Bulwark of the west (Caldara Outlands 1/2)

We heard of the horns in the hills ringing,
the swords shining in the South-kingdom.
Steeds went striding to the Stoningland
as wind in the morning. War was kindled.

'And there are names
among us that are worth more than a thousand mail-clad knights apiece. No, he will not smile.'

Caldara: discarda llies with Cirdan and Arwen and Emery (and Glorfindel). Optimal starting hand Emery + Sword-thain (you can make her a hero in the first round). Imrahil becomes hero after Caldara sacrifices herself. events and Map for recursion.
Outlands: just....build an army. Balin can be belted to pay for allies. Carddraw with King.


Suddenly, caught by the level beams, Frodo saw the old king's head: it was lying rolled away
by the roadside. `Look, Sam!' he cried, startled into speech. `Look! The king has got a crown
again!'
The eyes were hollow and the carven beard was broken, but about the high stern forehead there
was a coronal of silver and gold. A trailing plant with flowers like small white stars had bound
itself across the brows as if in reverence for the fallen king, and in the crevices of his stony
hair yellow stonecrop gleamed.
'They cannot conquer for ever!' said Frodo.
