Tweaked both; the first exactly as recommended (I think), and the second by dropping the cost to  . I’d really prefer to keep it as an event, so hopefully this gives it a bit of an advantage over cards like Athelas and Invigorated.
As I mentioned in the Road Ahead  thread, I’m running on very little sleep today and am pretty slow in the head. But unlike , I fortunately DO have a new for  . Enjoy!

Nice card Dain but so specific you wouldnt use it. I like it because you can use it on site 1 and stop anyone ever taking it but it is limited.
I wouldnt scrap it as its sweet but it wouldnt see heavy use. |

I’d definitely go with something like that (maybe possessions or conditions or even machines) - as it is it would never be used.

Alright, after nearly a week of no replies, I’m back! 
I went ahead and added some engine/machine hate to Jewel of the Kingdom (as suggested). Now here are some familiar knights to use with it. Enjoy!
 •Alcarin, Soldier of Calembel
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Knight.
The twilight cost of each other knight in your starting fellowship is -1.
At the start of each skirmish involving Alcarin and a minion bearing a fortification, exert that minion.
One of the few warriors to make their way from Lamendon to Minas Tirith until the Battle on Pelennor, Alcarin quickly became one of Boromir’s most trusted warriors during the retaking of Osgiliath.
•Turgon, Warrior of Dor-en-Ernil
Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Knight. Hunter 1.
If you can spot a knight, Turgon’s twilight cost is -1.
Each time Turgon wins a skirmish involving a minion bearing a fortification, you may heal a knight.
Turgon proved an able soldier and leader of men while driving Sauron’s forces from Osgiliath.
These two are the only named knights to appear in the original Towers block, so I thought they deserved a revival here. I actually semi-swapped their original abilities: Alcarin used to heal when assigned to fortification-bearing minions, and Turgon used to be the one doing some direct wounding. I kept Alcarin’s original twilight reduction for other knights intact, because I really REALLY like it. As you can see, it pairs nicely with Turgon’s new twilight reduction text, enabling you to start them together if you want. |

Dunno if you should make knights hunters seems counter productive. Theyre more defenders than hunters. Drop cost to 2 and remove it. Sound.

Understood. I don’t intent to make it a big theme, but I wanted to have a small handful of hunter knights in this and especially the following set. Just a VERY small handful.
I’ll wait for another review or two before change it, but I’ve taken your thoughts under advisement.  |

Interesting... not sure if I like hunter on knights. is already good at having hunters, but those are limited to rangers. Just like you don’t give condition removal, don’t give knights hunter. At least, not on a base-stat scale. A card or companion to give a knight hunter (more than likely using fortifications as fuel) would be okay. Besides, knights don’t hunt anything, except maybe a good meal after a long seige. It’s an interesting idea, and unique (and everyone should know I’m all for odd uniqueness in DC sets) but you still shouldn’t break the culture rules.
Recap: Do something else with this guy, and make another card (condition, event, companion, doesn’t really matter) that can give hunter by using something as fuel, like fortifications.
But that’s just my two cents. By no means to you have to pay attention to a word I say. |
