The Blade of Isildur
I am an avid Lord of the Rings fan. I’ve read all of the books multiple times, and only watch the extended editions of the movies. Through the year, my favorite software we’ve used has been tinker cad. I enjoy it because its fun manipulating shapes, and it easier to see where you are in the process.
The reason the sword is broken is because in the story, the Dark Lord Sauron broke Isildur’s sword during a enormous battle. Sauron had the ring at the time, and was essentially indestructible. In a battle for the fate of all the creatures in Middle Earth, Isildur picked up his broken swords and cut the ring off Sauron which defeated him and his army of Orks.
