	Description Edit \| History

A 4-Card Promo pack, distributed by Fantasy Flight Games, released at Origins 2002.

It includes two cards which were later released with the Lord of the Rings: Sauron expansion, The One Ring & Watchful Peace, as well as the exclusive release, The Black Gate.

The Black Gate card is two sided, and adds a bit more of a challenge for the Hobbits to win via Military Victory, which was a path to victory added in from the Lord of the Rings : Friends & Foes expansion.
