Resource Long- and Permanent-events

LORD OF MORIA (Resource Permanent-event)
2 miscellaneous MP
Playable on Balin the same turn his company defeats all automatic-attacks at Moria. Balin receives +2 direct influence and his mind increases by 2. While this card is in play, all automatic-attacks at Moria are at -1 strike (to a minimum of 1) and -1 prowess, and Moria is considered a Ruins & Lairs site.
If Balin is at Moria during the site phase, he may be tapped to force the discard of a corruption card played to a Dwarf character. Balin must make a corruption check immediately after this, and his company then faces an automatic-attack (Orcs - 2 strikes at 8 prowess) not modified by this card.
Discard this card if Balin leaves play or moves to a site not in Redhorn Gate, or if any manifestation of Balrog of Moria comes into play.
"'Here is written in the tongues of Men and Dwarves: BALIN SON OF FUNDIN, LORD OF MORIA...'" -LotRII

THE WHOLE VILLAGE ROUSED (Resource Faction or Permanent-event)
1 miscellaneous MP OR 1 Faction MP
Playable at any Free-hold or Border-hold if the influence check is greater than 6.
If this card is played immediately following the successful influencing of a faction, place this card with the faction. It is worth 1 miscellaneous MP, and gives the controlling player +4 DI against all attempts to influence this faction.
If not played on a faction, this card gives 1 Faction MP that cannot be influenced away.
In all cases, if the site is not already tapped, tap the site when it is played.

WIELD THE BLACK SWORD (Resource Permanent-event)
4 miscellaneous MP
Playable on a company at Himring if the company discards (for no effect) a Lost Knowledge card it controls. Tap this card if the company plays a Valiant Sword; this card never untaps.
If this card is tapped, invert it on the playing surface if a sage in the same company as a Valiant Sword stores a Reforging card at a Haven; only one copy of this card may be so inverted.
Once inverted, this card is placed with the Valiant Sword. This item may never be stored or influenced away, and the following information is substituted for the Valiant Sword's statistics: +3 to bearer's prowess to a maximum of 10 (+5 vs Dragons or Drakes to a maximum of 12). Warrior only: +2 body to a maximum of 11; may tap this item to cancel any Orc, Troll, or Man attack. Item now gives 4 corruption points.
Discard if the Valiant Sword leaves play.

LOOKING FROM MIND TO MIND (Hero Resource Permanent-event)
Playable during the organization phase on a company of 3 or more characters with more Elves than non-Elves.

DO NOT USE IT AGAIN (Hero Resource Permanent-event)
Playable during the organization phase on an item held by a member of a company of 3 or more characters at a Haven.
This item is concealed. It is removed from its bearer (no corruption check is required) and placed face-down close by the company with DO NOT USE IT AGAIN on top of the item.
While concealed, items are worth 1/2 their marshalling point value (round down), give zero corruption points, and are unusable. Concealed items may not be discarded for any reason, and cannot be affected by hazards or resources. If THE ONE RING is concealed, it still gives +1 corruption point to every character in the bearing company.
Discard this card if company size ever drops below 3; this card may be discarded by its controlling player at any time during any of his/her organization phases following the phase in which it was played. If this card is discarded, the item must be revealed immediately (i.e. placed with a character in the company).
"'I say again: Keep it safe, and keep it secret!'"-LotRI

I ACCEPT YOUR SERVICE (Hero Resource Permanent-event)
Playable on a Hobbit character at a Free-hold site other than his home site.
The Hobbit character gains Warrior skill, +1 mind, and +1 prowess. This card cannot be played on the bearer of THE ONE RING, concealed or not, and this card must be discarded if the character on whom it was played bears THE ONE RING.
This character can tap to untap one character in the same company whose home site is the Free-hold where I ACCEPT YOUR SERVICE was played.
"'Little service, no doubt, will so great a lord of Men think to find in a Hobbit...yet, such as it is, I will offer it..." -LotRV

This card may only be turned 90 degrees during any one turn. Cannot be duplicated by a given player.
"...she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad. 'I pass the test,' she said. 'I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.'" -LotRII
