A King shall protect his Burglar from extreme weather conditions (-11°C and light snow)
Just when I think I'm done with my Silmarillion crashouts...
I find myself watching the Hobbit. In tears. All because Thorin poo poo's Orcrist and Glamdring.
He doesn't know the elves who weilded those blades lived in Gondolin. That the elves in Goldolin shared his greatest pain. They watched their beloved city burn. They were forced to flee. But they were never able to return.
...Why does it hurt so much??? 🥺

On 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘆 we focus on the medieval broad-bladed weapons used by Guy of Gisborne and Raymond de Merville, and on Thorin Oakenshield's legendary Elven sword Orcrist that served our hero throughout the Hobbit trilogy and now resides on a bookshelf in Richard's NYC home. ⚔️
progress of my cosplay! just finished weathering orcrist :)

I woke up this morning thinking about how crazy it must have been for Elrond when Gandalf pulls up with Thorin&Co to Rivendell with nothing other than great-grandpa Turgon's sword. The sword that he (speculatively) died with in Gondolin. Like how-- what are the chances that this sword makes it out of the valley, across Beleriand, over the Ered Luin, and into a troll cave the the company just happens to stumble across.
Can you imagine how crazy it would have been for Glorfindel???? I haven't read the hobbit in a while so idk if my guy Glorfindel was back and in Rivendell at this point but omg if he was, and he saw the sword of his king and its mate right before his very eyes, an age after he saw Gondolin fall... yeah think about that
Tbh for all the theorising about whose sword Orcrist used to be, if it really was the twin of Glamdring it was probably made for Aredhel or Idril.

To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To find our long-forgotten gold 🎶
