fine.

Axe of the Lonely Mountain

Bearer must be a Dwarf. While you can spot a artifact, this possession's twilight cost is -1.

seems like a lot for a non unique weapon.  I'd cut the cost to one, cut the artifact ability, make it one threat with a limit of +3.

should be reveal your hand, discard this artifact...IMSO.

I think this is very good. Flexibility between 2 awesome effects, I think too good for . I would choose one of them and lose the other.

I think I'm agreeing with SoP. And you need an "until the regroup phase" clause.

Again, I think I agree with SoP.

That companion loses all bonuses from possessions until the regroup phase. The Free Peoples player may discard 2 cards of that companion's culture from hand to prevent that.

I think just removing to add a burden is a bit low maybe have him exert as well

lower the cost, it seems like a big risk for .

I think removing for a threat and a burden is enough and I don't think you need to make the card less elegant with parentheses. Either both abilities should add 2 if there are 6 companions, or neither should.

I think discarding 2 Free Peoples cards is enough, but this is an interesting card. Perhaps could cost .

Cool! I love this flavour! Could probably spot Gollum or have a slightly lower cost.

I like him. Nice and balanced.

Not sure about Bert. Doesn't seem too bad, I wouldn't think he'd get a lot of use. IDK, maybe.

Not bad. 

I've always seen Bill-Bert-Tom DC's as something that should be able to survive well in a deck as the only minions.
Plenty of versatility and the ability to pack a punch. These seem like they're meant to co-exist alongside other
minions which seems to kind of kill the flavor.

I'm not sure I understand the point of reducing his twilight cost only by 1, just seems like it should either be more or nothing.

His ability is bad, unfortunately. In your opponent's turn, their almost certainly going to have more Shadow cards than Free Peoples cards in their hand so your losing a lot of twilight from the pool and exerting Bert twice for the pleasure. Would be more interesting with the and the other way around, or if he was enduring.

Now this is exceedingly strong, I think he should remove . Also, given that Bert and Tom are about twilight in the pool, it's a shame that William isn't. I think I would prefer these guys if William tied in with the theme more closely.
