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.

The Silmarillion would certainly have turned out quite differently if the Valar had put Morgoth into a cat's body when they released him from Mandos. For one thing, he would have been asleep 16 hours out of 24, thus significantly reducing his time available for mischief-making. And Feanor could have just let him bat the Silmarils about until he got bored with them.

The more I think about it, the more I think the Valar were missing a trick with the 'be a cat' idea. It's inspired!

Admittedly the Silmarils would end up under the sofa a lot, but that still seems a great improvement over what actually happened to them.
