It's true.

Maybe this one should be weapons and armour, and later we could have another one such as powerful objects, e.g. Silmarils, rings, etc.

If we don't have the other one then I nominate:

Tom Bombadil's boots

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-13-2009, 04:06 PM

For specialized weapons how about nominations of

Smaug's teeth

Dragon Fire

Smaug's hypnotic eyes

dragons seductive voices ?

I don't see a reason to limit the number of seconds, Lalaith. I trust people can control themselves enough not to misuse the voting power they've been given.

Given the number of weapons we have thus far, I think we could do with just weapons & armour on this round. Therefore I'm excluding stuff like the Girdle of Melian, Bombadil's boots (which, in my opinion, are rather other items than armour), the rings etc from the list. However if you think some of them should be included, speak up.

As for Tuor's dragon suggestions, I rather didn't take them because they are very different weapons from the rest. If there is considerable opposition to this, though, I may consider otherwise.

I second Belthronding & the Morgul blades and nominate Ringil & Angrist.

Oh by the way - do we want Anglachel, Gurthang or both?

Seconded weapons:

Grond (Morgoth's)
Black Arrow
Aeglos
Anguirel
Anglachel
Aranrúth
Glamdring
The Barrow-Blades
Belthronding
Morgul Blades

Pending for approval:

Sting
Grond II
Narsil
Andúril
The Dragon Helm
Ringil
Angrist

Gordis · 05-14-2009, 04:32 AM

I nominate Orcrist

Maybe we should consider Narsil/Anduril as one item?

By the way if we take all of the weapons in Aganzir's list, we almost have 20 and could already start

Yes, I think we could.

I added Dramborleg (Tuor's axe) and the Mithril shirt and changed Anglachel to Gurthang because the sword is probably better-known as the latter.

There are 19 now so we can get this rolling pretty soon. Hmm how about Thorin's oak branch?
