A Game of Gondor

by Daltonstein

In an attempt to get his line out of the stewardship and onto the throne, Lord Denethor sends Boromir and some of Gondor's army to Westeros to claim the Iron Throne.

Prologue

TA 2996- Twenty-two years before the War of the Ring, before the return of the Ring of Power was even a whisper in the minds of Gondor's people, Lord Denethor, Steward of Gondor, had already long been mad with bitterness and ambition, for he knew in his heart that his line was forever in a position of necessity, not royalty, and his heirs would never claim the throne of Gondor. So when word reached Minas Tirith of a far-away land where five kings led their armies, and the throne could belong to anyone with the strength to claim it, it was this bitterness and desire for power that drove him to endanger the lives of many great men of Gondor, including his young son Boromir, in pursuit of this strange and distant Iron Throne of Westeros.
