Btw if I have some spare time, would you like me to correct the formatting DIRECTLY on the main post?

Oh Yes, please do!

Death is just - Except for (I believe) it being the dead pile, the idea's interesting.  I think it should just go ahead and play the companion from the dead pile, rather than assign - just a little easier.  If it's a matter of cost, I think saying that its cost is -5 should cover almost all cases.
In other words, I'd put the ability as "Assignment:  Play an enduring companion from your dead pile and assign a minion to skirmish it; its twilight cost is -5.  If no minion is assigned to a skirmish, place that companion in your dead pile.  Discard this condition."
I'd be a bit worried about the power level if it wasn't unique, but as it is seems fine unless I can find a way to discard the Wraiths during skirmishes...  Even then it might not be too bad.

Things to Unsay - Other than the length of the name, it's pretty good.  I think you could remove the "shadow"s from the text and it would still be alright.  After all, it just gives the additional ability to discard cards to discard your own stuff.  At the least, remove it from the regroup action - unless you can show a non-shadow minion. 

Elf of the Wand - I think the skirmish ability could be worded a little better.  Maybe "Exert Gandalf or Elrond to discard an unassigned minion bearing a possession or artifact.  Any shadow player may liberate a site to prevent this."

Enemy in our midst - Similar to the version, except it doesn't get rid of itself...  The only issue I have with these types of cards is that you would be able to see them coming.   It makes it tougher to play them right, but possible.  If you could set up a really effective mill and play this late-game, they could be killed while reconciling.

No, Not Master - I like it, although that may be because I like the Smeagol/Frodo/Sam fellowship with non-RB Frodo... (ideally, I'd want to use all of their ringed resistance versions, but all of Frodo's are Ring-bearers)  So with a Ring-bearer Smeagol, you lose out on his discard abilities.  This gives some back. 

Solid Rock - Why not just "Bearer must be Smeagol or Gollum." - with a note that you can play it as a FP or Shadow card (like a culture card).  Remember that card templates tell you which side they're for (moreso for ) - so Solid Rock (right now) couldn't be played during either the fellowship or shadow phase, just one.  Otherwise it seems pretty good.
