Sabriel could probably win this without the help of Mogget

[bunn]

I can only assume that all the people voting for Brienne and Jaime to win in a battle against Sabriel and Mogget, have only read A Song of Ice and Fire, but not the Abhorsen series, and don't really understand what they are up against.

Sabriel is way more resourceful than either Jaime or Brienne, and has powers they don't.  But Mogget is essentially a Vala.  Actually, it occurs to me that Mogget is more or less Morgoth.  Morgoth, if someone had turned him into an adorable cat at an early stage in his career.

And Jaime Lannister?  You are not Fingolfin.  You aren't even Boromir.  If someone dumped you into either the Old Kingdom or Middle Earth, I'm pretty sure you'd be crying to go home within a week.

Brienne could probably make a go of it in Middle Earth, or indeed the Old Kingdom, but she's no match for Mogget!Morgoth.

Tyrion. Can see Tyrion hiding in the Shire, although he might find the less-invaded parts of Gondor more familiar.

I thought about Tevildo, but ultimately Sauron is kind of Morgoth's servant, and Mogget would never settle for that.

I'm suspect that the Greyjoys would have a whale of a time being Corsairs of Umbar. They probably wouldn't let themselves get vanquished by an army of the dead, either. Unless they remembered the whole "what is dead will never die but rises again harder and stronger" thing, that is.

Tyrion wouldn't cope with the Shire. Not enough brothels. (Unless you want to believe that it was a veritable hotbed of brothels, but Tolkien censored them away.)

The Greyjoys got vanquished by Robert Baratheon!

I think any self-respecting Corsair should be able to eat their squidly guts.

And their dastardly plotting was thwarted by half a dozen idiots prone to dropping axes and throwing ones at every opportunity. I didn't say they'd be GOOD at being Corsairs, merely that they'd have a whale of a time trying. :-D

You just want them to have a whale of a time whatever they are up to :-D
