From the ashes, a fire shall be woken

A light from the shadows shall spring

Renewed shall be blade that was broken

The crownless again shall be king

Hey, do you think the Tolkien estate is aware of this shit? I go to look up Aragorn's sword and this atrocity was the top result.

Founders Fund in Talks to Lead $2.5B Funding Round for Anduril

AI-powered defense technology startup Anduril Industries is in negotiations for a new funding round that could push its valuation to $28 billion, sources revealed on Friday. The round, expected to raise up to $2.5 billion, would be led by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, signaling continued investor interest in the rapidly expanding defense tech sector. This funding comes just months after Anduril raised $1.5 billion at a $14 billion valuation in August.

Founders Fund has been a key investor in Anduril since its inception in 2017, and one of its co-founders, Trae Stephens, is also a partner at the firm. While Founders Fund declined to comment, the news was first reported by CNBC.

Anduril, based in Costa Mesa, California, specializes in developing autonomous defense systems, including drones and a variety of sensors. The company recently announced plans to build a large-scale weapons manufacturing plant in central Ohio, using the new funding to enhance its production capabilities.

In 2023, Anduril unveiled its Lattice for Mission Autonomy, an AI-driven software system designed to enable autonomous units to collaborate during missions under human oversight.

Before founding Anduril, Palmer Luckey, who started the company, gained recognition for founding Oculus VR, which Facebook acquired in 2014 for $2.3 billion. Anduril also has connections in the political sphere, with U.S. Vice President JD Vance having invested in the company before his political career.

Thiel, a co-founder of military tech company Palantir, has been a prominent Republican donor, supporting Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Vance’s 2022 Senate run.

I'm sure this is not a new idea and surely someone has put this out there or even made art of this...

But, LOTR fans; how cool would it be Andúril, Aragorn's sword made of the shards of Narsil, had been remade in the style of Kintsugi ( the Japanese technique for fixing a precious thing that was broken by and filling the seams with gold or silver to make it more beautiful than before )???

And and and instead of gold or silver they use Mithril to fill in the lines of the broken shard so that the blade has this glittering, white, forking lines through out it that make it look as though it's being held together by a branch of The White Tree of Gondor? Like how sick would that have been?

i don't know the exact timeline for when ghilan'nain physically changed into what we see her as in datv, but im really attached to the idea that she didn't look like that before the veil was made. like she looked just like we saw her in solas' memory, untainted and with no extra limbs. her new form is the direct consequence of her fusing her body with anduril's blighted corpse after anduril's archdemon was slain and she died in the fade. she does not need to mourn anduril. anduril has become part of her greater whole. she would not be parted from her, even in death.
