In this book the primary character finds a sword which was smithed by Elvish artisans for the destruction of evil. The sword was then passed down to Frodo the primary character in the Trilogy. Sting was a beautifully crafted weapon that was used as a sword for the Hobbits, but was more of a long dagger for Men and Elves. It had the unique ability to detect the presence of Orcs, which caused the weapon to glow blue.</p> <p class="style6" style="padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px"> </p> <p class="style7" style="padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px"> The creators of the Lord of the Rings have created a weapon one would imagine after reading the books. Sting is a weapon whose shape shows the author of its’ design. Elves first created this weapon and Elves were invariably linked to all the goodness of nature. The shape of the blade therefore, shows more of a leaf-like appearance. It has a cross-guard with a hilt inscribed with Elvish patterns of flowing curves.</p> <p class="style7" style="padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px"> </p> <p class="style7" style="padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px"> As such, Sting is a beautifully crafted blade, that when hefted, feels a blade worthy of the its’ ancestral heritage. The Sting blade would be most pronounced when displayed as part of a collection, without which, such a collection would feel utterly incomplete. Sting has a beautiful blade that would be at home displayed prominently in a room with fine furniture with a contemporary feel, as well as in a room with stone accents retaining a more rustic feel. In either setting, the blade Sting from the Lord of the Rings will surely be a conversation topic in whatever setting it finds itself.</p> </font></p> </div> <div>  <div align="center"> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td>    <td class="pa_extras" style="background-color: #FFFFFF"> <div style="border-style: inset none groove none;
