This is a strong site 2 for any all-hobbit Fellowship, but it relies on you either not going first or having some form of site manipulation (Such as Hobbiton Woods). Preventing all skirmishing is useful for the otherwise weak hobbits, who often take time to set up. It also means you can make as much twilight as you want at site 1. This site can be disadvantageous if there are other non-hobbit companions in your deck (Boromir, SoD; Gandalf using cards such as Depart Silently etc.), particularly if an opponent plays The Prancing Pony (Which you must then neglect), or if you draw said companions early. This site has few other advantages for non-hobbits - It is a river, so it works with Legolas, SoT (Although you're normally better off with one of the forest site 2s), it also works with Gift of Boats, but you rarely need to increase the move limit at the beginning of the game. Note that some shadows (Particularly archery decks) are still effective without skirmishes, and are not much impeded by this site.

In Pre-Shadows Multipath, this card also has synergy with Goldberry.
