LOTR:LCG Steward of Gondor Thematic Alt Card - Seer of Mithlond. By Alan Lee

I created this Steward of Gondor thematic alternate for use with Círdan the Shipwright and other Elven heroes.

 

Mithlond is the elvish name for the Grey Havens seen at the end of the books/movies. Círdan waited here to take the Elves to the Undying Lands, and the card title was based on his first interaction with Gandalf when the Istari arrived here on the shores of Middle-earth.

 

"For Círdan saw further and deeper than any other in Middle-earth, and he welcomed Mithrandir at the Grey Havens....'Take this ring, Master, he said, for your labours will be heavy; but it will support you in the weariness that you have taken upon yourself."

 

And thus the Elven Ring of Fire Narya was passed to Gandalf.

 

Círdan's great foresight inspired the title of the card, Seer of Mithlond.

 

Best thematic fits include Círdan, Gandalf, and any Noldor/Silvan of the north such as Gildor Inglorion

 

Mithlond is beautifully illustrated here by artist Alan Lee. The clear similarities with the movie imagery are a cause/effect of Alan being the artistic consultant for the cinema trilogy.
