Tell Us Of Your People
--No one knows your people better than you do. You are the arbiter of your people's lore and their place in this world. When you play as the Elf, you are speaking on behalf of all Elves. --You are their champion, their spokesperson,
the one they sent when the world was in peril. Represent them. Let us know about them, and bring your people's interests with you wherever you go. Do not forget where you came from, hero.

Finish Them
When you attempt to defeat an enemy you hold an Advantage over,
tell us how and roll +Any. If you do not have an Advantage over them, youcannot attempt to Finish Them. An Advantage is something you need to getthe upper hand, such as teamwork or the element of surprise.
Which stat you use to Finish Them depends on how you intend to defeatthem, or what your Advantage is. If multiple stats are appropriate, use the oneyou like best.
What Is An Advantage?
An Advantage is any means of fictional superiority you hold oversomeone else. When you do something that sounds like anAdvantage, then you have an Advantage. If they are better than you,
you do not have Advantage, and you will need to find a way to turn the
tables if you want to Finish Them.
Some of your moves can be used to get an Advantage. Keep Them Busyand Bound In Service easily grant Advantages. Your Gear can sometimes
grant you an Advantage through clever usage. The answers you receive fromSpeaking Softly or Looking Closely can usually be used as Advantages, but
not always. It depends on how useful the answers are, really.
19If you Finish Them by...
...overpowering them, ambushing them, or using the innate talents of yourpeople, roll +Blood.
...relying on your luck, tenacity, or virtue to outlast or impress them, roll+Courage.
...demonstrating superior skill, by waiting for just the right moment, orwith panache and style, roll +Grace.
...acting on a plan, using the terrain to your advantage, thinking thingsthrough, or relying on your senses, roll +Sense.
...working things out, acting calmly and reasonably, or helping them withtheir problems, roll +Wisdom.
...relying on a Companion's help or skill to do the job for you, damage oneof their relevant stats and roll +Bonds with them. +Bonds is equal to howmany sentences’ worth of Bonds you have with them, between +0 and +3.
On a 10+, you destroy them - tell us what that means. On a 7-9, you dealdamage to a stat that makes sense and lose your Advantage over them. If anally was Keeping Them Busy, they aren't anymore. On a 6-, you lose theAdvantage, and you must face retaliation.
If you Finish Them using a weapon with Ammo, use 1 Ammo. If youhave no Ammo, you cannot Finish Them with that weapon.
Examples of When to Finish Them
When you leap onto an enemy from behind, plunging your sword into them,Finish Them with +Blood.
When you trade blows with them repeatedly for an hour, outlasting everythingthey have, Finish Them with +Courage (or +Iron).
When you hold your arrow for the perfect moment, waiting, waiting, NOW,Finish Them with +Grace.
When you reveal your master plans, three steps ahead of every move they made,Finish Them with +Sense. You don’t even need to follow through the last step- simply proving you could have may force their defeat.
When you nurse them back to health after their grievous injuries, Finish Themwith +Wisdom.
When your Ogre pal comes in like a wrecking ball, fists swinging, slamming intothe enemy giving you trouble, Finish Them with +Bonds.
20
Overcome (Blood)
When you attempt to avoid, redirect, or prevent the harm somethingwill cause, roll +Blood. You can Overcome any obstacle, threat, Cut, or Movemade against you or an ally, if you are in a position to act against it and havethe means to stop it.
On a 10+, you stop the obstacle, threat, Cut, or Move from causing harm.
On a 7-9, choose one: You can pay a price to take the 10+ result, or you cancreate a temporary solution. A temporary solution will delay the threat, butwhen time is up, it'll be back in force - the Overlord will tell you when.
Overcoming harm with a Ranged weapon does not cost Ammo.
Examples of When to Overcome
The warrior’s blade comes slamming down and you raise your spear to deflect it.
Roll to Overcome.
The floor suddenly opens up beneath you - a Pit trap! When you try to leap aside,
roll to Overcome.
A wild boar charges your friend, so you try to tackle it away! Roll to Overcome.
Keep Them Busy (Courage)
When you act as a distraction or buy some time, tell us how and roll+Courage. On a 10+, you buy as much time as you need, and their attention isall on you. On a 7-9, you can only stall them for a short time, and they willretaliate against you when time is up. While you Keep Them Busy, youcreate an Advantage.
If you Keep Them Busy using a weapon with Ammo, use 1 Ammo. Ifyou have no Ammo, you cannot Keep Them Busy with that weapon.
Examples of When to Keep Them Busy
You stand in the doorway, holding the missing door as a shield while the enemiestry to slam through you. Roll to Keep Them Busy.
Your friend tries to sneak past the guard, so you go up and inform them of an‘incident’ you ‘saw’ down the road. Roll to Keep Them Busy.
The zombie claws at your buddy’s feet up on the ledge, trying to grab him, so youdrop down behind the zombie and put it in a Full Nelson. Roll to Keep Them Busy.
21Get Away (Grace)
When you need to get somewhere out of reach or out of sight, tell uswhere you're going and roll +Grace. On a 10+, choose two. On a 7-9, chooseone: You get there quickly, avoiding any harm along the way.  You get there quietly, drawing no attention.  You grab someone nearby and bring them along with you.
If you are wearing armor with the Clumsy tag, you take -1 to Get Away. Examples of When to Get Away
You leap over, under, and through the buzz saws of the trapped hallway. Roll toGet Away.
The troll reaches at you, up on the cliff face, and you attempt to climb higher, up,away, out of its reach. Roll to Get Away.
You see the guards approaching, and duck behind a corner, hoping to avoid beingseen. Roll to Get Away.
Look Closely (Sense)
When you closely examine a situation or a location, roll +Sense. On a10+, ask three questions from the list. On a 7-9, ask two. On a 6-, ask onlyone. Anyone can answer, but the Overlord has the final say. The answers youreceive may give you an Advantage.  What is going on here? What do my senses tell me?  Is something hidden or out of place? If so, what looks suspicious? Tell me about ______ . How could it hurt me? How could it help me? Tell me about ______ . What are they doing? What will they do next? What will happen if I ______ ?
Examples of When to Look Closely
You scope out the area, trying to find out the best way to ambush the comingraiders. Roll to Look Closely.
The political council guards their words closely, eyeing each other with suspicion,rarely letting anyone get a word in edgewise. Trying to figure out who stands for whatis difficult. Roll to Look Closely.
You come across a fight - a bunch of dock workers are slugging it out with thepostal service. You have no idea what’s going on down there. Roll to Look Closely.
22
Speak Softly (Wisdom)
When you have a quiet chat with someone, you may roll +Wisdom. Ona 10+, ask them three questions from the list. On a 7-9, ask two. On a 6-, askonly one. The answers you receive may give you an Advantage.  What can they tell us about ________?  What were they doing, and what are they going to do next?  What should I be wary of when dealing with them?  What do they want, and how could we help them get it?  What would they have us do next?
Examples of When to Speak Softly
You raise your hands up, offering to parley. The enemy has you at their mercy -they grant your request. Roll to Speak Softly.
You sit at the counter, asking the barkeep about the town. Roll to Speak Softly.
You and the gremlin breathe a sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped the raftplummeting over the waterfall. But now you’re stuck together on this tiny rock, at leastfor a little while, with nothing but each other for company. Roll to Speak Softly.
The Elf has been really cagey lately, and you want to put a stop to it, right now.
You pull them aside, say “Listen, lad, we’re in this together, so you need to be honestwith the rest o’ us here.” Roll to Speak Softly with them.
Talk Sense (Grace or Sense or Wisdom)
When you speak with conviction and ask someone for help, tell uswhat you want from them and why they should help you. If they're willing tolisten, roll.
When you detail your plan and their place in it, roll +Sense.
When you appeal to their emotions or their desires, roll +Wisdom.
When you impress, dazzle, or trick them, roll +Grace.
On a 7+, they do as you ask, to the best of their ability. On a 9-, you owethem a favor. The more you ask of them, the more they'll ask of you, and theycan cash in at any time - even right now, before they do as you ask.
On a 6-, they choose one:  The favor you must do for them is expensive, difficult, or demeaning.  They cannot do what you ask of them, and will tell you why.
23Examples of When to Talk Sense
The politician’s plan will not appease the Overlord. You know this, but thepolitician says there is no better way. When you try to convince him to stand and fight,providing the logistics behind your assured victory, Talk Sense with +Sense.
While the troll is stirring their stew, ready to drop in the Dwarf for their meal,you tell them how nasty dwarves taste, but also, how delicious sheep are, and you knowjust where some nearby sheep are, too! Roll to Talk Sense with +Wisdom.
There is no rational way you could ever convince this man that what you’re doingis good for him, or his family. So you lie. You lie a LOT. Roll to Talk Sense with+Grace.

