A Game of Rings (or a silly crossover game)
I had this idea the other night while looking at my copies of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings sitting next to each other on the table, and no don't worry it's not about asking for a crossover submod or anything like that. It's more of a timepassing game on the forum.
So let's say Sauron was defeated whether in the War of Sauron and the Elves or The Last Alliance, doesn't really matter. In a desperate bid to escape the Dark Lord used arcane magics to escape Middle Earth and arrives somewhere in Westeros with only The 9 Rings of men in his pocket just after Eddard Stark is executed for treason. Being a cunning opportunist Sauron decides to make the best of a bad situation and decides to conquer all of Westeros and Essos and anything else he can get his grubby paws on.
In order to do this he enlists you! You are a representative of the Iron Bank of Braavos, you've been from Qarth to Astapor, from Dorne to The Wall, from the Summer Islands to the Port of Ibben. You know everything and know all the major players in the world. Through a mixture of threats and bribery Sauron will have you divulge everything you know and he wants your council.
The big question is...who should I give these nine magic rings to?
So all knowing scribes, which hapless lords, knights, kings, princes, mercenaries etc etc would you deliver into the Dark Lords clutches to number amongst his Nazgul of Ice and Fire?
You can choose any man in Westeros, Essos or anywhere else mentioned in the books but you have to give a good reason because if you give Sauron an answer he doesn't like it's off with your head, and that's if you're lucky. They have to be alive, so onyone who dies before ned Stark is out of the picture, no Rhaegar, no Robert, no Jon arryn, no Eddard Stark.
Let the choosing begin!
