Unexpected Courage can be attached to any hero, across the board, as needed ( Éomer seems a good candidate).Įxcept for Gandalf, all of the allies in the deck have either the Gondor or Rohan trait in order to benefit from universal effects in the other decks, like Mutual Accord, For Gondor!, Visionary Leadership & Forth Eorlingas!, as well as Éomund & Astonishing Speed from this deck.Įvery ally brings some to the quest, especially Escort from Edoras & Pelargir Shipwright. Note that several attachments are meant to be attached to heroes in 'Ride Now, Ride Now!'

She carries the Horn of Gondor (from 'Spear Shall Be Shaken.') to keep her resource pool high for Blood of Númenor & Livery of the Tower. She can quest for 3, then defend, if needed, with Blood of Númenor & Livery of the Tower. Éowyn rides a Steed of the Mark, which allows her to ready after questing for 5-6 to play Strength of Will.Ĭaldara also rides a Steed of the Mark.

After questing with 3, he can ready and either defend at 5 or attack at 5, as needed. Théoden leads the quest mounted on Snowmane and wielding his sword Herugrim & Golden Shield. Though the heroes & allies can defend or attack in a pinch, they will typically leave the combat to the other decks and concentrate on clearing locations and completing quests. The focus of this deck within the Fellowship is typical for the driven Spirit sphere: questing, location exploration, and treachery control. Note that hero stats referenced in the descriptions of all three decks reflect the bonuses provided by Elfhelm, as 8 of the 9 heroes have a Mount attachment. It is designed to be played with the companion mono-Leadership & mono-Tactics decks-'Ride Now, Ride Now!' & 'Spear Shall Be Shaken.'-in my 'Ride to Gondor!' Fellowship.
