Now, I feel that there may be a lack of willingness to participate in these contests. It's open to anyone (even Conor    ) and I believe that while there are 150+ members of the CC boards, and if half of them are LOTR fans, then I should get 75 entries by the end of this week. So, tell your neighbor, friends, dog, mother, and grandmother, it's time for The Wonders of Middle-Earth, contest number 3.

And finally, the cards to make. Now we shall focus on minions.
 
Make: 
 
 
  Azog, "an Orc-chieftain of Moria, who started the War of the Dwarves and Orcs when he slew Thrór. He was himself slain by Dáin Ironfoot in the Battle of Azanulbizar."
 
 
  Gothmog, "the most powerful of all the Balrogs, one of the chief servants of Melkor, who held an authority hardly less than Sauron himself. A wily commander and fearsome fighter, Gothmog was often accompanied by others of his fiery kind, and at least in the Nirnaeth he had a personal guard of dozens of trolls. His weapon was a great black axe."
 
 
  Hunter, "a shadowy creature of Elvish legend, said to have plagued the newly-awakened Elves at Cuiviénen. Those Elves captured by the Hunter were thought to have been corrupted by Melkor to form the race of Orcs. "
 
 
Yes, I have shown you 2   minions to make, but those minions aren't even really sauron minions to start with. But they dont fit any real other culture. |
