Now here's a thought ... Steampunk Middle Earth, but use a WWI-era Europe with some kingdom changes..
Frodo & Co. accompanied by Magitech Engineer Gandalf cross a war-torn Europe during the period of the first Magitech War to cast the Lord of Time's watch of power back into the fires of the factory in the Ruhr from whence it came.
Start in London (the Shire), by steam train and boat to France where they pause in Paris before having to attempt tunnels through the Alps to avoid the Western Front, pausing in Bern for a respite before moving on (Gandalf having fallen to a steam Golem). The part splits; Merry & Pippin captured by Austrian orcs and taken east while Frodo & Sam continue north toward the Ruhr. The Nine Pilots are abroad; having been defeated in their cars by the channel crossings, they are now in magitech aircraft, while the Zepplin assault on Muenchen is forming up in the Rhineland. Aragorn rescues the hobbits while taking Austria out of the picture, and raising the Bohemians come to the aid of a beseiged Muenchen whilst Frodo and Sam reach the outskirts of Berlin ...
