For followers, you see Mia standing in front of her airship crew (members like Flynn. Total 30, including Mia) and for Ardwinna, you see the guard of Minas Tirith on parade, numbering roughly 8,000 men. When you focus in each member, you get the images of a name, then a brief glimpse of what they can do.

Above her form are the artifacts of a ruby ring, crystal bracers, and a mighty scepter. For the artifacts, you see the ring, and then Mia glows in power. For the bracers, you see Mia defend against a melee attack using only the bracers. For the scepter, you see it disintegrate a magic door.

She starts having a fit, and collapses to the ground as the man walks quickly away. For his artifacts, you see an image of rigid leather armor, and a pair of grey gloves. For what they do, the armor shows you the same image of the man, walking past the guards. For the gloves, you see the image of the old woman, lying on the ground, now coughing up blood.

~~Akmed~~: You see a large number of undead following this Akmed, who seems to be in charge. For his artifacts, he carries a cross bow and a golden ring with a topaz stone on it. For what they do, you see the cross bow shoot not an arrow, but a stream of ice. For the topaz ring, you see the zombie glow in power.

Kingdom of Elves. You see a map of the area of Greenwood/Mirkwood, and it’s divided into three like a political map; the northeast, the northwest, and the southern regions. For each of the three regions, you see an elf and a name. In the Northwest, the name is Jacques. To the northwest, the elf is a woman named Elenor. In the south, you see an elf named Ypos. As you watch, the section ruled by Jacques spreads out, and absorbs all of the forest and beyond. You then see an image of Elenor and Ypos kneeling before Jacques on his chair. When you ask who the leader is, the image of Jacques glows prominent. For numbers, you see an image of Jacques being hailed as King in front of a large army, roughly four thousand. For individual members, you get these images.

~~Jacques~~: The head elf himself, he fires a massive gun shot from him cross, hitting a far off practice target with ease, blowing it apart with great force. For his specific artifacts, you see the emerald chair, a red cloak around his form, a plain looking slingshot, and a snow globe. For what they do, the elf in the emerald chair is seen being carried through town, saluted and hailed. For the cloak, you see an image of flames erupting from the cloak around the wielder. For the slingshot, you see it fire a small pebble, and watch as the pebble grows exponentially in size, eventually being bigger than large car. For the snow globe, you see an image of the snow globe being raised in the air by the elf in front of some dwarfs, and then the dwarfs turn to snow.

~~Rocky the Golem~~: You see a golem, not as big as some of the others, but before your eyes it lifts off from the ground and flies. It lands on top of a group of dwarves, crushing them with its massive weight. It is frighteningly quick for something so massive.

For what they do, you see him walking on water.

For her artifacts, you see the wand with vines on its side, and the golden spiders web.

For the spiders web, you see it on the woman’s arm, and then it expands into a glowing net, capturing some nearby dwarfs.

Geddoe: You see an image of a one eyed elf, fighting with a sword with incredible skill and speed. For his artifacts, you see a pair of blue boots, and a set of leather armor.

Realm of Numenor:

You the Isle of Numenor before it sank, a vision of beauty and prosperity. You see Ar-Pharazon, the king who declared war on the gods leave on his ships. You see his son and heir, Akmentu, stay behind dealing with one of his ministers. You see an image of Akmentu kissing a beautiful-looking woman who he addresses as his wife, and a little boy rushing up to Akmentu calling him daddy. Then, you see the wave the gods sent to sink Numenor, destroying the entire island, killing thousands. You watch as Akementu in his armor sinks to the bottom, immortal, screaming in grief and rage. You see him looking like a wreck step out of the water onto shore years later, and meeting up with some corsairs. The next image shows Akmentu in much better shape in large decorated hall. The next image shows a corsair named Bartz and a black Numerian named Theodore kneeling before Akmentu, swearing allegiance. For numbers, you see several thousand Corsair and Black Numerians, numbering roughly 5,000, mostly on ships. For individual members, you get these images.

King Akmentu: For what he can do, you see the battle in which he defeated you. For his artifacts, you see the black plate mail, the chakrum, the sword of light, the mask of multiplication, the gauntlet with a dial on it, the belt with a fist on its buckle, and plain gold ring. For what they do, the armor is shown deflecting attack after attack. For the chakrum, you see it disarm Dalir’s sword of light. For the sword of light, you see the battle where it killed Mia. For the mask of multiplication, you see the image of your party experimenting with its powers. For the gauntlet, you see Akmentu raise the sword of light from out of the pit. For the fist with a buckle on it, you see Akmentu practice using the sword of light and chakrum at the same time. For the gold ring, you see an image of a wealthy woman being waited on by half-dressed men.

Bartz: You see a typical corsair, one-eyed and all, sailing on a ship. He wears light armor and a sword hangs by his side. You see his ship board a gondorian ship, as Bartz runs a soldier through with his sword. For artifacts, you see a shield and a talisman with the sign of Eru on it. For what they do, you see the shield struck by a lightning bolt, and see the bolt reflected back on the caster. For the talisman of Eru, you see the corsair captain surrounded by Undead, and the talisman erupts into flames, destroying them all.

Theodore: You see a mighty powerful black Numerian in wizard’s robes, down on one knee before Akmentu. You then see him battling with Gondorian soldiers, casting essence lightning bolts. For artifacts, you see an amulet with many different animals on it, the animals constantly changing in its gaze as you watch.

For what they do, both rings give the image of the man glowing in power. For the flotation stone, you see the floating castle.

For artifacts, you see a huge book almost too big to be carried, you see the pieces of the mind control amulet on a forge.

