1. First, solve the eight clues and fill in the answers in the blanks below. You may want to print this page out as a worksheet because the blanks can't be filled in on-screen. Answers may be one or more words long and may or may not include punctuation or accented characters, but no spaces or punctuation are included here (each line represents a letter). Ignore any accent marks when transferring letters to the final answer.

  1. Hobbit alias.
  2. #4 has an ability used in this game turn phase.
  3. This minion's name was misspelled in its first (Fellowship of the Ring) incarnation and received errata to make it match the later versions. His name is related to the number of Rings of Power forged for the dwarf-lords. What was the misspelled version?
  4. There are 14 versions of Gollum and Sméagol (not counting any that appear in Shadows). The answer to this clue is one of the 14 subtitles.
  5. A keyword possessed by #6.
  6. This minion's race happens to be the same as the second word in the answer to #4.
  7. Card title with collector's number X Y Z, where:
       X = the site number on the original version of one of the "new" Shadows sites revealed so far
       Y = the first letter of the last word of #8
       Z = the number of versions of The One Ring in the game (all printings of The Ruling Ring count as just one version)
  8. The last word of #6 is related to a feature of this version of The One Ring. What is this version's subtitle?

Example: One of the new cultures in Shadows.
