====== The Saga of Elendil (1R114) Wiki ======

===== General Strategy =====

The Saga of Elendil, and its brethren card The Tale of Gil-Galad, is a unique, vitality-increasing condition. The first to cards to increase vitality in the trading card game, The Tale of Gil-Galad and The Saga of Elendil also offer a !skirmish !special !action text to discard the condition for a !strength +2 bonus. Endurance of Dwarves, the [Dwarven] variant, is non-unique, but only provides a strength +1 boost.

The Saga of Elendil is often played on Aragorn, Ranger of the North, where the added vitality can result in an extra **!defender** bonus (or, bearing Aragorn's Bow, an extra directed wound during the !archery phase). That said, counting on The Tale of Gil-Galad, The Saga of Elendil, or Endurance of Dwarves for exertion based !special abilities is a risky strategy. Discarding the !condition on an !exhausted companion means instant death, making cards like Hate and Orc Patrol potentially devastating.
