LOTR:LCG Alt Art Ally: Envoy of Pelargir

"It is forty leagues and two from Pelargir to the landings at the Harlond. Yet slowly we passed up the Great River, for we strove against its stream, we had no help of wind." - a merger of two nearby quotes from the chapter "The Last Debate" from The Return of the King.

 

One of the most versatile, inexpensive allies in game, Envoy of Pelargir. This version uses repurposed artwork from LOTR:LCG veteran illustrator Aleksander Karcz, taken from another FFG card from A Game of Thrones, "Able Crewman"

 

While, the original card art was a beauty by Magali Villeneuve. I could not find a decent enough quality of it to enlarge, and even if I did, it would cut off most of the sailing ship which makes the card art shine.

 

This alternate version by Aleksander Karcz (who is the second most prolific LOTR:LCG illustrator next to Magali) was only lightly altered - I moved the flying sea gull from halfway under the stat scroll to its current position.

 

I also changed the original flavor text to the one above - I thought this one was more descriptive of Pelargir relative to familiar areas like the Harlond harbors by Minas Tirith. Plus I had plenty of room to add a longer quote.
