Good job with Alcarin, but apart from the hunter thing, I feel that Turgon is a bit long-winded and too much like the Boromir Knight. Something different would be refreshing.

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.
cool! maybe or heal alcarin

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.

Still gotta figure out exactly what to do with the surprisingly-controversial Turgon, but until then, I have some new cards for the first time in nearly two weeks! Uncle Dáin is back, boys and girls, and he’s brought a couple powerful knights with him. Enjoy!

While you can spot 3 fortifications (or 2 unique fortifications), this companion is defender +1.
Many of the knights that retook Osgiliath had never set foot in the ruined city before, but still defended it as if it were their very home.

Possibly too good for a non-unique companion to have a blanket defender bonus, especially as he has no cultural enforcement whatsoever. Perhaps it should trigger for spotting 3 fortifications or spot a knight to play and/or be unique.

Yeah, very good call.  I’ll go with the fortification-spotting. |

Bah. You could give him a base 6 strength, if you wanted. Right now there’s really little reason to use him, unless you absolutely HAVE to have 9 companions in your knight deck, for some reason. |

Alright, I raised the strength of the soldier to 6. Thanks, all!
I’ve been teasing lots of fortification stuff, so let’s get to some actual fortifications, eh? These are all directly inspired by (or direct copies of  ) fortifications found back in the Tower block, the only ones that have actually been rotated out of Standard. So these bring the old-school fortifications back into the mix. Enjoy!
 City Wall (reprint)
Condition • Support Area
Strength -3
Fortification.
Skirmish: Exert a Man or spot 3 knights to transfer this condition from your support area to a minion skirmishing a Man.
The war-weary defenses of Osgiliath still protected the Men of Gondor.
Battlements of Osgiliath
Condition • Support Area
Strength -1
Vitality -2
Fortification.
Skirmish: Exert a knight to transfer this condition to a minion skirmishing that knight.
“‘O proud walls! White towers!’”
•Dome of Stars
Condition • Support Area
Vitality -1
Fortification.
Bearer is strength -1 for each artifact you can spot.
Skirmish: Exert a Man or spot 3 knights to transfer this condition from your support area to a minion skirmishing a Man.
Regroup: Discard a artifact in your support area to play this condition from your discard pile.
“‘They set up Stones at Minas Anor, and at Minas Ithil, and at Orthanc in the ring of Isengard. The chief and master of these was under the Dome of Stars at Osgiliath....’” |

Id give it a way of returning from a minion but its not necessary. Depends on how easy you have artifatcs in your support area. Looks fine otherwise.
