If you're a fantasy geek, here's a dream come true: There may be a connection between HBO's "Game of Thrones" and the "Lord of the Rings" movies.
A Reddit user just pointed out a possible link between the two epic fantasy series. NoMoreHodoring posted a photo of King Joffrey sitting on the Iron Throne, with a particular sword circled. As we know, the Iron Throne was forged by Aegon I Targaryen out of the swords of his enemies.

That would just mean the Targaryen’s dragons burned up Gandalf during their conquest of Westeros.
Gandalf the Crispy!

Given the way prop houses reuse props and molds probably every “significant” sword in fantasy history is in that thing somewhere.

+ the Hyborian AgeDoes that mean we should also start looking for Conan's 5-foot yataghan in there, too?

Considering that Once Upon a Time has the Wicked Witch of Oz as the sister of Regina, the Evil Queen, and Rumplestilskin's father as Pan, anything is possible in TV/Movieland.

The Seven Kingdoms of the Hyborian Age. Howard even mentions white walkers.

Howard even mentions white walkers.As memory serves, I have...or at least had; have to go looking...a paperback (Ace?) that had a white walker on the cover illustration, which looked a lot more like a yeti.
