Welcome to Fill in the Blank Season 1: Lairs!Each week I'll post the collector's information for one of the cards in the set's card-list.
Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the card-list, keeping in mind the surrounding cards. As the contest progresses, the card-list will become more and more defined, guiding the contestants' choices.
The theme of our set is Lairs! You're free to interpret this however you want.
Not every card has to fit the theme, of course, but it's something to keep in mind when coming up with entries.
Each week a poll will go up for the previous week's entries. Simply vote for one you like the most. In the event of a tie, I'll let a random result generator make the decision.

Last week's entries to pick from for Card #8... Fulfill the Oath
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 3 Wraiths. The Shadow has the initiative regardless of the Free Poeples player's hand. Each exhausted Wraith is strength +2 and damage +1. Discard this condition during the regroup phase.
Designer's notes:
I tried to make this card similar to Blades Drawn while also preventing the player from using this card and Swept Away to make the Wraith deck unstoppable. The one thing I don't like about this card is the fact that it would trigger all those "if you lose initiative" cards that already seem powerful. However, since the condition must spot 3 Wraiths, it prevents this from being done so easily as it would prevent splashing. The huge benefit of this card would be that it would prevent Swept Away from being in every Wraith deck.
Sheltered Hollow
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a ranger. Discard this condition if you can spot more than four companions or four minions.
Fellowship: Exert a ranger or add to reveal four cards at random from an opponent's hand. Draw one card per Shadow card revealed.
'Rangers have been here lately. It is they who left the firewood behind.'
Designer's notes:
The flavor here combines the aspects of discovering the Ranger's cache at the foot of Weathertop, and the risk of climbing to the top to survey the surrounding area.
•Sewers of Osgiliath
Condition • Support Area
When the fellowship moves from site 7[T], you may take a event and a event into hand from your discard pile.
Regroup: Exert a Ring-bound Man and discard this condition to discard a wounded minion.
"' Go, Frodo. Go with the goodwill of all Men.'"
At the Sign of the Prancing Pony
Event • Skirmish
Stealth.
Spot a ranger and discard a pipeweed possession to cancel a skirmish involving a or companion (except the Ring-bearer).
"When they saw them they were glad that they had taken his advice: the windows had been forced open and were swinging, and the curtains were flapping; the beds were tossed about, and the bolsters slashed and flung upon the floor..."
•Boromir's Cloak, Weatherworn
Possession • Cloak
Resistance +1
Bearer must be Boromir.
Each time Boromir is about to exert, you may discard 2 cards (or a tale) from hand to place no token for that exertion.
"...indeed though his garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur, they were stained with long travel."
