Description

--- "The Withered Heath" is the inaugural Adventure Pack of the Ered Mithrin cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, challenging heroes to confront a dragon threat amid treacherous mountain perils. Key mechanics include: - *Quest progression* Heroes advance from prior journeys along the Anduin River, through Mirkwood's Forest Road, Iron Hills caves, to the Grey Mountains' Withered Heath. - *Threat elimination* Players seek to extinguish the dragon-breeding danger before it endangers the Wilderland. - *Card expansion* Features 60 cards, including a new hero and three copies of each new player card. - *Hazard navigation* Treacherous mountain roads with weather as perilous as encountered creatures. The Withered Heath, the first Adventure Pack in the Ered Mithrin cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, propels heroes—having traversed the Anduin River on winter's eve, Mirkwood's Forest Road, and Iron Hills caves—toward a dire new threat in the Grey Mountains. This long valley, reputed as a dragon breeding ground, demands urgent intervention to prevent wrath upon the Wilderland. Comprising 60 cards with a new hero and triplicate player cards, the pack immerses players in perilous mountain traversal where harsh weather rivals creature dangers in lethality. ---
