Changes made. Thanks Dain.
And there are  possessions in the Battle of the Five Armies, or the White Council, I can’t remember, but they’re a bit different...

I’ll now finish off the culture, as I want to get onto some orcs!
Let’s start with the final riddle, and the most deadly for you and your opponent (and also ties nicely in with Gollum, Small and Slimy):
 All Things Devours
Event • Maneuver
Riddle.
Exert Gollum and choose an opponent who must name a number. Then, reveal your hand. If that number matches the number of characters revealed, discard Gollum and another minion. If it does not, you may play a minion revealed for -4 twilight.
’Slays king, ruins town, / And beats high mountain down.’
H1 R 126
Things To Help Us
Event • Shadow
Spot Gollum to choose one: play a condition or possession from your draw deck; or remove and play a non- Shadow possession from your draw deck.
’But it must wait, yes, it must. We can’t go up the tunnels so hasty.’
H1 R 142
That one’s just a nice toolbox card.
• It Slipped From Us
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot Gollum.
Each time a Shadow card is Locked (its game text is made blank) by a Free Peoples card, you may discard a card from play to add a burden.
Maneuver: Spot Gollum and discard this condition to discard a Free Peoples card borne by a Shadow card.
But who knows how Gollum came by that present, ages ago in the old days...
H1 R 131
That one is part of a cycle of Shadow conditions to go with the cycle of Free Peoples events that Unlock things, just to make your opponent think twice before Locking your cards.

Ooo, I hope you return to  at some point in your set.

Should be "All Things Devours", shouldn’t it? I also think it should be worded "Exert Gollum to choose an opponent...". I also think the twilight reduction is a little steep...maybe -3.

"Spot Gollum to choose one", methinks. I don’t know exactly what your possessions will be, but you could add possession to the first bit and then tweak the second bit to be "non- Shadow possession". And then you could even change that boat of his to a possession!

No apostrophe in "its"...that’s a BIG pet peeve of mine.  "It’s" is ONLY used as a contraction for "it is"; "its" is a possessive pronoun. Get it? Got it? Good. 
I think I’d limit the first ability to discarding cards. MAYBE limit the maneuver ability to FP cards borne by cards...that way, you can affect Smeagol, too.  |

Sorry about my grammar, it’s also one of my pet-hates. I’ll change them in a second (and you’re right, the quote is ’Devours’, I’d just never noticed it before!)
The possessions are of the sticky kind 
And originally all my orcs were culture, but then I changed them all to  when they changed the culture, as it also made more sense for the Trolls, Giants and Wargs to be than , plus they never actually go into Moria in the Hobbit.
Thanks a lot, Dain. Anyone else?

Oh yeah, and I changed his boat to a possession.

| Just make sure that for Things To Help Us, you clarify the second ability only works for non- possessions. I know it seems to make little difference--why would anyone remove to play a possession when the previous ability lets them do it for free?--but that is how you end up with unintended combos. I can’t think of any off-hand, but I’m sure a clever Shadow player would find some way to abuse removing that in certain situations. |

Not that often, but it’s another anti-Locking ability.
