permanent residents, some few abide in
outlying cottages or farmsteads, although most
of these small and isolated dwelling-places
now stand empty. Mithlond cannot sustain
itself through farming alone (although the most
inland areas of the south are home to many
orchards and wheat-fields), and for this reason
a great many Elves are semi-nomadic,
spending much of the year aboard fishing-
vessels of myriad sizes (the bulk of this industry
is carried out elsewhere, in Forlond).
Elves of the Havens are perhaps less learned
than their distant cousins in Imladris, and yet
are often more wise. They generally prefer the

gemstones and metal, although many covet

New Fellowship Phase Undertaking: Study under Farin (Dwarves with the Broken Spells Virtue
Only)
The rare Dwarf who earns the trust of Farin might just be chosen as the recipient for some of the deep
learning he occasionally passes on from that which he learnt from his fathers. By spending an Experience
Point and an undertaking each time, a Dwarf with the Broken Spells Virtue may learn any one of the three
following new spells.

Spells of Shattering and Sundering

By whispering hard words over an unattended object and spending a Point of Hope, the process of its
natural decay may be hastened, making it easier to break, topple or destroy. This Spell is only powerful
enough to make such tasks moderately easier, however (Reducing the TN by 2 instantly, and by 4 after one
week has passed). A dubious incantation of poor reputation, use of this Spell might qualify as a Misdeed
depending on the circumstances. A Dwarf must know the Spells of Opening and Shutting to learn this
Spell.

Spells of Marking and Signalling

You may spend a Point of Hope to inscribe a mark into a rock, door, tree or similar large object while
thinking of a short message (generally a single word or simple concept, such as ‘Danger’, ‘This Way’ or
‘Burglar wants a good job, plenty of excitement and reasonable reward.’). Any Dwarf who beholds the
mark comprehends the message instantly. Others may attempt a Hard Riddle Test to do so (for this reason,
many such marks are protected with Spells of Secrecy). A Dwarf must know the Spells of Prohibition and
Exclusion to learn this Spell.

Spells of Vanishing
An advanced application of Spells of Secrecy, this spell can only be used on a small object such as a
musical instrument, message-scroll or knife. After spending a Point of Hope, the object cannot be
perceived by others, even if the bearer is subject to a stringent search. At any time afterwards, the bearer
may produce the item (which, to an observer, appears to pop into existence as if from nowhere). This Spell
is not without weaknesses, as Thror learnt to his cost: for beings of great and terrible power are able to
perceive that something is being hidden, and torture or fell sorcery may be employed to force the bearer to
reveal it. A Dwarf must know the Spells of Secrecy to learn this Spell.

Utgash is a Great Orc with the Battle-Hardened

Enhancement and Reckless Hate ability (see
Rivendell), along with a few additional
abilities. He typically fights with his spear and

prodigious Parry rating.
His Fear of Water ability functions identically to
the Fear of Fire ability, but requires large
amounts of water or a real threat of drowning
to activate.

Wolves possessing no additional qualities.
However, some among their Chieftains share
Caunrist’s Dreadful Spells ability, as detailed
below.

Caunrist is a fierce werewolf, who has long

been in the service of Sauron. She possesses the
Greater and Skillful Enhancements (see
Rivendell) and the Dreadful Spells Ability.

Closely related to Hill-Trolls, River-Trolls (as the
name suggests) make their dens along
riverbanks. Generally speaking they are rather
lazy, and mainly survive on fishing (showing
surprising cunning in their chosen art). Still, if
a poorly defended boat or isolated traveller
wander into their domain, a River-Troll will not
hesitate to diversify their diet.
River-Trolls favour large spears, which they
either fashion themselves or else loot from
victims. River-Troll spears always feature
wings, hooks or barbs designed to latch onto a
victim and reel them in, from where the troll
will crush them without mercy.

Conchobar is the undisputed leader of the

Reavers, possessing the requisite mix of
brutality and strategy to command such a
band. His preferred weapon is a Great Forest
Axe (see Horse Lords of Rohan or The
Adventurer’s Companion), allowing him to use
his Great Axe along with a Shield.

The Reavers of the Fæsholt are Dunlendings

(see Horse-Lords of Rohan), except their Spear

Shield (+2 to Parry Rating).
