Dreadful Spells question

Event card: Dreadful Spells

Play if a shadow army containing a Nazgul is adjacent to, or is in the same region as, a Free People's Army ...

FAQ has this card - but only clarifies besieged strongholds. My question:

What is the definition of 'adjacent' - can you use this card to hit a FP army that is adjacent on the board in that the 2 regions are next to each other, but seperated by an impassable black line (such as Helms Deep/Edoras)?

I think adjacent probably means yes, any region next to another (impassable terrain irrelevant), but wanted to check.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, it is mentioned in the rules that adjacent means any two region with a common border which is NOT impassable.

Thanks! Yes you're right, it's on page 5:

If the border between two Regions is completely divided by a black line (which denotes impassable terrain), those Regions are not considered adjacent.

Bit odd in this case, as it's flying Nazgul casting the spells, and they ignore impassable terrain!

You are free to move your Nazgul to this region and then playing the card.
Of course, this needs two Action Dice.

Okay, that works for me

Bit more difficult to pull off in a 4 player game.

Thanks