Hope: When you are filled with Hope, instead of rolling two six sided dice, roll three and take the highest two dice as your final roll.

Despair: When you are filled with Despair, instead of rolling two six sided dice, roll three and take the lowest two dice as your final roll.

Companions who are in Despair cannot use their Moves, cannot take damage for you, and cannot help you.



When you take damage, either by making a Move or paying a price, choose a stat and mark it. Sometimes you will not get a choice, and a stat will be damaged for you. While a stat is damaged, you are in Despair whenever you roll that stat. When an enemy's stat or a Companion's stat is damaged, they cannot use it.

You cannot mark a stat that has already been marked. When you heal, remove a mark from one of your stats. When you take damage while all of your stats are already marked, you get Taken Out.


Taken Out
When all of your stats are damaged and you take further damage, you are Taken Out, and no longer able to help out for the rest of the scene. Tell us how you got Taken Out. What happened to you? What is likely to happen to you next? Can the fellowship save you from your fate? If so, how?

If you survive being Taken Out, you will be able to continue play starting with the next scene, with all of your stats still damaged.



End of Session
At the end of a Session (or the beginning of the next, if you forgot about it), the fellowship answers these three questions:

 Did we save or protect a community in need?
 Did we strike a blow against the Overlord and their minions?
 Did we learn more about the world and its peoples?

For each "yes" answer, the group chooses one of the following options. You may choose an option more than once.

 Each player refreshes one piece of their Gear to its full value.
 Each player chooses one stat to Heal. It does not have to be theirs.
 The fellowship and the Overlord each choose one player to level up.

You cannot be chosen to level up if you are the highest level player or you have already been chosen to level up. If at least two players are tied for highest level, anyone can level up. Nobody actually levels up until all choices on who levels up have been made.
This message was last edited by the GM at 13:12, Thu 21 Apr 2022.

Level Up
When you Level Up, increase your level by 1, then choose one optionfrom your playbook's Advancement list. Mark off the option you chose - youcan never take it again.


forge a bond
When you bond with someone over something you did
or shared together, record a new Bond with them on your
sheetU describing the connection you two now holdG A Bond is
a single sentence describing how you feel about them or what
you two have done togetherG If you already had a Bond with
them, you can add another BondU or rewrite an existing oneG
You can never have more than three Bonds with someoneG
If you Forge a Bond with someone outside the
fellowship, they will join your cause as a CompanionU so long
as the Bond holdsG
the bonds that bind us
When two or more players who have Bonds with each
other work together side by side, they roll with HopeG
When one of them must pay a price, another may choose
to pay that price insteadG
the bonds that break us
When your actions harm an ally, immediately erase one
of your Bonds with themG When you have no Bonds with a
member of the fellowship, you cannot work alongside them
without getting in each othersY wayU and you both roll with
Despair when working togetherG


bound in service
When you call upon a Companion for help, you may
damage one of their stats to create an advantage related to
that statG If all of a CompanionHs stats are damaged and
theyHd take further damage, lose a Bond with themG
When no one has any Bonds with a Companion, they
leave the fellowship

