BRAND, KING OF DALE...................................................................................

110 POINTS
(MAN, DALE, INFANTRY, HERO) – HERO OF LEGEND
The grandson of Bard the Bowman, Brand was the king of Dale at the time of the War of the Ring. Though he had been approached by the Nazgûl
to join with Sauron, when the armies from the east marched to war upon Erebor, Brand rallied his people to stand beside the Dwarves of the Lonely
Mountain against the Easterling threat. Every bit as skilled as his bloodline would suggest, Brand fought valiantly in the Battle of Dale, but was,
unfortunately, slain facing impossible odds.

BARD II, PRINCE OF DALE..............................................................................100 POINTS
(MAN, DALE, INFANTRY, HERO) – HERO OF VALOUR
Bard II is the son of King Brand, and the heir to the throne of Dale. Having joined the ranks of the Knights of Dale at a young age,
Bard quickly developed an exceptional martial skill, one worthy of the name that had been bestowed upon him, and rose through the
ranks to eventually become commander of the Knights. At the Battle of Dale, Bard fought alongside his father against the Easterling
army. Though his father was slain and their forces driven back to Erebor, Bard, along with Thorin III Stonehelm, rallied his people to push
out from Erebor, facing the Easterling armies head-on and winning a great victory.

Founded by the ancestors of Girion, and reinstated under

the rule of King Bard following the rebuilding of Dale, the
Knights of Dale have ever been the elite of the city’s armies,
tasked with protecting the royal families of Dale upon the
battlefield. Clad in thick plated armour, and wielding both
shields and spears, the Knights of Dale are highly-skilled
warriors and are often led by the princes of Dale. At the
time of the War of the Ring it is the king’s own son, Bard
II, that commands the Knights of Dale.

WINDLANCE.........................................................................................................75 POINTS
(SIEGE ENGINE)
Forged by the Dwarves of Erebor and gifted to the city of Dale to protect its walls, a Windlance is a weapon of exceptional craftsmanship. This war
engine launches barbed spears towards the enemy, powerful enough to pierce all but the most impenetrable armour or hide,
and is cleverly designed so only a single Man of Dale is required to fire it if needed. It was a Windlance that Girion, Lord of Dale,
used to launch a Black Arrow at the Dragon Smaug; though it did not slay the beast, it did loosen a scale that would one day prove
to be Smaug’s downfall.

o the east of Mirkwood lies the great Dwarven realm of Erebor, ruled over by Thrór, the Last King Under the
Mountain. Over the years, Erebor has forged a great alliance with Dale, City of Men, and its lord, Girion. Trade is
prevalent between Erebor and Dale, with the Dwarves using the grand markets of Dale to sell their wares across Middle-
earth and in return provide the armouries of Dale with finely-wrought weapons. Yet the greatest asset these allies provide
each other is a combined strength-in-arms.

It is commonplace for a small band of Dwarves from Erebor and Men from Dale to be tasked with the defence of an outpost, one that provides great
benefits to both realms. Bands such as these often end up forming close bonds as they hone their skills side-by-side in the wild lands of Middle-earth, both
sharing their talents and experiences with the other.
