Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight; calling for aid. War is kindled. See; there is the fire on Amon Dn; and flame on Eilenach; and there they go speeding west.
Gandalf; The Return of the King

Brave the Paths of the Dead; battle the Corsairs at Pelargir; and stand fast against the Witch-king and the armies of Mordor during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields! The fifth The Lord of the Rings Saga Expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game; The Flame of the West draws directly from the key events of the first half of The Return of the King as it returns our attention to Aragorn; the Grey Company; and the plight of Gondor; even while the fates of Frodo Baggins and the One Ring remain uncertain.

With its 165 new cards; The Flame of the West introduces three new scenarios with a decidedly epic bent. War is kindled; and your actions will determine whether or not Gondor stands. Fortunately; you will not ride alone. The Flame of the West introduces a new version of Aragorn to lead you; as well as two new heroes; two boons; and thirty player cards (three copies each of ten different cards) that represent the strength of the bonds that run between the Men of Gondor; the Riders of Rohan; and the Elves and Dnedain of the Grey Company.
