Glamdring - Asset August, Day 11

I know Glamdring isn't depicted as glowing in the movies, but in the books it's pretty clearly described as glowing 'Cold & Bright' and it is an elvish blade forged in Gondolin, which all glow due to the hatred the smiths infused in them.

Glamdring - Asset August, Day 11

Glamdring, also known as The Foe-hammer or Beater, wielding by Turgon, King of Gondolin in the first age and lost before it's fall. Uncovered in the trollcaves of Eriador by Thorin & Company and gifted to Gandalf the Grey. Wielded by him throughout the War of the Ring and used to slay Durin's Bane.

I'm a huge LOTR fan, and am currently re-reading the books, so wanted to make something from it, decided to put together Gandalf's sword as it is most famously known. Was tempted to also make Anduril/Narsil, but will save that for another day.
