’That knight’ could easily be replaced with ’him’. Other than that the strength bonus is totally irrelevant: the only way you’ll be willing to exert a guy to transfer it is if it kills the minion outright.

“‘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....’”
I would remove the vitality reduction for a similar reason as above and then reduce the cost, add a base strength reduction or make the third ability discard any artifact.

Nice. Like stone tower, eh?
However, the title isn’t too hot. make it "Battlements" at least, and then you could even throw on a tacky adjective like "Gondorian" to spice things up a bit.
Or you could name it White Tower. Or something that has more reference to the lore. I don’t know.

This is nice. A recurring fortification, but unless you pull more artifacts, it gets weaker every time. Love it. |

Okay, now it’s time to start shifting towards rangers, the other big chunk of in this set. (Probably the biggest chunk, unsurprisingly.) What better way to ease our way in than with some more fortifications?  Enjoy!
 Archers of Ithilien
Condition • Support Area
Strength -2
Vitality -1
Site Number +1
Fortification. This condition is twilight cost -1 for each ranger you can spot.
Archery: Exert a ranger or knight to transfer this condition from your support area to an unwounded minion.
The arrival of Faramir’s company of rangers afforded the Gondorian soldiers a newfound hope, even after the arrival of the Nazgûl.
Ruined Wall
Condition • Support Area
Strength -1
Site Number +2
Fortification.
Maneuver: Exert a Man or spot 2 rangers to transfer this condition from your support area to a minion.
Used to hiding in whatever cover they could find, the rangers of Ithilien were adept at turning even the most battered ruins as an effective defensive position.
Soldier’s Cache (reprint)
Condition • Support Area
Site +3
Fortification.
At the start of your maneuver phase, you may exert a Man or spot 3 rangers to transfer this condition to a minion. Wound that minion.
Regroup: Exert a ranger to reinforce a token.
“‘This great array of spears and swords is going to Osgiliath.’”
I simply HAD to include the Cache again, thanks mostly to the lore. 
Now, just as we started off the knights with one of the steward’s sons, we’ll REALLY kick off the rangers (and, as you’ll see, the return of Ring-bound Men  ) with the other!
•Faramir, Tall and Stern
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Signet: Frodo
Ring-bound. Ranger. Hunter 1.
The twilight cost of each other ranger and Ring-bound Man in your starting fellowship is -1 (to a minimum of 1).
Maneuver: Exert Faramir to play a possession on a ranger; its twilight cost is -1.
Skirmish: Exert Faramir to make a ranger strength +1.
“‘War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all....’” |

Very interesting... doesn’t leave a ton of room for the minion to be killed during maneuver (obviously) or archery, but the skirmish possibilities are good. It’s an okay card, though a little basic.

Again, basic, but it’s a cheap, fairly strong fortification. Gladly one that transfers during maneuver.

The "to a minimum of 1" part is good. Lots of exertion abilities, but overall, he’s pretty good. |

Allow it to be transfered by spotting rangers, maybe?

You’re never going to use this card in a knight deck because it’s too expensive, so what’s the point of allowing it to transfer for them? Interesting otherwise.

I actually agree with NB - this card is OP (by no fault of your own, obviously), so I think you should modify the text a bit so remove the wounding bit, for example, to make it fairer.

I understand your thought process behind the minimum 1, but I don’t like it. In fact, I think it’s horribly clumsy. Why not the much simpler ’While you can spot a ranger or Ring-bound Man, Faramir’s twilight cost is -1’? Other than that, he’s really cool.

Well im not quite sure why you need to make it so costly if it can only go on non wounded minions. Just lower cost to 3 and remove the twilight reduction as if youre using rangers its gonna be free anyway which is too good and if youre not you probably wouldnt use it.
