Does anyone know the title (from FoTW rules insert)?What player cards do you think that will be?What scenarios?What mechanics? etc.
Last Saga Box Speculation
The Fires of Doom!
Ally Aragorn, Spirit Hero Eomer, lore hero gollum.
Shelob's lair, Battle at the gate, climing up doom and dropping the ring in.

... spirit hero Eomer?
Lore hero Gollum seems a valid one

We already have Shelob's Lair? Battle at the Gate and Mt. Doom sound right and maybe Sam in the Tower rescuing Frodo. Doubt we get Scouring but hopefully as a GenCon or gamenight quest.
According to the Flame of the West insert, the final saga expansion will be titled "The Mountain of Fire".

Its the missing piece to my Grima lore deck.

If it was unclear, I was being "tongue and cheek" with this comment.

Also if I recall correctly Gandalf says to the hobbits that the entire quest was training them for the scouring (or rather liberation) of the shire. I think the movies dropped the ball here since this was the climax for the hobbits, so I do hope FFG includes it.
And now a serious post
I believe we will get Eomer hero, i find leadership more possible than Spirit
I cannot think of a second one right now, maybe Gwaihir hero would be an outsider
i have a crazy idea stuck in my mind though, Fellowship hero will be Sam with Frodo a kind of objective ally. I think it is more thematic and this way Sam will be included somehow since we got an ally version of him lately and after all he carried the ring for a while
Sam Gamgee, the true hero of the trilogy.

I haven't read the Return of the King for like 8 years now, and I don't remember everything (and I just don't envoy the movies - sorry :/) but why Eomer?
Why Eomer? Because to this point, if you play with core + saga, you have access to cards for every major character *except* Eomer.
Sam. Has to be Sam.
While Spirit would make the most sense as he needed enormous willpower to get up that mountain, the box will include a leadership and tactics hero. So that would make him tactics.
With the second one anyone's guess is possible really, but leadership Eomer would be logical imo.

We just dont have a spirit version of Eomer. We got a Tactics Theoden and Spirit Theoden, so why not add a spirit Eomer for Spirit Rohan?

Like many, I predict Sam witl be neither, as he'll be of the Fellowship sphere with the Ring-bearer trait.
i predict Sam Gamgee will be the ringbearer of the last boxSam Gamgee, the true hero of the trilogy.
I've been thinking that all along...there has to be a non-frodo ring bearer given how all the cards reference the trait, not frodo, the way the hobbit sagas just referenced Bilbo by name.
And Sam was briefly the ring bearer during Return of the King, so it definitely fits. Maybe we'll get 2 ring bearers, a new frodo, and a Sam?
It would be pretty cool if we got a Sam Ring-bearer. Then you could go back and play through the whole campaign with him instead of Frodo.

Fellowship Sam Gamgee
Spirit Aragorn
Leadership Eomer
I was going to suggest Spirit Aragorn because he hasn't been made yet and he seems like the one character guaranteed to get representation in every sphere
Reminder that in the books Sam was perfectly willing to let the Ring go to the Enemy when Frodo died because it's a servant's place to die at the feet of his master.
He only didn't go through with it because he realised Frodo wasn't actually dead.
Wake me up when we have ally Elladan and Elrohir.

Neutral Aragorn Hero... BOOM!
Personally, I hope that the battle at the Black Gate and the destruction of the Ring are both rolled into one epic climactic quest. After all, the point of the battle was to distract Sauron from the Ringbearer, and it only ended when Frodo's quest succeeded. It'd be interesting to, say, divvy your heroes up between two separate staging areas (one with Fellowship Aragorn, the other with Fellowship Frodo), where success at the Black Gate makes it easier to climb Mount Doom and destroy the Ring.
That might be a pipe dream, but this is a speculation thread!
I suspect that they'll be two separate quests where how long it takes for you to get the ring into the hot molten magma is how long you have to survive at the Black Gate.
