so Iāve been meaning to put this on tumblr and keep forgetting but, in the campaign Iām running my sister is playing an orc fighter, and one of the options you can pick for a fighterās signature weapon is that it āglows in the presence of [fill in the blank].ā
I was like, āoh, thatās funny because itās a reference to that sword in The Hobbit that glows in the presence of orcs. Your weapon probably doesnāt glow in the presence of orcs.ā
to which she responded, āFUCK YEAH it does.ā
So now we have in the party an orc fighter with a club that glows in the presence of orcs. Or, as far as the character is concerned, a club that glows. Itās been in her family for generations since some ancestor won it in a battle, and itās just always glowed. She has a sack to put it in when sheās trying to be stealthy.
#orcs in LotR donāt know that Sting doesnāt glow#that is crazy#they think elves and hobbits just carry glowing swords#for the Aesthetic#and if you know enough elves that probably makes sense to you!#sparkly drama queens would probably make their hair glow if they could
