old stand-by:
 Elven Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Bearer must be an Elf.
Bearer is an archer.
“Upon all that plain the Elves of Nargothrond kept unceasing watch...and through all its woods and fields archers ranged secretly and with great craft. Their arrows were sure and deadly, and nothing crept there against their will.” |

i like where you are going, but i’m pretty much against elves getting defender +1 being anywhere in an elf’s game-text. currently, "defender +" occurs nowhere in the elven culture. so if you are going to start, (which i’m not sure is a good idea since they have everything else, healing, burden/condition removal, site liberation, even a couple damage +1.) shouldn’t be in game-text it should be in events or something.

And a very good thought, at that.
I know that, right now, Elves have no defender bonuses at all. I don’t intend to go crazy and make several companions like this; other than MAYBE a single version of Legolas or something, this would be the only Elf I’d have even capable of getting a defender bonus on his own. I DO have plans for just a couple cards that allow Elves to get defender +1 (maybe, like, two cards in total), as I think they could use SOMETHING in that department, so there will be a very small "theme" there, I s’pose.
So, I appreciate what you’re saying, but since there’s a small theme around it now, and since I personally think it adds a nice touch, and since two other people like it, I think I’ll leave him as is. But a  for trying to keep me from going nuts and do something really stupid.
One last thing: if YOU were to write the card, what do you think you would have done with him? I’m not completely opposed to changing him if you can give me a good suggestion. |

Dáin’s DC Duos #148
Well now we’re really going to start moving away from Last Alliance stuff, but we’re far from finished with the culture. For example, we haven’t even gotten to a certain shipwright...until now. Enjoy!
 •Círdan, Keeper of the Grey Havens
Ally • Elf
Strength: 7
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 8
To play, spot 2 Elves (or an companion).
Fellowship: Exert Círdan to make each Elf whose twilight cost is 3 or above strength +1 until the regroup phase.
Maneuver or Regroup: Exert Círdan twice to take an event into hand from your discard pile.
“‘But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores, guarding the Havens until the last ship sails.’”
An ally with resistance? Why not?  I’ve posted allies with signets, and people didn’t seem to have a problem with that. (Now you watch...everyone that reviews will tell me both are a horrible idea. )
 Narya, Ruby Ring
Artifact • Ring
Vitality +1
Bearer must be Círdan or Gandalf.
If bearer is Círdan, at the start of each turn, heal an Elf (or heal Círdan twice).
Maneuver: Exert bearer twice to heal each other exhausted companion and ally (twice if that character has the Gandalf signet). Discard this artifact.
Skirmish: If bearer is Gandalf, exert him twice to play a  spell from your draw deck.
“‘Great labours and perils lie before you, and lest your task prove too great and wearisome, take this Ring for your aid and comfort....’” |
