You are playing Nightmare mode.

Progress cannot be placed on non-Uncharted locations in the staging area.

Forced: When the players would travel to Shrine of Morgoth, if there are 3 or fewer double-sided locations in the victory display, return Shrine to Morgoth to the staging area and flip it to its Lost Island side. Remove all progress from each Uncharted location in the staging area and shuffle them so that the players do not know which one is which. Then, choose a new location to travel to.

Begin with the standard quest deck and encounter deck for The Fate of Númenor scenario.

Remove the following cards, in the specified quantities, from the standard encounter deck:

2x Forbidden Coast

2x Cursed Temple

2x Flooded Ruins

2x Drowned Graves

2x Lush Jungle

1x Shrine of Morgoth

3x Steep Plateau

3x Aimless Wandering

1x Mysterious Fog

1x Servant of the Deceiver

1x Lingering Malevolence

1x Drowned Dead

Then shuffle the encounter cards in this Nightmare Deck into the remainder of the standard The Fate of Númenor encounter deck.

Finally, flip this setup card over and place it next to the quest deck. Its effect remains active throughout the game, which is now ready to begin.

Note: As print-on-demand cardstock does not match that in the original scenario, the Uncharted deck from the original scenario should be replaced with the Uncharted deck reprinted in this Nightmare deck. This has already been taken into account in the cards listed above.
