INFORMATION
The hero version of the site The Under-Leas lists "Gundabad" as its surface site. However, "Gundabad" is a region, not a site, thus it is impossible to move to the "Gundabad" surface site. The minion version of The Under-Leas fixes this error and the surface site on this version is "Mount Gundabad", which is a site located in the Gundabad region.

BALLOT ITEM # 3:
Are you in favor of issuing the following erratum?

THE UNDER-LEAS (hero version)
Change This:
Adjacent Sites: Gundabad (0), The Iron‐deeps (6), The Under‐grottos (8), The Under‐gates (6), The Under‐vaults (7)
Playable: Items (minor, major, greater)
Automatic‐attacks (2):
Orcs (1st attack) ‐ 5 strikes with 7 prowess
(2nd attack) Opponent may play as an automatic‐attack one non‐unique hazard creature from his hand normally keyed to Ruins & Lairs [ ]
Special: If the Witch‐king of Angmar is in play as a permanent‐event, it must be used as an additional automatic‐attack (discard after use ‐ ignore result of defeat).
To This:
Adjacent Sites: Mount Gundabad (0), The Iron‐deeps (6), The Under‐grottos (8), The Under‐gates (6), The Under‐vaults (7)
Playable: Items (minor, major, greater)
Automatic‐attacks (2):
Orcs (1st attack) ‐ 5 strikes with 7 prowess
(2nd attack) Opponent may play as an automatic‐attack one non‐unique hazard creature from his hand normally keyed to Ruins & Lairs [ ]
Special: If the Witch‐king of Angmar is in play as a permanent‐event, it must be used as an additional automatic‐attack (discard after use ‐ ignore result of defeat).
(changes in bold for clarity)


CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR VOTE:
If you vote YES, then companies will be able to move between The Under-Leas (hero version) site and Mount Gundabad, its surface site.

If you vote NO, then The Under-Leas (hero version) will remain unchanged. It will be up to each playgroup and tournament judge to decide whether or not Mount Gundabad will be allowed as a surface site of The Under-Leas (hero version).

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
- Most players currently ignore the "Gundabad" typo and play as if it says "Mount Gundabad."
- It is within reason to argue that The Under-Leas (hero version) has no legally usable surface site if this poll results in a majority NO vote.

ICE already ruled on this. It's also obvious.

It's Mount Gundabad.
