User blog comment:Jar teh marksman/The Varden (Inheritance Cycle) VS Imperials (TES V: Skyrim)/@comment-4555900-20120131022552

Uh, well, I vote for The Varden personally. Now for my edges! Close Range: A Hunting Knife vs. a Iron Dagger, the Hunting Knife looks longer, and just overall better really, plus, many of The Varden are also hunters, so yeah, that defenitly helps against people who really don't use a dagger much. EDGE:Varden Close Range #2:The Shortsword and the Imperial Sword look pretty much the same, and I'm guessing are really about the same thing. EDGE:Even

Mid-Range: This is difficult, I see the effective use of a Spear, keeping people at bay easily, whereas the Greatsword is pretty much just a longer, two hand version of the Imperial Sword. Also slower. I'm going for Spear because it's actually different, and has more tactical use, plus, a regular shortsword can go against a Greatsword well enough. EDGE:Varden

Long Range:A bow is a bow is a bow. Seriously though, I'm fairly certain they're the same bow pretty much, so I don't see any advantages for either. EDGE:Even

Armor: Leather is weaker than Chainmail, however, can actually take stabs, whereas Chainmail can not. I'm saying even, because the only real stabbing weapons the Imperials have are the dagger, the Imperial Sword(kinda), and the Bow and Arrow, which will do the same to Leather armor is used by the Varden. And chainmail can take slashes pretty well. EDGE: Varden

Armor #2: The Imperial Legates have special armor, a uniqueness that is absent in The Varden, so obviously, they'll get the edge, however, since the Varden have nothing to counter, I'll count this as a seperate edge. EDGE:Imperial.

Edges: Imperial: 1 Varden: 3 Even: 2

Also, a seperate question, do the Varden have Elves, Urgals, and Dwarves in their ranks? Beleive me, for the people who haven't read the Inheritance Cycle, it matters.

With Urgals, Elves, etc in The Varden. I defenitly think the Varden will win this, for the simple fact that Urgals are tanks pretty much, and the perfect thing to take down Imperial Legates with, and Elves are much faster and stronger than a regular human, even without counting the use of the ancient language, which I am leaving out of this vote, by the way.

Even without the Elves and Urgals, I think the Varden are better suited for this battle honestly, with more diverse weapons, and only a slight, slight decrease in number of people. The Varden can take this win, though not without a fight obviously, considering those Imperial Legates will be challenging.

By the way, you should really clear that up, whether the ancient language is in use during this battle, same with magic on the Imperial side, plus the races in each of the respective armies.
