The Dawn Star is a Ship of Dol Amroth created by Fantasy Flight Games for the The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. Players can obtain it as an Ship-objective in The Grey Havens Expansion.
Biography[]
The Dawn Star is one of the ships given to the player's heroes by Lord Calphon. It is Calphon's personal flagship and is claimed by him to be the fastest ship in the whole fleet of Dol Amroth. The Dawn Star is used in the Voyage Across Belegaer, Flight of the Stormcaller, A Storm on Cobas Haven, and The City of Corsairs scenario. In the City of Corsairs the Dawn Star, as well as, the other ships of the player's fleet are destroyed among the rocks outside of Umbar.
Card usage[]
In the card game, Ship-objectives can only attack and defend against ship enemies. Player controlled heroes and allies can attack enemy ships, but not defend against them. Undefended attacks from ship enemies must be place on Ship-objectives.
Dawn Star is largely associated with defending due to its high defense and Sentinel keyword. The Dawn Star's willpower and attack of 3 is strong enough for regular use in questing or attacking. Its defense value of 4 is strong to be used as a defender and can defend other players with its Sentinel keyword. The Dawn Star's special ability allows its controller to draw an additional card at the cost of raising their starting threat by 3. Its health of 16 cannot be repaired by player cards (Immune to player card effects), but can be repaired by a location card effects.
