ARDA with DCs - Northern Exposure (3-player avatarless hero alignment)

[Vastor Peredhil]

You play one of the factions lesser known forces of good in Northern Wastes: The Umli , Elves of Evermist, or Berninga. All of which traveled south to seek the help of the Dwarves of North, the Elves of Rivendell or Beorn and his followers.

The Elves of Evermist are lead by Nestador or his ally Lospindel (or both) they need to draft at least 2 of these cards (Keeper of the Lodge, Land Reborn, Cembereth, Lay of Enchantments or Heirs of Eärendil - Tears of Vayanna are ALWAYS reshuffled into MP deck by other players) Starting site: Evermist, Rivendell or Grey Havens

The Berniga are lead by Raudabern & his cousin Beorn and need to draft Master of the Wooden Halls (Skin-changer Must always be traded with this player) Starting site: Evermist, Rivendell, Beorn's House or Ligr Wodaize Berne

The Umli are lead by Galgrinic and his body guards Marin and Ukkojalka they need to draft The Glory of Their Arms (Galgrin's Hammer MUST always be traded to this player) or Heirs of Ucin and Ulaphel (or both) Evermist, Rivendell, Puolihmisten Satama, Vasaran Ahjo, Blue Mountain Dwarf-hold, Iron Hill Dwarf-hold

There are plenty of startable events (Ancient Skill and Wisdom is considered one as well) - move all non-choosen double-sided quests to the sideboard, (copies of the startable characters can only be used to untap set characters (as if an avatar in DC) or to replace these (in case they have been discarded) by the player of this faction, not ever for an influence attempt against these characters)

Sites: only sites in or adjacent to the Northern Waste may be revealed as new sites except for Havens; you many reveal a resource from hand (or have in play) which mentions a site outsides these regions to be able to move further outsite the allowed regions. (Bonds of Winter extends the NW so there can be some more sites visited if the timing is right)

All characters are considered hero characters (even grey agents and agents); you can even start Fram Framson or Camring
Since no avatars are used, all affects that target cards in sideboard or discard pile can be read as either of these - and cards maybe be taken straight to hand - (e.g. Longbottom Leaf gets you 2 SB cards straight to hand)

The council may be called when you reach 25 MP
� Ring items and hoard items are each separate MP categories for the purpose of the Council.
� Cards that mention the word ‘stored’ in their game text may be stored during the site phase.

� Except when the Council has been called, any character, ally or item that has been
successfully influenced away by an opponent is transferred to character who has
influenced it/him. In the case of influencing a character: place him under DI if possible,
discard any allies he controls, transfer one item of defender’s choice to a character in his
company, and keep all other nonfollower cards he controls with the character.

� Instead of 4 roving characters there are 6, and instead of discarding 1 during endofturn, a
dice is rolled to determine which of the 6 is discarded.
� Roving characters with mind 4 or less may be brought into play at any Freehold, Border
hold or Ruins & Lairs.
� If any player has a resource in hand that is specific to a character another player has in play
(e.g. Return of the King, Skin-changer), he must trade it with that player.
