F 6 S 4 D 7 A 3 W 3 C 6 M 3 W 3 F 3

Prince Imrahil is the Lord of Dol Amroth, the fair port city on the Bay of Belfalas. Descended from the nobles of Numenor in almost true line, Imrahil has a commanding presence and unshakeable loyalty to the ruling line of Gondor, whether they be Steward or King. Though he possesses martial skills all but unparalleled in Gondor, it is Imrahils gift of inspiration that shows his true quality, for he is able to rally those around him in even the very direst of circumstances. It is chiefly through Imrahils leadership that the fiefdoms of Gondor have been spared the worst in these days of deepening shadow.

Wargear

Imrahil wears heavy armour and carries both a shield and the Sword of Dol Amroth. He may be given the following items at an additional cost. Armoured Horse Lance 15 points 5 points

Bedevilled by near constant raids carried out by Orcs of the White Mountains and the Corsairs of Umbar, Duinhir and his folk have had plenty of opportunity to hone their archery to the point where their skill surpasses that of most other Men, and has even come to rival that of the Elves.

GOOD WARRIORS
Knight of Dol Amroth Points value: 9
F 4 S 3 D 6 A 1 W 1 C 4

The tall Swan Knights of Dol Amroth are the elite of Gondor, men fair and stern of aspect and peerless upon the field of battle. Truly they are a memory of days long ago lost. Some fight on foot, leading regiments of Men-at-arms into the fray, but most knights fight from horseback, their skilled hands guiding gleaming lances to pierce the heart of the enemy formations. Where the Swan Knights of Dol Amroth ride, hope is reborn and victory is torn from the darkness of defeat.

Dol Amroths defence rests not only upon the shoulders of her knights, but also upon her Men-atarms, a force of standing soldiery sworn to the princes service. Unlike the Swan Knights, these Men-at-arms are of common birth, but are no less dedicated to the protection of Gondor and Dol Amroth.

The Southern Fiefdoms

Axeman of Lossarnach

Points value: 9
F 4 S 3 D 5 A 1 W 1 C 3

The Men of Lossarnach are unusually armed, choosing to wield broad-bladed axes in place of the more commonplace spear and sword. This peculiarity holds its origins in the earliest days of Gondor, when the first lord of Lossarnach used such a weapon to great effect in the defence of his liege. Since that day, the sons of Lossarnach have wielded these polearms with fearsome skill, battering aside or crushing any who would stand before them.

An Axeman of Lossarnach wears heavy armour and carries an axe of Lossarnach. He may be given the following items at additional cost: Banner 25 points

Clansman of Lamedon

Points value: 8
F 4 S 3 D 4 A 1 W 1 C 5

The Clansmen of Lamedon make their homes in the untamed foothills of the White Mountains. Undisciplined and preferring a wilder way of fighting, such folk may be unsuited to the ordered battle lines at the heart of Gondors armies but they are formidable skirmishers, using their long blades to great effect.

Wargear

A Clansman of Lamedon wears armour and carries a two-handed sword. Note that he does not carry a hand weapon and so is otherwise considered to be unarmed.

Special Rules

The Honour of Lamedon. The Clansmen of Lamedon are fanatically loyal to their chief, Angbor the Fearless. Clansmen of Lamedon always count as being within the area of effect of a banner if Angbor the Fearless is within 6/14cm.

Warrior of the Ringlo Vale

Points value: 7
F 3 S 3 D 5 A 1 W 1 C 2

Anfalas to the South and Dol Amroth to the East offer protection against the Corsairs whilst to the North East the Fief of Lamedon patrols her lands vigorously. But the Men of Pinnath Gelin do take pride in their livery, a swath of Green with yellow stars but more so their captain, Hirluin the Fair.

Wargear

A Warrior of Pinnath Gelin wears armour and carries a spear and shield. Any warrior can be given additional items at the following cost: Banner 20 points

Militia of Lebennin

Points value: 5
F S 3/4+ 3 D 4 A 1 W 1 C 2

Militia men from all across the Lebennin swell the ranks of Gondors Southern armies. Without such dedicated service the lands would be overrun with orcs and other foul creatures that are drawn to the rich pastures and fields. In Gondors darkest hour the Militia of Lebennin were thinly spread across the major crossing points and coastal towns. Many men travelled with the Grey Company on the Corsair fleet to Minas Tirith were they joined battle on the Pelennor.
