10 Most Powerful Items In Game Of Thrones

7. The Strangler

HBO

You know that a substance is pure power when a single drop can shape the world. The strangler is the rare, instant-kill poison used in Joffrey's assassination and can be blamed for an incredible sequence of events in King's Landing.

Joffrey's death sped up the race for the Throne, put Tommen in power and subsequently led to the High Sparrow obliterating Cersei's reputation, and in turn her fiery revenge and claiming the Throne for herself.

Meanwhile, Joffrey's death led many to turn against the innocent Tyrion, leading to trial by combat, leading to Oberyn's death, leading to Princess Myrcella's, and then to Doran's.
