I assume that when a FP player wants to break off a companion (for instance Gandalf or Strider in order to activate a nation or what have you), they must declare the fellowship somewhere... is that correct?
I would assume so because the companions have a different movement rate once separated - but in order to determine where the companions can go, one would first have to determine where the FSP was...

You calculate how far a separating companion can be moved, starting from the Fellowship's last known position, and summing the character's level to the step the Fellowship has progressed so far on the Fellowship track. |

So then, it is theoretically possible to separate a companion (to their full movement allowed) - and if on the same turn, the fellowship is revealed, place the fellowship as many spaces away from their last known position - but in a direction such that if the companion had separated from the FSP on the same turn, it would be impossible for the companion to be on their new spot... The question will make more sense when I can relate the movement to spaces on a map...
Does that make sense? I can see story and game play wise how it is possible...

The rationale behind the Fellowship movement and separating Companions movement is that until a Companion is placed on the map or the company is revealed/declared, you don't know where the Fellowship or the COmpanion really was. So, if after three turns (for example) you decide to separate Legolas to move him to a region 3+2 (his level) areas away, it means that he actually left the Fellowship some time before (actually 3 movements ago) so it really does not matter if you reveal the Fellowship to be 3 regions in another direction. |

That was my rationale for interpreting the results as well. It makes sense from a plot and game perspective - and I am glad to see that the FSP remain hidden (that makes more sense than the alternative).
Thanks for the clarification and keep up the good work on the game! Can't wait to play!!
