Closed To Rule Them All [Hot/Cold - Solved]

[Claire Yeon]

I am thinking of a fictional king. We have been doing well with these, so we're going to change it up: you have nine guesses in which to deduce the identity of this character. I will help you along the way with hints... but I'll do my best to not make it too easy.

Rules:

• You have 9 guesses (in total, not each)
• Every guess must be an actual person/place/thing according to the underlined word
• You will be given a temperature indicator and a hint with each guess
• First correct answer, or 9th incorrect guess closes the game

I like 9, odd numbers are great.

Is it King Lear?

 

[Claire Yeon]

Freezing. To the best of my knowledge, the king I am looking for has never been portrayed on stage.

Eight questions left.

 

[Joe Kerr]

is it Jon Snow?

 

[Claire Yeon]

Slightly warmer, but still quite cool. Like Jon Snow, he features prominently in an epic fantasy series.

Seven questions remain.

 

[Chase]

Is it Aragorn?

 

[Claire Yeon]

Much warmer. Like Aragorn, he is an excellent warrior and woodsman, and was uncrowned when we meet him.

Six...

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Jonathan of Conté from The Song of the Lioness?

 

[Claire Yeon]

Cooling off. Like Jonathan, he is an only child, but he is quite a bit older when we first encounter him.

Five guesses remain.

 

[Victorique]

Is this a mythic king, not quite like Arthur (sisters and all), but more like Beowulf?

 

[Claire Yeon]

While many of the "exile king" characters share similar traits, this one is not a direct parallel of an established figure of myth or legend. We will count that as a point of clarification rather than a question. Still at five.

Is the King Conan of Cimmeria aka Conan the Barbarian?
