Title: Well-Spoken Gentlehobbit and Whisper in the Dark
Post by: Tunadan on May 03, 2022, 02:27:57 PM: Does Bilbo, Well-Spoken Gentlehobbit discard Whisper in the Dark when the follower is in the support area?

Even more, Bilbo specifies "an opponent's support area". Even if whispers counted as being in a support area when the follower that bears it is in a support area, it would be in "your support area" not "an opponent's support area" for any follower except Saruman, SoS.

I think he asked specifically because of Saruman, SoS.
