Dark Jackal has done a fair bit of research leg-work and the results are an excellent and detailed history of Thorin's fabled sword Orcrist, the Orc-Cleaver. Not only that, but she's collected a lot of photos of both the sword and Thorin in action.

Thanks for the mention! You might want to change "he's collected" to "she's". *wink* It's a common misconception, but I wouldn't want to give males all the credit for being sword-obsessed :-)
ReplyDeleteSo, the funny thing is, right before I read your comment I was just wondering whether "he" was the proper pronoun. My mistake! I'll be fixing that little error right away . . . :)
