ReleaseNotes
In other words, Sting is a braindead choice. You will always include Sting, because you will always have need to give Frodo a +2 strength boost and the only other +2 option has no game text. In addition, the ability itself is bonkers because who wouldn't want to just look at your opponent's hand for what is effectively free? Combine it with the twilight-clearing element and we have a card whose auto-inclusion is rivaled only by The One Ring itself.
In the end, we have opted to make Sting strictly worse than Glamdring, which has the exact same ability without being problematic (since Gandalf's vitality is so much more precious). Frodo's version is unreliable: 4 cards will let you see half of your opponent's hand, but if you wish to repeat the action to try and get a closer look, you will be left wondering if the second batch of cards contain any overlap with the first or not.
The twilight reduction cap has also been halved, limiting its ability to play cards for free, particularly when combined with the unreliable repeatability.

Decipher Notes:
There is no cultural enforcement on this card because every deck is required to play with Frodo. This is true of any card that requires only the Ring-bearer with no additional enforcement. The cost of the special ability, exerting a Hobbit, is undercosted for the utility it provides.