Enemies and obstacles in Fellowship work similarly to the fellowship'sCompanions, but they will act a bit more freely. They have several stats, andeach of their stats gives them access to a Threat. So long as they have that stat,they pose the listed Threat to the fellowship.
Unlike Companions, which damage themselves when they do something toprevent them from doing everything, the only thing stopping a threat fromcontinuing to be a problem is the fellowship. When an enemy's stat becomesdamaged, they lose the threat attached to it.
The simple way to think of this is, when the fellowship deals damage tosomething, they are actually taking away its abilities to stop them. "Damage"in Fellowship is not necessarily violence and bloodshed, but rather, it is thestrength, skill, tact, or plan that you use to neutralize a problem. This is whythe 10+ result to Finish Them lets you “destroy them, with whatever thatmeans.” These are not necessarily by lethal means, as there are many manyways to keep someone from wanting to hurt you or stop you anymore.
Often, they will not need to go all the way through and damageeverything a threat can do to get past it. It is in the fellowship's best intereststo neutralize their enemies quickly and efficiently and get past them, becausethey don't have the time or the resources to waste on every single thing thatgets in their way.
For example, let's say the fellowship must fight a wild Varg that got ontothe path. A Varg looks like this:
Varg: These massive wolves are large enough for a full grown ogre toride, and surly enough to make an ogre think twice about doing it.
Cruel Beast: A Varg is wild and malicious, and cannot be tamedeasily. Anyone trying to ride it must Pay a Price.
Go For The Jugular: A Varg that gets up on top of somebodyinstantly deals damage to them.
These stats include their Name and a Description first. The Descriptionwill always be in italics, and has no rules associated with it. Below that, in Bold,
184
are the Varg’s stats: Cruel Beast and Go For The Jugular. They will keepthose stats whether they are a Companion or an enemy. The descriptions afterthe stats are the Varg’s Threats. These Threats only apply while this enemy isunder the Overlord’s control, and are additional moves or abilities the enemywill use to threaten, hinder, or harm the fellowship, or to protect themselves.
In addition to the threats listed on the Varg's stat block, it always has allof your Cuts as well. You can use the Varg to Separate Themor Put Someone OnThe Spot or any of the other Cuts you'd like to use. Even if they damage itsability to Go For The Jugular, if it is a particularly tenacious Varg or thefellowship continues to fight it, it can keep using your Cuts until they defeat it,
escape from it, or befriend it.
An enemy that has had all of its stats damaged is destroyed. Thefellowship doesn't need to get a 10+ on Finish Them for every enemy theycome across to defeat it entirely. An enemy that has been destroyed cannot useyour Cuts, and is no longer willing or able to stop the fellowship.
If you were attentive, you may have noticed that the Varg's stats are thesame as the ones listed in the Orc's Companions option in Chapter 3. That isbecause:
Every enemy is able to be recruited by the fellowshipif they sit down and Forge a Bond with it.
When an enemy becomes a Companion, they lose the threats attached totheir stats, and keep just the stats. When working with the fellowship, theyfollow the Companion rules instead of the enemy rules.
Non-violence is assumed within several core rules of the game. Thefellowship only has one Move for actually harming and destroying enemies.
Everything else is for dealing with them in other ways.
When something is in their way, they can always Get Away from it. Whensomeone is preventing them from doing something important, one of thefellowship can always try to Keep Them Busy. You always have the option to tryto Talk Sense instead of violence.
The fellowship is perfectly capable of fighting when they must, but it isimportant to encourage them to try other options as well. Not everythingmust be to the death.
There is one type of enemy that cannot be recruited and cannot bereasoned with: Barriers. A barrier is a threat that is simply in the way, andthey are usually forces of nature, obstacles in the path, or magical interference.
They are otherwise interacted with and engaged in the exact same ways thatany other enemy would be.
185The Rule of ThreeSometimes you need many of the same threat in a single scene. Wolvesdon't hunt alone, bandits ambush in groups, and the overlord has their armies.When you need many of the same Threat at once, that's when the Rule ofThree applies.
The Rule of Three states that three or more enemies working togetherform a Group, thirty or more enemies form a Gang, and three hundred ormore enemies form an Army. They gain a Stat with the same name and a fewunique rules, but otherwise function like normal. These stats are:
Group: This enemy can act against two people at once. When this enemyis destroyed, this stat is damaged, or this is their only stat left, replace theGroup with two normal enemies.
