Klappentext: The Fantasy Role Playing Game set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s World ” Their eyes fell on him and pierced him¸ as they rushed towards him. Desperate¸ he drew his own sword and it seemed to him that it flickered red¸ as if it was a firebrand. Two of the figures halted. The third was taller than the others… In one hand¸ he held a long sword¸ and in the other a knife; both the knife and the hand that held it glowed with a pale light. He sprang forward and bore down on Frodo.” – The Fellowship of the Ring.
