Key mechanics include: - *Siege scenario* Players lead heroes to attack a fortress city, liberate captives, and confront Thane Ulchor after rescuing slave-field prisoners. - *Hero addition* Introduces a new Spirit version of Aragorn to bolster player forces. - *Card expansions* Provides new player cards for every sphere, a neutral attachment, and a contract to diversify deck-building options. - *Ally recruitment* New friends and allies assist in overcoming the scenario's dangers under cover of darkness. The Fortress of Nurn expansion propels the Vengeance of Mordor cycle to its ultimate confrontation, placing players' brave company of heroes deep in Mordor's heart, surrounded by peril.

It enriches gameplay with a Spirit Aragorn hero, sphere-spanning player cards, a neutral attachment, and a contract, dramatically expanding viable deck compositions for any scenario. ---