Gang: This enemy can act against everyone at once. When this enemy isdestroyed, this stat is damaged, or this is their only stat left, replace theGang with two Groups of this enemy. This stat can only be damaged byDangerous or Area attacks.
Army: This enemy can act against an entire location at once, and itsattacks have the Area tag. When this enemy is destroyed, this stat isdamaged, or this is their only stat left, replace the Army with two Gangs ofthis enemy. This enemy can only be damaged by Dangerous or Area attacks.
Mechanically, this makes groups much harder to hold off or fight against,because you cannot Keep Them Busy easily. A Group needs two players workingtogether to properly Keep Them Busy, since they can act against two players atonce, and a Gang or larger cannot be Kept Busy without some serious workingfor it. You would need a bottleneck to fight them in, or a Move that allows youto do so, or some extreme support, like an army of your own, a giant robot, adragon, or something similar.
So when you have three or more Wolves working together, they form aGroup of Wolves, which looks like this:
 Wolf Pack: A group of pack hunters, on the prowl.
Pack Hunter: A wolf is never alone, and they gang up on theirprey one at a time. When someone tries to fight the wolves alone,
they are always put on the spot.
Loyal: Wolves stick together and look out for each other.
When this stat is damaged, they will co-ordinate to let theirwounded flee safely before backing off.
186
Group: This enemy can make moves against two players at once.
When this enemy is destroyed, this stat is damaged, or this istheir only stat left, replace the Group with two normal Wolves.
When the Wolf Pack attacks the fellowship, they can attack two players atonce. When someone is Keeping Them Busy, they can still attack or make Cutsagainst one other player. If their Loyal stat is damaged, the Wolves willretreat to live to fight another day, as normal - being a Group doesn't changethe mechanics of any of their normal Threats.
In this way, the pack of wolves works the same as they would individually- groups continue to function as they normally would and generally follow thesame flow of play, just harder to deal with due to their numbers.
The Rule of Three generally only applies when combining the samethreat together. 15 Skeletons and 15 Zombies will make a Group of Skeletonsand a Group of Zombies, for example. However, if you want to make twoenemies into a bigger, more cohesive threat and represent them workingtogether closely, you could have the above groups become a Gang of Skeletonsand Zombies. In that case, you would combine all of their stats and threatstogether. When the Gang is defeated, they would then break up into a Groupof Skeletons and a Group of Zombies. In this way, the Rule of Three can beused to let a group of enemies work closely as a team, even if they aren’t all thesame enemy. The Gang of Skeletons and Zombies would look like this:
 Gang of Skeletons and Zombies: Mindless undead, working towards acommon purpose.
Just Bones: Skeletons do not take damage from anything that would slipright through them or is made to harm flesh. Most piercing weapons, rangedweapons, slashing weapons, and poison or fire-based attacks will have verylittle effect on a Skeleton.
Weapons Training: Skeletons almost always carry a weapon of some kind.
A skeleton has a single tag from this list: Armor (1 Use), Piercing, or Ranged.
Painless: Zombies do not stop attacking until they are destroyed. If theytake damage while all of their stats are already damaged, they are destroyed.
Simpleton Hivemind: A group of zombies acts as a single unit, moving asone towards the nearest source of living meat. They are easily duped andconfused - when this stat is damaged, the gang loses focus, stops hunting,
and will only attack if you get within arm’s reach.
Gang: A gang can make moves against everyone at once. When thisenemy is destroyed, this stat is damaged, or this is their only stat left,
replace this enemy with a Group of Skeletons and a Group of Zombies. Thisstat can only be damaged by Dangerous or Area attacks.
187Set Pieces
You can mix and match enemies and barriers to create interestingencounters and fun obstacles for the fellowship to encounter, but sometimesyou want something more. Sometimes you want to go a step beyond. Whenthat time comes, you will need a Set Piece.
A Set Piece is a collection of threats that cannot stand on their own, andwork together as a cohesive whole. Set Pieces are for things like multi-stageboss fights, a long and connected encounter, chase scenes, obstacle courses,sports tournaments, and all sorts of other large-scale events. A Set Piece cancarry an entire session by itself! They are no joke.
Set Pieces cannot be destroyed. On a 10+ result from Finish Them, orwhen any other move would say to destroy them, they take damage instead.
For an example of a Set Piece, here is the Stone Colossus:
Set Piece: The Stone Colossus Army of One: A giant statue of stone, brought to life and used as amachine of war. Its defenses are many, and its weapons carry several tons ofstone behind each blow. If either of these stats are damaged, the Colossusis destroyed.
