for a fun time, don’t think about anguirel speaking with eol’s voice

Anguirel Design V2– RivkaZ 2016

Re-uploading this because the in the original I had a silly flange on the end of the blade that I have since removed. I also called it a ‘bastard sword’/’hand-and-a-half sword’, instead of a great sword, which is more accurate. (I confused the technique ‘half-handing’ with the hand-and-a-half sword type. Whoop!)

More Gondolin reference stuff.

I needed to make a sword that matched with my Eöl’s Gothic sensibilities, was mean and lean enough to be the twin of Anglachel/Gurthang, AND looked like it was inspired by dwarven craftsmanship.

I chose a great sword for the design after seeing some truly elegant videos of longsword techniques in use. It’s appealing to me to think of Maeglin using a big mofo of a sword with surgical finesse.

So you forsake your father and his kin, illgotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.

Eöl, The Silmarillion (Chapter 16)
