Where it came from
Elrond, Moon-Reader, card number 290 from The Hobbit set, represents a specific interpretation of the character as he appears in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary work. Released to coincide with the broader expansion of Middle-earth card gaming, the card captures the wise Lord of Rivendell during his analysis of the moon-letters found on Thorin’s map, a pivotal moment of discovery that propels the company forward.
The design emphasizes the scholarly and celestial nature of the character, utilizing artwork that reflects the serene, ethereal aesthetic associated with the Last Homely House. Illustrators for this series aimed to balance the traditional high-fantasy look with the specific, slightly more whimsical tone of the original children's book. The card was well-received by players for its thematic accuracy and ability to anchor decks centered around the lore and history of Middle-earth.
