Alright let's get this thing started.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Today for your eyes only, the epic struggle of two of the most evil beings penned down by humans, a fight of dark lords, rulers of evil, and... you get the point.
In the right corner we have the one and only Sauron! Dark lord of Mordor! His deeds need no mention, for he is known to all!
Now he had a little trouble with a certain hobbit carrying a ring and all, but that's not a problem..
..because...
In the left corner we have Lord Foul the Despiser! He is an evil entity trapped in an entire world, he schemes and plans for one reason only. To escape!
Now he's had some problems with a certain human carrying a ring and all but that's neither here and there.
Now tonight only, for your satisfaction, these two evils will trade places. Lord Foul the despiser will be transported to Middle-Earth and will have the exact same resources as Sauron had. He will arrive at the exact same time as when Bilbo surrendered the ring to Frodo. He will arrive in Mordor and now Middle-Earth has become his prison.
His task is simple, to retrieve the ring from Frodo so he can use it to break free of his prison, before Frodo throws it in Mount Doom.
Sauron on the other hand will be transported to The Land, at the exact same time as Thomas Covenant is transported to Kevin's Watch.
He will arrive in Foul's Creche, domain of his rival.
His task is to the make Thomas surrender the ring willingly or make him destroy the Arch of Time, and the world in the process.
Both are instructed in the specifics of their rival's world.
The questions are, can Lord Foul take the ring before it is thrown into Mount Doom?
Can Sauron manipulate Thomas in such a way that he gives up the ring willingly or destroy the world in his despair?
Bonus exercise, what if instead of the dark lords being swapped, the ring bearers are swapped in their position.
As in, would Thomas Covenant be able to bear the one ring and throw it in Mount Doom, and would Frodo be able to withstand Lord Foul?