Massive Stone Body: The Colossus's massive body is built to last. Thisstat cannot be damaged by anything less than siege weaponry and highexplosives. If this stat is damaged, the Colossus falls over, and everyone nearit risks being crushed.
Power Core: The Colossus has a weak point deep inside of it - amechanical or magical core that powers it. Anyone near the core risks beingset on fire by its intense heat. If this stat is damaged, the Colossus falls apart,and everyone inside it risks being crushed.
 Armored Exterior: The Colossus is nearly invincible. If you don't dealwith its thick outer shell of stone, you cannot hope to stop it for good.
Six Feet of Stone: The Colossus' armor is several feet thick, and cannotbe damaged by anything less than siege weaponry and high explosives. Unlessthis stat is damaged, you cannot harm the Colossus' Massive Stone Body.
Maintenance Tunnel: There is a secret entrance into the Colossus, but itis well hidden, hard to reach, and locked. Unless this stat is damaged, youcannot get reach the Colossus' Power Core.
188
 Hands of God: The Colossus' massive arms and legs are its main threat.
They can crush you like a fly, and stopping them requires some seriousfirepower of your own.
This Right Hand Of Mine: The right arm of the Colossus holds amassive sword, which can be used to destroy anything it can hit. It swingsslowly, but the blow covers such a large area it can be difficult to dodge.
Anyone directly hit by this weapon is Taken Out, damaging all of theirstats.
The Left Arm: The left arm of the Colossus is free, but it can use it toswat off anyone trying to harm it. Climbing the Colossus is dangerous whilethis arm is functional.
Pillars of Stone: The legs of the Colossus can crush anything underfoot.
The Colossus can simply walk through anything in its path, destroying all
vehicles and structures that get in the way, and it leaves massive footprintswherever it goes. If this stat is damaged, the Colossus becomes immobile,
and crashes to the ground, potentially crushing anyone below it.
The Colossus is three threats in one! The primary threat, the Colossusitself, is the only one that strictly must be overcome to defeat it, but while itsarmor and its massive stone arms exist, it is significantly more threatening.
The players must contend with the Colossus' attacks and overcome itsdefenses in order to get at it properly. It is difficult to fight and will likely takeseveral scenes or an entire Showdown to deal with it, and running may be yourbest option during a first encounter, but that's what a proper Set Piece is allabout.
A Set Piece is an entire encounter all laid out like this, with every pieceactively working with or protecting the other elements of the Set Piece, or laidout in stages where each piece of the Set Piece must be overcome one at a timebefore the fellowship can move on to the next part of the encounter. Set Piecesare excellent for boss battles, extended trials, and journeys through adangerous place. When using a Set Piece, it always uses the Challenge storystructure, even if you use it to spice up a long journey.
See Chapter 7 for several already crafted Set Pieces.
189Generals
The Overlord's Generals are special threats, a little different from thenorm. To create a General, pick any single threat from Chapter 7, and makeit a Threat to the World. They have access to all of your Overlord BasicMoves, but not your Overlord Core or Custom moves.
You do not need to change any of the General's other stats, although youcan if you want to add some originality to them. They do not get any extrathreats over the basic version of themselves. Having access to your OverlordBasic Moves gives them plenty of power, allowing them to act in your place inmost regards.
When a General uses an Overlord Move that references Bonds(Heartof Iron, Twist the Knife), they use your Overlord’s Bonds for determining ifthey trigger the Move or not. They can erase your Bonds to use Heart of Iron.Your Generals can also have whatever minions they need to be effective.This doesn’t mean you should give all of your Generals an entire Army, unlessit happens to be your actual, main Army that they are leading. Your Generalsonly take whatever forces they need or you deploy them with.
A good place for your Generals to be is wherever your current MasterPlan says your forces are. As the plan proceeds, give them more dangerousforces. If the fellowship attacks a General scoping out a location for one ofyour New Plans, they should have only their personal retinue with them, ormaybe just a scouting patrol - the General might not even be there yet.
If the fellowship doesn’t get there until the General is already ExecutingThe Plan, then maybe they’ll find a full-on army waging war, or an eliteinfiltration force just waiting for the word to strike, with the General at thehead of those forces. The closer a plan is to completion, the scarier the forcesworking on the plan will be.
If a General is kicking their butts, you can always remind them thatretreating and regrouping is an option. Generals are a serious Threat to theWorld, and everything is on the table when you're fighting one of those. Theymay not be quite so dangerous as the Overlord is, but they are no sloucheseither. They’re the Overlord’s best, and they should give the fellowship a hardtime.

