Like, I'm sure Tolkien would make Narsil a sword that belongs to good guys and stuff, but the idea of Narsil being Maedhros sword (maybe even made by Fëanor himself) makes me so rabid.
Like, Elros taking the sword that caused so much pain, that belongs to someone he both loves and hates, and makes it into part of his own kingdom for the purpose of good.
That sword being then broken by Sauron and finally used to defeat him in its brokenness (something, something, the redemption in battle that Mae never gets, something, something, symbolism).
And its shard then reforged into Anduril.
Flame of the West.
#I'm not okay about this#a small part of me wants it to be a sword Curufin made (with Telchar's help)#the other wants it to be a pair with the helm (I forget the name of the place)#but I feel there's more symbolism in being made in Valinor by Fëanor#sort of bringing back that Maedhros whose only desire was to defeat evil#I have so many emotions about this#maedhros#silmarillion#elros#elros tar minyatur#kidnap fam#lord of the rings#the silmarillion#narsil#anduril#feanorians#house of feanor#i actually couldn't remember if it breaks before or after Isildur cuts off his finger in the books#but I feel it still works either way#the point is#the sword breaks and its symbolic of Mae
