DESCRIPTION
Bring the shadow of war to The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth with the Spreading War expansion! Within, players will find new heroes, enemies, journey map tiles, terrain, and items to supplement all of their adventures. This expansion also unlocks a brand-new, fifteen-scenario campaign that challenges the heroes to battle ruthless mercenaries across the wide plains of the Riddermark, in the tangle of Fangorn Forest, and through the haunted ruins of Osgiliath.
Can the players protect the lands of Rohan and Gondor? Prepare the heroes of Middle-earth and ride to battle in Spreading War!
In addition to her natural abilities, Arwen can also take on a specific role in your Fellowship, of course, and the Shadowed Paths expansion unlocks five new roles that any hero can choose when beginning an adventure. In Arwen’s case, her vast knowledge and skill in the healing arts make her a natural Herbalist. In this role, Arwen can use the natural Curiosity of Herbalists to find the inspiration she needs to overcome the challenges ahead. Once she’s indulged this curiosity, she can then dispense her Gathered Wisdom to prepare more skills or heal her wounds.
We’ll take a look at all of the new heroes included in the Shadowed Paths expansion in a future preview!
Dark Influence
Whether you choose the healing expertise of an Herbalist or use trinkets and items in new ways as a Smith, your quest remains clear: journey into the heart of Mirkwood and eliminate the evil that has taken root there. But more than one road can lead you to this goal. At the end of many Shadowed Paths adventures, the app will present you with a choice of which adventure to play next. Each fork in the road changes the course of your journey and, ultimately, the path your Fellowship takes is up to you.
These adventures will certainly bring you into contact with enemies of many different types, of course, and while these beasts are certain to take their toll, the true enemy may lie within. Despite beginning the campaign united in their efforts to rid Mirkwood of the rising menace that resides there, throughout Shadowed Paths heroes can slowly give into to the forces of greed, despair, and suspicion in the form of corruption.
Unlike damage or fear, corruption stays with the heroes throughout the entire campaign, and is tracked by the app. This corruption can weigh on a hero, triggering certain events during your adventures. What’s more, if a hero cannot pass a last stand test when they would gain their fourth corruption, they are defeated. Do you have what it takes to resist the corrupting influences you face long enough to complete your quest?
Travel New Roads
Rumors of dark creatures infesting Mirkwood have reached your ears. If they are true, you will have to seek out ways to fight the foul beasts. But what awaits in the gathering shadows of the forest? Build a new Fellowship and journey into the darkness with the Shadowed Paths expansion for Journeys in Middle-earth!