A Source of Power“Source of Power” is a phrase tossed around a lot throughout Fellowship, but what is a source of power, exactly? A Source of Power is something in thisfantasy world that is extremely valuable, powerful, or important, for anyreason. The One Ring is Sauron’s Source of Power, but a Source of Powerdoesn’t need to be something the Overlord already has. For example, the LifeTree that all elves draw power from could be a Source of Power, one withdrastic consequences if the Overlord takes it.
Sources of Power are usually either hidden away in a secret place, kept safeby a protector, or are the pride of their kingdom. There is no such thing as aSource of Power that isn’t surrounded by myths and legends stretching backages, and at least one player should be able to Command Lore about any givenSource of Power you come across. They are not something that should everfall out of whatever place they are kept, and the Overlord is actively seekingthem to take for her own power.
Some example Sources of Power:  The Colossus, a massive stone creature whose fiery heart could power allsorts of incredible machinery or eldritch rituals.  The Emerald Skull, an artifact of supreme necromantic power. No oneknows what exactly it does, but none who hold it ever hold it for long.  The First Bird To Fly. So successful was this creature that it now livesamong the stars, as a constellation. Any who can reach it gain
unparalleled control over the skies themselves.  The Wishmaker, a stone obelisk that will grant
your fondest desire, but only once, and perhaps
not as you’d like.  The Ruby Eye, an ornate pendant that can
see through time. Peering into its depths
has driven many an oracle mad.  The Eternal Torch, the source of all fire.
Lesser fires are drawn to it, consumed by
it, and its heat has no equal.

