What if the Keepers of the Elven Rings had used their Rings of Power to challenge the might of the Dark Lord? What if the Balrog had risen out of Moria to bring fire and fury to the lands of the Free Peoples? What if the Council of Elrond had decided differently about the Fellowship of the Ring?

Lords of Middle-earth is the first expansion for War of the Ring (second edition), and it opens the door to exactly these possibilities and many more. It brings fresh gaming opportunities and new strategies to the epic struggle between the Free Peoples and the Shadow.

Legends Take the Field: Important personalities who once appeared only through Event Cards now step onto the board with their own figures and rules. Elrond, Galadriel, Sméagol, Gothmog and the mighty Balrog of Moria join the conflict, alongside alternate versions of Gandalf, the Witch-king and the Mouth of Sauron.

Ring Keepers and Lesser Minions: New special Action Dice give each side fresh options. The Free Peoples player gains Elven Ring Keepers dice, while the Shadow player commands Lesser Minion dice.

The Council of Rivendell: New versions of every Companion of the Fellowship make it possible to play the optional Council of Rivendell rules, letting players revisit the fateful decisions of Elrond's council.

Long-Awaited Heroes: As an added bonus, figures for Aragorn and Gandalf the White finally give these beloved characters a presence on the board that fans have eagerly awaited.

Gather your allies, rally your forces and rewrite the story of the Third Age. With Lords of Middle-earth, the destiny of an age is yours to forge.
