Introduction
296 AL
Gondor, the Eighth Kingdom, home to the citadel Minas Tirith, the citadel of the Dunedain kings of old, capital of a broken people and broken men. The line of Isildur and Elendil all but spent.
A Thousand Years ago, the Men of the west lived for centuries, stood above men like kings in even the lowest of stations and were united in good government and rule, abley able to navigate the challenges and political intrigue of the world while maintaining a simple honest existence.
The centuries following the Dragon's conquest nearly destroyed them. The near Two centuries of rule and the many challenges it wrought had led to conflict after conflict.
The Iron Throne, for all its stability and grandeur, had been nothing but a blight to the Lands of the Dunedain people. Every Famain, Sickness and plug seemed to target them with greater and greater intensity than the rest of the continent, each time ending more and more of their livelihood and people.
Each time the Sons of Numenor seemed to make progress, none was made, Now we are here with the Last Son of the Dunedain Kings Aragorn lies waiting for the world to end his life and free him of the Curse of this world.
Aragorn II Telcontar of the House of Elendil our hero everyone, the 18 year old High Chieftain of Gondor, the most hated (And most desirable bachelor) in Westeros, currently a orphan ruler with a limited support network and hated by most of Westeros for things he was never apart of.
What are you doing:
(Choose 1)
[]Drinking in Bree: Trying to avoid going to court and dealing with Denethor.
[]Preparing to go to Barrowton: To work out the trade deal involving the navy you loaned to the other houses. Hopefully they will pay what is owed.
[]Going into the Forest: To try to pray and see how long it takes you to chicken out of starving yourself to death.
[]Going Fishing: You enjoy the sea and fishing, one of the few things you enjoy left in this world.
AN: Hello this is an attempt to make a GOT/ASOIAF crossover with LOTR, please take care to judge gentally, I know about both to an able degree, but some things have changed to fit the new timeline. Also I am going to enjoy this. Plus I work better with established settings for now.

