In Response To: Re: Gandalf & Durandal (Anarchie) : The two blades were Orcrist, "Goblin-cleaver" and Glamdring,
Aka "Beater" and "Biter", to the Orcs. Yeah, that's them - I couldn't remember the translations, and couldn't be bothered to look it up. (Shame on me.) I believe Gandalf's is Glamdring (Foe Hammer, of course), and Thorin was buried with Orcrist. Hm, Saruman. Forgot about him. If we're carrying this to a logical extreme, he might match up better with Tycho. Saruman's power was that of persuasion and use of twisted machinery (stolen from Sauron), and Tycho must've been a good salesmen to get the Pfhor to hire him ("Machinated Mercenary", remember?) instead of assimilating him. And Tycho did deal with weird tech to some extent - his ship was S'pht-proof, among other things. It's not a perfect analogue, of course, and perhaps getting a bit too conjectural. Our Marine is more like a Michael Moorcock character than a hobbit, though. Shadowfax instead of Boomer? Perhaps not - isn't Rozinante the name of a horse? |