For the book, you see it turn to a page explaining that the book can answer any question, even what the book itself does.

For the torch, you see the woman holding it up and the air, and her eyes glowing.

The last image is a group shot. You see the floating castle Almekian, and then see twelve airships in its docks (three on each side).

The Haradrim:

The first image is of King Klaus of the Haradrim (who will be pointed out by Deanna) pacing in his throne room. You see and hear several of his advisers trying to shout over each other. You can’t make it all out, but you hear key phrases as “high casualties from the war with Gondor,” “enemies on the borders,” “khand revolution,” “people demand abdication,” and lots of talk of money, and how there’s not enough of it. Suddenly, the door to the throne opens up, and a woman enters. All talk stops as she walks up to the king, comforting him. As you listen, she tells him she has a plan to solve all his problems. She speaks of a palantir, of the artifacts, and how no one could stop the Haradrim if they found the artifacts first. As she talks, the images of the other advisors slowly fade away until they no exist, all but one, an old man in heavy armor. He argues against the woman, but the king gives her permission to hunt the artifacts. She smiles, and the image changes slightly as her plain robes become more elaborate, emblazed with the symbol of the King of Harad on them. When you ask who the leader is, the image of King and the general begin to fade, and the image of the woman begins to glow. The next image you see is of a line of nine Mumakil and many soldiers (approximate 20 soldiers fit onto one mumakil plus their driver, making it roughly 190 soldiers in the Haradrim travel party) marching off. For total soldiers, you see a large army of roughly 6,000 men in the Haradrim army.

Prime Minister PSYLA (She’s back!):With the woman she was controlling freed, we find via the palantir that the real Psyla is a corrupted old humanoid woman living on the isle of Evil with her evil tree god Kementari. The haradrim woman from the vision with the king now rides high on the head mumakil. For her abilities, you see her sweet talking her way into the royal court in one image, and the next image you see her casting a mentalism spell, causing great pain to a former adviser of the king. For artifacts, you a set of prayer beads, a pair of black gauntlets, a paintbrush, and a compass. For what they do, you see Psyla raise the prayer beads to the sky in meditation. For the gauntlets, you see Psyla raise her gloved hand at an approaching Drake solider, and the Drake drops immediately, dead. For the paintbrush, you see her paint a picture of a town, and the picture grows large enough for the line of mumakil to walk through it, and then, they do walk through it, teleporting them there. For the compass, you see the compass project a magical arrow above the compass, showing the path (hard to describe, but it’s not limited to only four directions, but a 3D compass of sorts). NEW: she now wears the chain mail artifact under her robes. For what it does, you see her walk through the ranks of an army, where the army grows sick, too sick to fight.

Kinnison: A mighty Haradrim archer, he stands by Psyla’s side, shooting down many foes from his position on the mumakil. For artifacts, he carries a flag standard emblazed with name of Eonwe. For what it does, you see the line of mumakil marching along. NEW: He now carries a mighty hunter’s horn as well. For what it does, you see him blow the horn, and see his allies rally around him. Also Cloak of Shadows

Ayda: The pilot of Psyla’s head mumakil, she control her mumakil without a set of reigns. Instead, she plays a harp and the animals listen to her commands. For artifacts, you see the harp she is using. For what it does, you see her playing it and controlling the mumakil; as she plays, a bird flies down to her, chirps in her ear, and flies off. Also Fan of Wind Control

Pesmerga: You see a tall warrior in black plate mail, covered from head to toe. He wields a mighty club, and looks intimidating. For artifacts, you see his club. For what it does, you see him smash the ground, and watch as a rip in the earth opens up, swallowing several men whole.

Crowley: You see an old sickly seeming wizard dressed in robes. As you watch, he casts an essence spell death cloud down on soldiers below from on top of his mumakil. For artifacts, you see plain gold ring with an onyx stone on it. For what it does, you see the mage glow in power.

Mazus: You see an old wizard in decent health dressed in robes. As you watch, he casts an essence spell fire ball down on soldiers below from on top of his mumakil. For artifacts, you see plain gold ring with a sapphire stone on it. For what it does, you see the mage glow in power.

~~General Kiba~~: The old Haradrim General from the vision with the King, the only remaining advisor besides Psyla. He commands his own mumakil. He is heavily armored and carried a two handed war hammer by his side. He is old, but still powerful. For artifacts, you see a cloth shirt under his armor. For what it does, you see Kiba taking blow after blow, and still standing. NEW: You se Kiba now fights with a mighty two handed battle ax, black as night in color, but is on fire. You witness him cut down a centaur in half with it with one blow.

~~Maximilian~~: You see a… peculiar looking old man in chain mail, laughing at he tosses a spear from on top of a mumakil. He commands his own mumakil. For artifacts, you see a spear with lightning engraved on the side. For what it does, you see Max throw it, and it turns into a lightning bolt, strikes an enemy down, and returns to his hand as a spear in a flash of light.

~~Sanchez~~: You see a short teen, standing behind Max (above) wearing a jester’s cap. An arrow nicks Maximilian, and the boy casts a healing spell. For artifacts, you see the jester’s cap. For what it does, you see the bell on the cap jingle, and a mighty dragon roars to life, emerging from the desert sands below.

~~Amanda~~: You see a lovely young woman in flowing robes riding one of the elephants. Next to her sits a gong, an artifact. For what it does, she bangs the gong, and everyone around her falls to the ground in pain.

~~Billy~~~~: You see a young warrior in standard Haradrim garb. He holds up an artifact, an orb, and you see him sprout wings before your eyes. He yells in pain, and breathes out fire.~~
