Transcriber Notes

• The photograph shows every card with its second face printed upside down. Each companion Hero is read from that inverted face and is given here upright, with its own name and stats.
• Icon-only symbols on the cards (Spell, Intercept, Ranged Attack, Recruit, damage counts, "All", "Per", "Up to 3", "Left", "Pass", and similar) are rendered as the words that accompany them on the card. Where a row has only an icon and no words, the row is given as its keyword alone.
• Card text is transcribed as printed, including the lower-case "forerunner" on Grump and "his Leader" on Revolutionary.
