Character

Characters represent the heroes, monsters and villains of Middle-earth. All characters use the same basic card layout, which includes strength, vitality, and race. A companion is a Free Peoples character, who may join the Ring-bearer and be part of his fellowship. An ally is a Free Peoples character, who provides support for your fellowship, but who does not travel with it. A minion is a Shadow character representing a villain or creature that is used to attacks other players' fellowships.
