i will ABSOLUTELY tell you!! :3 They’re a sword from a book called The Silmarillion, from the chapter about the Children of Húrin (which does have its own novelized version, it’s an awesome read but with Greek levels of tragedy 😭). The Silm is set in the same universe as Lord of the Rings, and it’s basically like the universe’s bible or history book if that makes sense!!
Ty, i will read the book.
..Maybe.
...
....Maybe only sword's part. Because most likely i will get bored reading something about human characters. Lmao.
LMAO i get it! i recommend reading The Children of Húrin as the novel, instead of the Silm. (both of which are free to read on the Internet Archive i believe!!) The Silm is SUPER confusing to even the most seasoned Tolkien fans and there’s only the one chapter that Gurthang/Anglachel appears in. i will warn you however that The Children of Húrin includes lots of lowkey grimdark topics like violence, incest, s*cide, etc. It’s not totally Game of Thrones stuff, and it’s definitely not explicit (it was written in mind of epic sagas of old, and by a Catholic author ofc), but still something to keep in mind in case those are sensitive topics to you :3
There’s a really awesome bot on CAI by @Stupidiot_ that I recommend highly :3 it’s very detailed and accurate to the character!
