Westeros (Game of Thrones) vs Team Sword

[Scooby Doo]

Team Sword

Ascendant Lord (Elder Scrolls Online)
Malenia (Elden Ring)
Talion (Shadows of Mordor)
Abyss Watchers (Dark Souls III)

All in their prime want to conquer Westeros and rule it, the leader of this team is the Ascendant Lord and team has perfect team work. How far can they get, can they be even stopped?


They get transported to Westeros during Season 1 of Game of Thrones.

I just saw this video recently and was trying to ponder decent matchups with a "Legion" of them as referenced in Dark Souls III which would mean 5000+ of this Artorias derived murderknights rampaging through everything.



As usual Scooby Doo beats me to it.

But seriously, they blitz through most of the Dark Souls III Bosses with less than a dozen losses.

Just imagining five thousand of these guys rampaging through Westeros is absolutely glorious. Based on how good Gundyr does or the like, maybe the Mountain Clegane can take two or three of them down before he's stun locked and shredded into armor plated bits. I imagine them emerging from the murky depths of the Long Night like the Others from the final season of Game of Thrones murderizing everyone only you know... not as lame as the final season.

It's nice you gave them three new Knight main characters for the Undead Legion to serve alongside though. That's nice. If any of them can help set up bonfires, we can get a no limits fallacy of Legion warriors returning to battle.

What if Abyssal Watchers couldn't resurrect? Do you think the other three could coerce auxillary's or make up a new army from the natives to serve them?

Cause 5,000 Watchers would be too few to hold more than a city or two so they'll need to build an army.

Doesn't the Elden Ring lady have wings and can fly? And isn't she super fast? She could probably solo the armies of Westeros then. Sounds like the only real threat against her would be an arrow barrage.

Well Talion is a Captain of Gondor and has a pretty solid humble personality that can inspire people. But I don't think he really shined as an inspiring and unifying Leader like you see in a Bioware game or some such. He obviously can match anyone in courage, will and integrity and thus be a icon of someone to epitomize but that's still different from being able to use your presence to organize and command.

Having Melania as a literal DemiGod could certainly command respect and intimidate people, but the Westerosi have their own faiths. And Melania is a bit too barbaric to really command respect from the smallfolk. But as a leader of a Warband her martial prowess and focused personality could likely bring warriors under her banner.

Can't really say much about the Elder Scrolls chap.

So yeah, I think they'd still have problems in bringing Westeros under their long term control even if they can smash every opponent on the battlefield. They'll still need to find important local Lords to ensure a longer peace.

She has very limited flight, overall she's a beast in physical combat but her main weakness is fire so she'd stomp everyone not a Dragon and a Dragon might low-key annihilate her if it lands a direct hit with its flame breath.

Hmm the Ascendant Lord in ESO is a Baron who created his own Anarchist Cult but I don't think in this scenario creating a Cult following of Anarchists is beneficial to their long term goals so honestly Talion may be their best diplomat.

Plus glorious Wildfire!

Wildfyre?

Whatever its called, they have an actual Pyromancer that deals in such things which has always been an amusing observation to me, especially since its apparently such a notable and well known position.

Plus the Brotherhood of Banner types that worship R'hllor, the Lord of Light. It'll be fun having Melania blitz through a bunch of flaming swordsmen types ala Kill Bill style. Though honestly with your talk of Anarchist Cults and the whole idea of rebellion and upheaval, shoring up the support of revolutionary leagues that protect the Smallfolk and target the decadent and petty nobility might be a better idea.
