About "The Way is Under..."...the idea of using "Condition • Site" wasn’t actually invented by me, but by Decipher. See cards like Pummeling Blow. And as for an underground mountain...well, ever heard of Mount Doom? 
The reason Dwarven Stronghold is a fortification is because I think we might find some cards based around  fortifications. (hint, hint)
And regarding Seeker of Truesilver...I think I will change it to limit one per bearer, seeing as it gives a vitality bonus, too. |

Much too good, in my opinion. Not only is it any card, but it’s free and can keep a fellowship alive fairly easily. Add costs, cultural enforcement, yadda yadda yadda.

How is it powerful without the Response action? in the skirmish phase isn’t typically very much. What Shadow thrives off of events? But I think I’ll remove the muster bonus to give it more balance.

I think Barricaded Door should cost , then stack a card. Since it *is* a common (even though I generally shy from shaping a card around its rairty), and commons (at least, conditions) seem to be costed a tad higher.
Due to timing issues, Captain might need to say:
"Each time this character wins a skirmish, make a character of the same culture strength +2 until the end of that character’s skirmish."
On that note, have you considered making Captain something like Captain 1 and Captain 3, since some people can lead better than others?
I think I was a little tired when I read Stronghold; but I’m pretty sure I was just commenting on the sheer amount of things going on in the card. Dropping any one of the parts of it should clean it up.
SofM - good change.
I really want to see that Gandalf! |

I took your advice on Barricaded Doors...and that’s an awesome idea for Captain! I’ll change it in the thread’s opening post, and give Balin a Captain number.
I’ve also decided to up the number of  cards, because I’m going to be covering the Paths of the Dead in this set, since it’s about all of Arda’s "underdwellers".
Two final cards!
