Can a Ringwraith with an orc follower move between havens
The rulebook says "Characters in a Ringwraith’s company can only be other Ringwraiths, unless at a Darkhaven. If a Ringwraith is played as a new company at a non-Darkhaven site that contains another company with non-Ringwraith characters, and if both companies are still there at the end of all movement/hazard phases when they would be forced to combine, immediately discard the non-Ringwraith company."
The first line suggest the orc may not be in his company, but the discard seems to be arranged at the end of M/H when he is at (the doorsteps?) of the other haven. The text only speaks on non-havens

I think that if a company contains characters that may not be in the same company unless at Haven, then such a company may not move.
"Characters in a Ringwraith’s company can only be other Ringwraiths, unless at a Darkhaven."
does not specify any forbidden activities that could cause a violation of the rule.
"If a Ringwraith is played as a new company at a non-Darkhaven site that contains another company with non-Ringwraith characters, and if both companies [...]"
does not say anything about the player's activity of player. Joining companies at the end of all companies' M/H phases is not activity of a player, but an effect enforced by rules.

We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

Thx,
Was argueing the same. His argument is that the Ringwraith - orc follower situation is never checked for in the M/H phase. Therefore the Org.Phase :allowed)and Site Phase :also allow (since we are at haven)

The only thing that is not sure for me is whether announcing a movement of Rinwraith+Orc company is forbidden, or whether the transition from not moving state to moving state is stopped.
When such a company announces its movement, it doesn't immediately violate the company composition rules. In the meantime (between announcing and transition), the composition of the company may change.