Beginnings and the Pain of Now
You looked at the Lady Dustin and then the Finance report. In your short life, you had expected such bullshit, nothing went well if you were from Gondor.
It was Denethor's idea to use this as a way to finance the rebuilding of the nation's infrastructure and no one wanted to trust Littlefinger's way of finance, where he got said capital or even bother paying it at the interest rate Baelish was asking for.
A 9% interest rate for the largest loan we've ever seen...it was too good to be true. What Baelish was asking him to do was sell his kingdom for tainted fools gold.
It was the first time Denethor smiled at any of your decisions you've made since taking official power, you've also forbid Petyr Baelish from ever returning to your lands.
However that triumph was quickly struck down by the realization of this expense report. Barrowton, Flint's Finger, Sea Dragon Point and Stoney Shores and even Bear Island had refused to pay what was owed.
You gritted your teeth. "Explain this injustice...NOW!!!" Your voice, despite your fears, anxiety and general lack of confidence in your own abilities, boomed like thunder as you slammed the document on the table.
The order echoed into the hall as Lady Dustin sat unimpressed at your display of authority. "Lord Elendil, the contract clearly stated that the Fleet and its assets can be moved to other houses with a port, as long as provision and coin are provided to the men who are currently serving."
She continued. "And I have provided provisions and Food for the men in their nine moth services as did my compatriots."
You stood dumbfounded, she had as the report said. "But the payment…"
She raised a hand. "The debt has changed hands, as noted in paragraph 3 of the agreement."
You looked at the agreement and noted the loophole, how had Denethor missed this, how had he missed this. Hell how had Boromir missed this, the deal was rock solid.
The curse had struck again it seemed, they should have expected this. Of all the things they had left to lose, they had to all but lose the fleet. The White Fleet of Gondor!!
It wasn't even fully paid off yet!! They just paid the overhaul and repair bills from the Greyjoy rebellion. Once again the World has taken steps to crush your people and its economic future.
"Seven Million...SEVEN MILLION!!!" You proceeded to rip your chair to pieces. "YOU BITCH!!"
Barbrey Dustin was many things but soft was not one of them. "Remove him."
….
You had a bucket of water dumped on you by Faramir who had a few bruised fists. "I take it went to hell."
You looked down to see you had the Ring of Barahir, and only the Ring of Barahir you had been stripped naked and beaten with sticks. "There was a loophole in the contract, and I called her a bitch and destroyed a Chair."
Faramir sighed. "The Curse?" He knew as well as you did, the curse was to blame.
You nodded. "What else could fuck up a perfectly good trade Document in witch the one offering has a net loss and enriches everyone else save the country of origin."
"So they didn't pay." Faramir sighed, in all the years alive, Faramir was a source of strength for many people.
You stuck out your tongue. "She didn't show it but she was smug about not having to pay us, she got what she wanted and didn't have to pay anything in terms of capital save the bare essentials. Witch went to the crews anyway."
Faramir handed you some pants and the both of you sat down in the mud. "Once again...we've been robbed."
You sighed. "I should have never left the Forests, being a Ranger is easier than being a ruler."
Faramir nodded. "But it's your duty….and mine to keep our people safe as well as we can. It's all we can do at this point."
"Our best isn't enough anymore...Gondor is dying Faramir, I'll be the last of my line and our people will fade into myth, just like Numenor." You said. "My bloodline is all but spent."
Faramir got up. "Your not dead yet Aragorn...don't give up on our people, don't give up until the bitter end." It hurt to see him wiser than you, but he had a point, you weren't dead yet.
You sighed and got back up. "We better tell Denethor...he might destroy the room this time."
You gave a chuckle. "I'm more Afraid of what Boromir will do, he might take it as an act of war."
Faramir rubbed the back of his head. "He won't...we still need them."
You got dressed and moved onto your horse, and rode towards Gondor, to a home that despite everything, you would still give your life for.
"You smell terrible Strider...when was the last time you took a bath?"
You grinned. "Two weeks."
Faramir facepalmed. "No wonder we didn't get paid."
…..
(You have 8 Actions)
Diplomacy: "The Master of Laws Quit."...."WHAT!! That's my 6th Master of Laws!!"...."Everyone fucking hates you Aragorn."
[]Break the News: You better tell them the News about what happened.
[]Reorganize the Council(Diplomate): Once again everyone not name Denethor has quit, even the Maester left.
[]Try to find Allies: It has come to your attention that the larger houses of the north are screwing you over again...maybe you were thinking to big, let's hope the smaller houses have better sense, honor and money.
[]Visit the Night's Watch: If there was one place in Westeros in a worse shape than Gondor it was the Night's Watch. Gondor despite everything has strived to support the watch in any way it can.
Martial: "He Left!!"... "Joined the Night's watch, said he hated you and hoped you died a craven's death."... "That's what I get for hiring a sellsword as my martial, why did I do that again?".... "He was cheap and somewhat effective."
[]A Military Report: You need to know what the hell you have, with the fleet gone you only have the army left.
[]A Ranging in Rudar: It was high time to meet with the other chieftains, and take stock of what you have in terms of problems that are troubling your realm.
[]Reorganize the Council(Martial):You need a new Military commander, and fast.
[]Train: You are going to train your mind and your body.
Stewardship: "Denethor is the only thing keeping this nation together."
[x]Expense Report: You need to see this paperwork through, considering everything.
[]Deal with the Devil: You have been thinking about the Offer Littlefinger made all those years ago. This is a terrible Idea, but it might be your only option.
[]Bow before the Lion: Tywin Lannister is many things, but in terms of trade and good business, he was ruthless and effective and rewarding to those who offered good prices and a fair deal. Plus Tyrion was there, so that was a bonus.
[]Fixing the City: Minas Tirith is an imposing Citadel, but it needs some fixing up to make it well, better.
Intrigue: "Had to get rid of the spymaster."...."Yep.".... "Worked for Varys."..."He worked for Varys."... "Why do bad things keep happening to us."
[]Reorganizing the Council(Spymaster): This is your 15th Spymaster, you would like it for once if they didn't have a hidden agenda.
[]Caging a little bird: You need to get the old gossip and Rumor mill moving in your favor. Hopefully Varys won't mind.
[]Finding My boats: Seriously You need to find your fleet, who has the cash and the balls to cheat you.
Learning: "Why did the Maester Leave?"... "He tried to kill my father.".... "Oh for Fucks Sake we need to have our own Scholars take charge instead of those rats."
[]Reorganize the Council(Scholar): Fuck the Maester's your getting your own man.
[]Study the Past: You should read up on your people's history.
[]Try to use the Palantir: In all your life you've never figured out how to use it.
Personal Action: "Hi Mother...sorry I'm late."
[]Go Fishing: You enjoy fishing, more than life itself. And with the need for some time alone, it seems like a good idea.
[]Visit Mother: Your mothers memorial was covered in leaves.
[]Prey: "Why did you leave us...ILUVATAR please!! Send me a sign that you are with us...that you have not abandoned your children to this hell alone!! PLEASE!! I beg you a sign of anything...please lord of man our creator, give me hope. I HAVE GIVEN ALL I CAN!!"
AN:Well this is quite a start. Also its a good way to see how they are doing politically, they are in shit, but are smart enough to stay away from people who will compound there problems.
Also I have one more request:
[]Write in a title idea.
Enjoy

Faramir got up. "Your not dead yet Aragorn...don't give up on our people, don't give up until the bitter end." It hurt to see him wiser than you, but he had a point, you weren't dead yet.
You sighed and got back up. "We better tell Denethor...he might destroy the room this time."
You gave a chuckle. "I'm more Afraid of what Boromir will do, he might take it as an act of war."
Faramir rubbed the back of his head. "He won't...we still need them."
You got dressed and moved onto your horse, and rode towards Gondor, to a home that despite everything, you would still give your life for.
"You smell terrible Strider...when was the last time you took a bath?"
You grinned. "Two weeks."
Faramir facepalmed. "No wonder we didn't get paid."

