Hope: A character’s Hope score defines the reserves of spiritual vigour and positivity that he or she may draw upon when put in danger. A hopeful character can keep going when physically stronger heroes have already succumbed to despair. Consider the contrast between Frodo and Boromir. Players can choose to spend a point of Hope to tap a player-hero’s energy reserves and possibly push him beyond his limits.

Shadow: Shadow points reflect the marks left on a character when his spirit is tainted by doubt and despair. Starting characters begin the game with a Shadow rating of 0. A hero’s Shadow rating undermines his Hope score, as his spirit is being weakened and corrupted. A hero is considered Miserable as long as his Hope score is equal or lower than his current Shadow rating.