Barriers

The punishment can come in many forms, but once it is revealed, it mustbe consistent. If breaking the taboo summons a golem, it will always summona golem, no matter who breaks it. Common punishments are immediatedamage, immediate banishment (either from the zone or into a holding areaelsewhere), or summoning monsters to attack the transgressor.

Earning Fellowship
Fellowship is earned through action. When you have spent some time getting a feel for a community and speaking with the people in it, theOverlord will tell you what this community needs, what they are lacking, or how the Overlord has harmed them. If you can solve this problem, you will earn their respect, their admiration, and their Fellowship.

When you have earned Fellowship with a community, no matter how you earned it, the Overlord will ask you to pick one of 3 Fellowship Moves. The player who picks the Move is either the one most aligned to the community or the one who played the largest role in earning their Fellowship. The Move you pick applies so long as you keep Fellowship with that community. Fellowship is lost if you betray them, or if you revoke their Fellowship for some reason, or if the Overlord destroys the community.

Forge a Bond
When you bond with someone over something you did or shared together, record a new Bond with them on your sheet, describing the connection you two now hold. A Bond is a single sentence describing how you feel about them or what you two have done together. If you already had a Bond with them, you can add another Bond, or rewrite an existing one. You can never have more than three Bonds with someone.

If you Forge a Bond with someone outside the fellowship, they will join your cause as a Companion, so long as the Bond holds. You can always give something Precious to someone to immediately Forge a Bond with them.

A note on Forging Bonds: Forging Bonds is something you should do constantly. Whenever two players do something cool or emotional together, they should Forge a Bond. When you make a new friend, Forge a Bond. When you help an enemy out, Forge a Bond. Bonds are super easy to make and the fellowship should be making new ones constantly.
