	'''Shadows''' is the fourth base set in the Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game, the first set in the [[War of the Ring Block]], and the eleventh set overall. It was released on November 3, 2004, and is the first base set whose release was not directly tied to a film. Instead, cards could represent characters or moments from any of the three Lord of the Rings films.

	The set contained 266 cards (60 commons, 60 uncommons, 60 rares, and 86 starter deck-only cards). Five rares and one ~~premium~~ card from the set had [[Tengwar]] versions produced.

	Shadows introduced a number of significant changes, including new shadow cultures, a redesigned site path, and the introduction of resistance as an attribute for all companions, not just the ring-bearer. These changes are significant enough that most players view the game in two eras: pre-Shadows (or Movie) and post-Shadows.

	With the introduction of the redesigned site path, Decipher ~~reprinted~~ a number of sites from previous sets with modifications to fit the new site path. They generally kept their original name and abilities, but no longer had a site number, and had a lower twilight cost to account for the twilight added by the [[region]]. If the site had been a [[sanctuary]], that keyword was removed ~~in Shadows~~, since the sanctuary keyword was now granted automatically to any site played in position 3 or 6. Some sites had additional changes, which are noted below.
