Two questions:
1. Fellowship cannot go to FP stronghold captured by SF. Is it correct?
2. What happens if fellowship is located in FP stronghold and then it has become to besieged and then captured by SF?

Thanks

1. The Fellowship can go anywhere. The only place they can't go is a FP stronghold when the fellowship is revealed by the hunt.

2. nothing happens to the fellowship. The fellowship never goes into a besieged stronghold like armies and leaders, it is just in the same region as the stronghold.

Or an FP City when revealed. If the Fellowship is in an FP Stronghold that has been captured by the Shadow, it can gain no healing and is subject to a Hunt reroll when moving until declared or revealed elsewhere.

This is not exactly correct. The Fellowship is considered to be in the Stronghold if it is held by the FP. In fact, if Companions are separated when the Fellowship is in a besieged Stronghold, the Companions may not leave it. If the Stronghold is held by the Shadow, the Fellowship is considered to be in the Region rather than the Stronghold itself.

If the Fellowship is in a besieged FP Stronghold, any Companions may only separate to the Stronghold, and Hunt rerolls are generated by the besieging Army and Nazgul in the Region. Other than that, the siege has no effect on the Fellowship (healing can still occur, etc.).

If the Stronghold is captured while the Fellowship is in it, the Fellowship is considered to be in the Region (as explained above). No further benefit can be gotten from the Stronghold, and the conquering Army, Nazgul and the Stronghold itself will generate Hunt rerolls until the Fellowship is declared or revealed elsewhere.

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys. It does! :)
Another one clarification. So if stronghold has been captured by SP, fellowship loses ability to heal there. Is it correct?

Correct. The Fellowship can only heal in an FP City or Stronghold that is controlled by the FP.

Yes. As long as the Stronghold itself is controlled by the FP (and belonged to them originally), the Fellowship can heal there. A Region containing a Stronghold under siege is "friendly" to both sides, so when the Fellowship is in an FP Stronghold under siege it gets both the benefits of being in a Stronghold controlled by the FP and the penalties of being in a Region with a Shadow Army. Of course, the Stronghold benefits depend on whose Stronghold it was originally.