Denethor took the news extremely well all things considered. He didn't rage or go into one of his speeches in despair, in fact for some reason he smiled.

In total that is about 17,000 men...however there was one wild card.
The 4,500 strong Grey Company….The Former Royal guard of the line of Elendil who...drifted off somewhere looking to break the curse.

An Unexpected Surprise

An Unexpected Surprise
You looked at the elder with a hint of bitterness, no one came to offer services to your kingdom without ulterior motive...it was the way the world worked moves and counter moves.
The world had blunted any trust you had for anyone...no one was your ally, even the stewards...as loyal as they were waited for you to die to take power.
And you'd let them, Gondor had no king, and needs no king. "State your business now elder...I have very little time to deal with you."
The man was ancient even by your people's supposed life, standing tall for his age, he had an air around him that made everything seem okay.
It sickened you to no end...nothing can stop the decline, only delay it.
The man spoke with a force you did not expect. "You hospitality is of the barest essentials, Bread and Salt and a cold courtesy. Am I correct in that manner of speaking Lord Aragorn. I am here because I chose to come to you of my own volition."
Lier...everyone is a spy against you...he has to be lying. "Your Lying Gandalf Stormcrow. You are nothing more than a harbinger of Doom and false hope."
Gandalf looked at you again this time in a stern manner that the elder chieftains gave to you when you were a child. "And you consider the honesty of my messages and counsel to be poison."
"Everything is poison, even if you say you are a servant of Iluvatar himself and even if he stands before me in all his splendor I would still see nothing but false hopes and promises the world has taught me that hope is nothing YOU ARE NOTHING!!" You said as you stood and looked at him with all the rage and anger against him.
….
Gandalf stood watching the rant of the angry little man, how could one so young feel such despair.
He listened for a brief moment as a butterfly landed on his staff and he listened.
A little nudge is needed. Said the all father above. He is bitter and angry, but unruly he must be given a little shock.
He nodded, but hesitated for a brief moment. We have to inspire him not destroy his will to live by scaring him into exile.
The butterfly's wing beaten and Gandalf knew what to do.
….
"ARAGORN TELCONTAR!!! DO NOT THINK OF ME AS A WIZENED FOOL!!! I HAVE WITNESSED THE BIRTH OF ALL THINGS AND SHALL SEE THE END OF ALL THINGS YOU ARE A INSECT COMPARED TO THE MIGHT OF MY LORD AND TO ME!!!!" Gandalf had spoken in the greatest sense of force you had ever heard.
By instinct you curled up into a ball and started to cry for your mother. "MOTHER!! COME BACK!! I'M AFRAID MOTHER PLEASE!!! DON'T LET THE NIGHTMARES COME BACK!!"
You had pissed yourself, you threw your sword away and started crying like a babe, The stars were gone..the mountain was here and the dead were clawing at your face, nothing killed them nothing man could do could kill them.
"MOTHER HELP!!!" You Screamed.
….
Gandalf felt a sweat drop form. "Shit I went to hard." He then looked at the butterfly. The butterfly looks upset.
"Don't look at me like that it was your idea to use it on his weak willed mind. You knew the consequences"
The wing beat silenced your complaint. "Make him listen to the Music of Ainur...Your insane, He'll be driven to madness at best and kill him at worse."
The Allfather spoke, "HE IS OF MEN...THE ONES WHO SHALL MAKE THE SECOND MUSIC OLORIN….THEY ARE MY IMAGE, MY LIFE. MAN IS ME!! ELASSAR MUST BE REBORN HERE."
You nodded. "He will not be what you want Lord, he is not the man you imagined, he is terrified of hope even if he bares it for all."
"TO BE A MAN IS TO HOPE...TO BE ESTEL IS TO BE HOPE...HE MUST REMEMBER HOPE,TRUE HOPE. THIS WORLD HAS ERODED THE SPLENDOR OF MY CHILDREN, HE IS THE ELASSAR OF HIS PEOPLE…" The butterfly then left the staff.
…
You looked at the butterfly and looked at it, it was beyond anything. So simple yet so complex .
The Song of Anuir had entered your ear.
It sounded like your mother and you saw someone.
She looked like Luthian, yet was not…
"I love you."
…
Aragorn Telcontar would fight sleep to the bitter end,when he did sleep he awoke with dreams of a great winter and a foreboding eye. Night after night he had struggled to sleep.
Gilraen knowing that she would need a solution, song a lullaby to put the troubled child to sleep. Hoping to embune the song with all possible power, she said that everytime the song was sung the great heroes of old would come to protect him.
Aragorn asked if his father was among them.
Gilraen smiled. "Your father taught me that song to keep the Nightmares away before you were born."
….
You awoke in a daze, having had the first night of clear rest since your mother died. "Gandalf...I know you."
The older man smiled as the butterfly seemed to leave the room and enter the wider world. "It is a privilege to finally meet you Aragorn."
You had introduced him to the rest of the council and they welcomed him with open arms.
…
That night Aragorn slept without nightmares.
Instead he dreamed of a woman with ivory hair with an evenstar pendant.
Reward:Gandalf The Grey has joined the Council.
AN: Well, Aragorn got Character development, how awesome.

