Why does Frodo's sword glow blue?

Jedispara · 31st December 2001, 02:19 PM

did you pay attention in the movie, also haven't you read The Hobbit, its explained in there.... it glows blue whenever orcs are near by!

Morrigan · 31st December 2001, 03:52 PM

I'll try and say it nicer--

The sword glows blue whenever orcs are close, because of the Elvish magic in it.

squire · 31st December 2001, 03:57 PM

Yeah, and it looks heaps good when its blue aswell

Morrigan · 31st December 2001, 04:01 PM

Uh huh, it looks a little like the blue glow is leaping off the blade, sort of like solar flares.

Okay,t hat's what I *wish* it looked like. That would have been sweet

Jedispara · 31st December 2001, 04:31 PM

hey, if you have one, i'll take it!!!!! *looks around*

Legolas · 31st December 2001, 04:48 PM

WEll, this can be a question thread then...

Why does Lorien disappear when the One Ring is destroyed?

squire · 1st January 2002, 04:59 AM

Hmmm.......

Legolas · 1st January 2002, 12:53 PM

isn't it something like Galadriels ring protected the woods and when the One was destroyed it lost its power? i never really understood that!

spider · 1st January 2002, 09:15 PM

I'm reading the hobbit now, and i didn't catch every lil detail in teh movie.

Morrigan · 1st January 2002, 11:22 PM

Spider, don't worry about Jedi. He seems to assume we ALL understand quantum physics at he age of 15.

Bilbo was given Sting (sword's name) in The Hobbit, and he passes it on to Frodo in Lord of the Rings.

About Lorien...

I haven't read the book yet, so this is speculation-

Maybe it is because the Elves didn't need to hide the ring anymore, so Lorien disappeared. It was the hiding place for those ring bearing elves, so if they no longer need to protect it, *poof* so long Lorien.

Jedispara · 2nd January 2002, 05:14 AM

good point there!!! thanks for the complimet, i feel special!

Legolas · 2nd January 2002, 02:31 PM

Ok, this is more of a request. I am drawing my versions of the characters. I am in the middle of the Ringwraiths ( I drew all 9 horse charging towards you (no metal helmets, just raw horse!) with sword-wielding bad guys on their backs)

I have got a great drawing of Glorfindels horse, but as i have not the book, i dont know what he looks like. Can someone who has the book plz type what Glorfindels description is? I'll post my drawings soon so u can all take a peek into my imagination!

Morrigan · 3rd January 2002, 01:50 AM

Jedi, hun, sweetie? That wasn't a compliment.

Which book is it in, Leggy? I may be able to help you.

Legolas · 3rd January 2002, 11:30 AM

It is in teh forst book, i think the chapet the 'Flight to the Ford' or maybe the one before it i'm bot sure....
