Re: "The beacons are lit!" (8/13: Erelas, Min-Rimmon, and Calenhad)

And here's what you get along with Min-Rimmon. The initial threat or twilight adding makes this seem like a bit of a waste, until you notice you can use it to remove threats as well. The catch? It requires a site type that you don't see much with (or , for that matter): mountains. But that's kind of the point, trying to encourage some unusual sites be used with these cultures, much like Eilenach was trying to do with forests. Eilenach is in the middle of a forest, while Calenhad is one of the higher-in-the-mountains beacons, so to me, at least, it made some sense. Maybe that's JUST me.

I know that Gondor and Rohan don't often use mountains or forests, but what if you made the text: "When you play [beacon], the fellowship's current site becomes a [geography keyword] until the end of the turn/regroup phase]."

It kind of bastardizes your beacons as they stand, but that might play well with the "Beacons on sites" idea. Or you could make it "stack on a site--current site is a [geography keyword]."
