Nidavellir: Thingvellir

Only the Elvaland with the highest bid at the tavern being resolved may take a Camp card; everyone else takes a card from that tavern in bid order. (pp. 4–5)

The other players take from the tavern in bid order, and any remaining Dwarf card is discarded before the next tavern is resolved. With 2 Elvalands, the Camp-taker also discards one of the three tavern cards, leaving the second player a choice between the other two. (p. 4–5)

At the start of each turn, before Dwarves enter the taverns, reveal Camp cards of the current Age until five are face up; if none were taken last turn and five are already face up, reveal none. After Age 1 distinctions are awarded, discard all remaining Camp cards without shuffling them into the Dwarf discard pile. (pp. 4–5)

No. Keep them in your Command Zone until the end of the Age: enlist them before Age 1 distinctions or Age 2 final scoring, choosing one of the two listed classes for each card. (pp. 14–15)

Once placed, a Mercenary cannot be moved. Its placement can trigger a Hero recruitment; resolve that recruitment before you continue placing your Mercenaries. (p. 14–15)

At the end of Age 1: enlist Mercenaries, place Ylud, then assess troops for distinctions. At the end of Age 2: enlist Mercenaries, place Ylud, resolve Thrud’s departure, resolve Brisingamens’ discard power, then score. (p. 24)
