At the end of Passage of the Marshes, Leadership, Tactics and Spirit accepted the +2 starting threat penalty, while Lore got The Searching Eye burden (Speak Your Promise acts as a placeholder for that card).

Under the Black Gate at the end of Journey to the Cross-Roads: Oliphaunt 1x, Haradrim Archer 1x, Man of Harad 1x, Haradrim Soldier 1x
