PSA: Cover reveal today

[Jon Hodgson]

why does the guard standing at (I presume) King Thengel's left side look so whey-faced and...ominous? Compared to the other figures in the painting, he looks like he just crawled out of a barrow.

The actual answer is: because he's going to kill your character.

[Falenthal]

The cover is a spoiler for the whole campaign!

A servant of Saruman is my bet.

I don't understand the degregation of this fine upstanding chap who simply selected the shadiest (and thus coolest) part of the room.

It's a nice cover but I'm really missing ones done by a certain Master Hodgson.

My very thoughts too.

Aragorn first served King Theoden in T.A. 2957, when he was 25 or 26.

No, he didn't. Théoden did not become King of Rohan until TA 2980.

Quite right. I knew it was Thengel, but my typing fingers seem to have a mind of their own.

[Terisonen]

Will buy this: however, I cannot join saying I like the cover.

Art has never been a big consideration for me. Just not something I pay much attention to. If I don't like it I tend to ignore it, and if I do like it I still tend to ignore it often as not
