Saurons Weapon of Choice? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Dark Lord · 11-24-2013, 12:43 AM

Hello.

I have been doing some digging recently, and since I haven't read the books, I just realized that Sauron's weapon choice was not mentioned properly, if at all. (In the books).

In the movies, his weapon was portrayed as a mace that could 'send entire battalions of soldiers flying in a single hit'.

Is this true in the books? Because if he can do that, with 'one' hit, why was it so hard to send Elendil and Gil - Galad flying away? It would kill them instantly wouldn't it? Or do you think he kept missing while they dodged?

Kind of disappointed that his mace with the 'flying away powers' wasn't mentioned in the book.

Was his weapon just a normal mace like a human would use? If so, seems like he didn't kill many people during his time.
