General Strategy
While somewhat situational, Their Power is in Terror can be a real difference maker against a number of Free Peoples strategies. The ability to wound every ally during the maneuver phase can leave the Free Peoples player without a necessary character, such as Filibert Bolger, Wily Rascal (a particular bane of Nazgul archetypes) or a potentially Frodo-saving Bounder. Their Power Is in Terror can also hamstring the Horn of Boromir strategy, killing an ally hearkened to battle by the possession (Or through the use of Support of the Last Homely House or Swan Ship of the Galadhrim).
Characters such as Elrond, Lord of Rivendell or Galadriel, Lady of Light, with exertion based special abilities can often be killed by this card. Their Power Is in Terror is also a nice set-up for Tower Assassin (Or a finisher after playing Ulaire Attea, The Easterling) and, of course, the death of an ally can activate threats.