A Long Stubborn Night of Pain
The Stars were out tonight, so you sat underneath the White tree of your ansestors.
The nightmare's that had troubled you since birth have faded, now you had a curiosity of sorts. A women had entered your dreams, the kind that was fierce and kind all at once. A gentle kind of love that you have never expirienced before or since that night.
"Thinking Lord Aragorn?" The wise face of Gandalf the Grey stated as he moved next to you.
"Am I mad, Gandalf...Are you just a dream that I'm having to make myself feel better about my nation to force myself to live...Or am I someone else dreaming of being me." You said in a inescapibly mad tone.
Gandalf tapped his shoulder. "Why do you fear the world my Friend?"
You looked up at the old tree branches and sighed. " It is because it is a hopeless place, that at any moment a scheme or plot by some unseen force could destroy us all. And I'd be too terrified to stop it, I couldn't stop what is to come."
Gandalf looked at you with pity. "You were taught to fear what you see...wern't you...that the world itself is just a pawn against your people by some unseen force."
You nodded, ever since this world had cursed your people, all you had seen from it was scorn, a lust for your people's blood and treasure.
A sort of evil that should not be possible, they wanted to take everything...they couldn't take everything.
It was impossible. Because you made it impossible, you are the bulwark holding the gate alone.
It was a bitter feeling, this hope for the future...but it was a comfort.
A Fool's hope was still a hope indeed.

Omake Ideas
A Day in Winterfell: Gondor is visiting Winterfell and the Starks look at their Eastern neighbor's with a firm handshake and an Honest laugh (Describe a Gondorian Visit to Winterfell before the year 296 AL from the point of view of a Stark bannerman, lord, child or relative.)
A Broken Sword a Broken KIng: It is not easy to watch a people die, but this elder watches it happen in real time. Tar Eanur had been the last to wear the crown...It was only by the Grace of King Aegon the first that spared the Dunedain from his wrath...his successors were less honest of their intentions, you still remember the Burning and Sacking of Minas Tirith...all six of them. (The History of Gondor and its great declain, from 0 AL to 294 AL From the point of view of a Dunedain elder and vassal to the House of Elendil. )
The Death or Arador: Arador, Father of Arathorn, knew he would die this day. The Mad King would see fit to end his life for any reason, your only crime was being the blood of a Dragon slayer as you watched your friend die you shouted "ARATHORN AVENGE ME!!" (The Death of Lord Paramount Arador the Stern by King Aerys the Mad)
As the Trees Live and Die:House Forrester had a unique relationship with the House of Elendil, being as close to nature as they were. "Now Young Forrester let me tell you the story of the Edain,and how like you, came to respect the world around them." (The Forrester clan receive a storyteller for the night, he tells them many things about the world they do not know)
The Star Above Weep: Earendil watches above from the Gil-Estel, he has watched them since the beginning of this age...and he weeps, for he feels his sacrifice to save his people was in vain. The Faithful lead by his kinsman had been spared a fiery death at the hands of Iluvatar, only to die a slow pitiful death. "My Sacrifice has been In vain oh lord!!"(The Downfall of the Faithful of Numenor from the Point of View of Earendil)
Born of Hope: As he lay dying Arathorn gives a final blessing to his son. As she lay dying many years after her husband, Gilraen reminds him of that blessing and hope that in time, Aragorn will embrace the man he was born to be. (The Deaths of Arathorn and Gilraen and the Blessing and love they gave to there son.)
A Ranger's Duty: It is the duty of a Ranger of the North to protect the Dunedain, its treasures and its king. One Ranger did not know that until he was fleeing the Night's Watch with a treasure most dear. (A Ranger of the North protects his people to the bitter end, even as he is to be exicuted by those he protects for breaking a vow the Dunedain consider sacred...break one oath to uphold another...ain't life a bitch.)
AN:A Few Omakes for you guys to chew on and hopefully write.
