Imladris' Ring Hero

(1/21) > >>

AmosVogel:
At moddb there is a fellow fan named TheToadSageJiraiya and said something reffering to Imladris ring heroe: <it would make more sense than to use elrond as a ring hero>

So, we all know that Lord Elrond always hated the One:

'All movie versions'

-The last alliance: -Isildur!!!! Destroy it!!!-
-The Hobbit: -He must be hunted down and destroyed once and for all- (he was not reffering to the One, but anyway ^^
-The Lord of the Rings: -You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed-

The lore is the lore, but we all want to see 'What if' situations, personally i love to see him as a new High King of the Noldor, but if we all follow the lore he would never ever take the ring for himself, nor even touch it.

So lets think, who are those characters that were in rivendel and desired the one?

*Galadriel? - But she is the main heroe of Lothlórien, so... NOT
*Saruman? - Its not The hobbit time, so theres no Saruman at Rivendell -also main heroe-, so... NOT
*Gandalf? - The same as before, so... NOT
*Cirdan? - a former ring bearer, so... NOT
*Lindir? - WTF!! really!!, of course NOT < Ha! nice joke man!! hahaha

So, theres no heroe suitable besides Lord Elrond, thats why he must stay! Here i write two alternatives to the ring mechanic:

Lets be honest, Rivendell is the only faction that wants to destroy the One, so why not take it to the fortress or the library or the forge & hide it -unitl the building is destroyed-
to the eyes of the enemy.

Or take it to the fortress & automatically appears a mini-horde named 'the fellowship of the ring' ^^ carrying the One & running away from the map (the same mechanic of the mordor or gondor allies but viceversa, instead of arriving, leaving the map), the thing is that mini-horde would not be formed of the heroes we all know, but of ordinary people: a hobbit, a ranger, a man, a dwarf & an elf. So every faction could be able to kill them, without any restriction to see Aragorn killing the Frodo for the ring ^^

That mini-horde would be visible for everyone, also not controllable for the imladris player & may run to the farthest corner to dissapear forever of that game ^^ But of course, it could be killed by a small armored army or several heroes.

At the end we will have a 'What if' Ring-Elrond & in the other hand, the following of the lore :)

Hope you like it!

Adamin:
Good ideas. We also thought about something similar already.

Though while it is true that Elrond never actually expressed any interest in using the Ring, you could say that every good Ring Hero is a "What if"-Character. Galadriel maybe openly desired the Ring, but in the end declined. Gandalf rejected it from the get go, although assuming that he could do many good things with it (at the beginning).
So saying that these people could take the Ring is not as far away from saying Elrond could do so as well, even if it's not as obvious. He's certainly powerful enough.

AmosVogel:
Ohhh Mr Adamin!!! Its a pleasure to share the ideas!!!! Thanks!!

BuddhaCAT:
I agree with Adamin. The concept of a Ring-hero is highly speculative and is only in the game to make it more interesting. For the different factions there are different, more or less, suitable heros who may carry The One. The only thing that this changes is the characters powers and general power on the battlefield. Therefore I find it most interesting to have a new "Ring-concept" for Rivendell.

Yes it is true that Elrond is a person who is not "fond" of the ring, even though he would be able to wield it and possibly become much closer to his own elvish ring Viliya. I find him a good ring-hero as he is now, but let´s talk about a new concept.

The Rivendell elves, with Elrond as their leader, are not so likely to "use" The One as a acctual weapon. As is discussed at The council of Elrond, many suggestions are given to what to do with the ring. Some are linked to Tom Bombadill (ME:s own trollface) and others to a direct destruction of the ring. One however is rather unique and, in my opinion, suitable for the Noldor elves, that is: To send the ring over sea to the West.

In game-terms this would mean that after Imladris have captured the one Ring, they would (loudly thinking) take it to the citadel/fortress and then be able to "buy" a power saying "The Ring goes west" after that power is bought the ring disappears and cannot be used that game. Imladris as a faciton should get something "in reward" for sending the ring west, possibly some kind of power or training ability. This is just a concept.

BuddhaCAT:
Why the "fellowship idea", according to me, is rather odd is because it does´nt seem to give Imladris any powers or good-things from getting the ring, Imladris get the ring and then they send it away with some fellowship that can be killed rather easily by the other factions. The only thing you do is to create a new Gollum.
