Pretty much nail on the head ref how i see it regarding Jon's question Interesting thread though. On a more practical note: (and apologies if this has been mentioned) how would he wear the ring? I doubt it would fit snugly (and certainly not securely) onto a Talon (too big)... Whilst he could perhaps force someone to forge it onto a chain for him... bar the style or Dragonista bling element, that would be no use as you need wear the ring... Nose piercing? Cool looking perhaps? (though Tolkien didn't say much ref Dragon fashions and anyway likely wasn't up-to-date on the vagaries of such things ) ... either way same problem ref the Ring as above chain example... But had Smaug gotten the ring, and somehow managed to wear it? Would he be invisable? Were he invisable - presumably Bard would be killed, and Lake Town burned and sunk... The Elves would stay at home partying in the woods with their "keep off the Grass" signs and slightly over the top approach to strangers walking into their glades... and Bolg and the Boyz? Still leg it to Erebor? If they did, would they Fall under Smaug's Dominion? Remember he cant easily take the ring on or off (presumably..although in this instance we are somehow presuming he got it on...) therefore hes just an invisable voice... could be tricky convincing them... Mind you- admittedly i'd assume his flames were visiable, and his voice (obviously) would still be audiable.... and the sound of his flight, roars and his tail smiting mountainsides etc... therefore i suppose he could easily put bolg and his boyz from Gundabad and the misty mountains under his Dominion... But, if he did wear the Ring, how long before Sauron would know? Instantly? If not he'd likely find out soonish. What would happen then? Last edited by Butterbeer : 01-26-2014 at 06:39 PM. |
