Game of thrones middle earth

The special forces of Middle-earth are certainly Sauron's Ring Wraiths - nine powerful soldiers, who can move quickly riding horses and fell beasts. Former Kings of Men, the Nazgul are expert swordsmen and they have the power to hurt their human enemies with a high-pitched scream that weakens and demoralizes them.

The Wraiths are able to create more of their kind through their Morgul Blade daggers. Their leader is the terrifying sorcerer, the Witch-King of Angmar.

The force that would instill even more terror among the defenders of Westeros would be the Ents - they have the numbers, the size and the strength to take over all seven kingdoms. The ancient, walking, living trees , led by the noble Treebeard can throw gigantic boulders, crush human-sized soldiers with a simple stomp and demolish buildings with ease. As long as there is a single carpenter in the Seven Kingdoms that is swinging an ax at a tree, Treebeard and his army will have a reason to go to war.

After he received Anduril, Aragorn, the heir to the throne of Men, used it to summon the deadliest fighting force in Middle-earth - the Army of the Dead. These armed ghost troops are capable of cutting enemies down and are invulnerable to any kind of attack. At first glance, Aragorn's ghost army seems unstoppable but the disadvantage of these particular soldiers is that they can be used only once - that is as far as dead people's allegiance goes. If they are to be called upon in a war against Westeros, it needs to be done at the right moment.

Formidable archers, possessing greater speed, strength, skill, flexibility and agility in comparison to normal humans, elves are Middle-earth's greatest foot soldiers. They are insanely disciplined, extremely dangerous both in melee combat and in ranged attacks and best of all - they are consistently tireless.

Should they be put on the front lines, only Westeros' bravest, most enduring and skilled soldiers will be able to hold their own against the elven war machine. The riders from the Horselord Kingdom are so inspiring, terrifying and bold that any human enemies they stand against are more likely to flee for their lives or even join their ranks rather than actually meet them in the field.

It is irrelevant to Rohan's cavalry if they battle more formidable opponents or if they are outnumbered. As shown in The Return of the King and The Two Towers , Rohirrim will charge in the face of death and win even if it would mean the end of every single one of them. To counter the Nazguls, Westeros will be forced to summon their finest killers. The Faceless Men possess the ability to change their appearance as well as access to various types of poisons, not to mention the fact that they have been trained in combat for the entirety of their lives.

These emotionless, stone-cold killers will definitely have the resilience and sufficient skill to take on the Nine just as long as the Ring Wraiths don't choose to spend the war in the air on the back of their flying beasts, safely out of bows' range.

Mance Rayder's strong wildling army 's greatest assets were their massive mammoths, vicious, 2-meter tall Thenn warriors and above all else - their Giants. The rare but incredibly powerful and quite intelligent oversized humanoids use massive weapons such as big bows and arrows and they would be more than a match for Middle-earth's Ents.

Furthermore, the wildling people come from Westeros' most hostile regions - north of the Wall so they are no strangers to magical creatures and overpowered beasts. Westeros has its very own version of the Army of the Dead but it operates in a different way. Possibly northern Europe. This could account for the long winters.

In the absence of melting ice caps, it would point to a different axis point than Earth. The angle of the axial tilt depends on the plane of the orbit. The more it tilts, the longer the seasons. The longer time under radiative flux from the sun. Longer summers. When the obliquity decreases, winters last longer.

Temperature and weather would be stagnant. The planet that is on the show has less tilted poles. Or the Great Wall of China, which was built to keep out the Mongols, which in this case are the Dothraki. Westeros sounds short for western Europe. Essos is a fledgling corporate state that will be ruled by Exxon, which used to be Esso. Ultimately they will absorb the Lannisters in a leveraged buyout.

I know Winterfell is the northernmost part of the land mass before the Wall and the uncharted area above the Seven Kingdoms. Taken as a historical allegory it almost works, if you explain away the long winters with the same logic Biblical scholars explain how Methuselah lived to be in his thousands.

Except those dragons. What is up with those dragons? Western dragons had wings, arms and legs. The dragons on the series are a subcategory of the dragon species called wyverns, which are dragons without arms. The arms are attached to the wings on the series.
