"Yes I know it's super niche and nerdy even for me but bear with me" Sir this is a LOTR lore analysis channel, this is literally what all of us craving for lmao

[@andrewpaschke6243]

One interesting fact is that after Thorin’s death in the hobbit, they laid Orcrist on his tomb to give the dwarves warning about impending orc attacks. This definitely implies at least that Orcrist had an orc radar range of several miles and was more effective than existing lookout positions that would no doubt have been able to see farther than that.

[@jawstrock2215]

Patrol would probably see armies or warband, but Orcrist could also warn against lone spies or digging.

[@TheDesertMarmot]

That would definitely make sense. Glamdring is more sensitive than Sting and Glamdring and Orcrist are both at similar level of craftsmanship. Sting is described as a small dagger by elf standards and it certainly doesn't have the pedigree of the others.

[@matthewronsson]

​@@TheDesertMarmot It makes sense that a long knife like Sting would be made as a companion blade for great swords like Glamdring and Orcrist. Being a lesser blade, it would have lesser detection abilities than a great blade, but as it's named, it still had a mighty sting in it, very powerful in its own right.

[@alejandromolina7270]

4:56 ...sang, of course... That made me laugh out loud.

[@rashkavar]

It is worth noting that Bilbo's assessment that dim light means "not very near, but not far enough" could just be that he saw Glamdring glowing brightly before, and is thus concluding that a dim glow says they're in the area, but not in the room with him. It's not an unreasonable assumption to make.

[@Radditz770]

I take the two parts of the sentence to be interpreted separately: Not very near: it's not shining so brightly as when they're very close Not far enough: it's still glowing at all, Bilbo would rather the sword was completely normal-looking at that point. As in, the second part is less about measurement, and more about Bilbo's fears and woes.

[@RianHagebeuk]

​​​@@Radditz770I agree. His response is more likely Bilbo-specific than exact situation specific. I think his preferred location of orc is nowhere and his preferred amount of orc is zero.

[@rashkavar]

@@Radditz770 yeah, that's more or less what I was going for. For Bilbo, a hobbit of no significant martial skill, he'd probably rather the goblins/orcs be as far away as conceivably possible, and Sting's faint glow indicates that's very much not the case.

[@KuK137]

Yeah, video took this part WAY too literally, it's just 100% fearful guessing, not any sort of accurate measure...

[@elijahbrown9738]

Literal definition of "in deep geek"

[@ZOB4]

In The Hobbit, it says that The Lonely Mountain couldn’t be taken by surprise because Orcrist glowed whenever enemies approached. Surely the distance from Thorin’s tomb to outside of the lonely mountain is longer than a mile, but as mentioned, Glamdring (and by extension Orcrist) seem to be more sensitive than Sting.

[@ieuanhunt552]

It could also be that Glamdring was a channel for Gandalf supernatural powers so was more sensitive that way.

[@rmsgrey]

Possibly Orcrist being set in one place for an extended period was more attuned to the local signal enivronment and could detect Orcs at longer range as a result.

[@nunya___]

[@scottmusgrave5735]

@@ieuanhunt552 absolutely he was. Good things happen to things when an angel is holding them.

[@andreas_rr]

I would say there are 2 more things to consider: 1) How many orcs: i could imagine, the swords might pick up a whole group from a mile away, while a single orc might only be noticed from a few hundred meters away. 2) What about obstacles: whatever it is that the blade reacts to, may it be an aura of orcish malice or anything, chances are, it would be dimmer if there are either obstacles in the way. So, it could be that it shines dimly with orcs a mile away when in open ground at amon hen, but in Bilbo's case in Moria it might be much less distance for the same brightness, similar to 1). If we try to take a scientific look at the topic, no matter what we compare it to - gravity, electromagnetic/acoustic waves, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics and so on, it would make sense that the propagation is dependant on how many/strong sources there are, and how the path looks like (dampening, reflections, etc.). There are so many factors that would make it physically immersive - and yes, i know, that would me more of an hard magic system, but it wouldnt surprise it if Tolkien would have liked to take inspiration in nature for questions like these. What we can definitely say though, is, no matter how effective the swords are, the range/intensity should be chosen reasonably by the craftsmen for the purpose. I would neither want a sword glowing like the sun when orcs are even 10km away, nor would i want one glowing dimly with orcs closer than a hundred meters. I think, if it detects a single orc from 500m, a smaller group from a mile away and a large army from 2-5km away, that would sound just about right to be as practical as it can get. This way, it would start glowing when you should be wary of the situation, and will glow stronger, the larger the danger becomes

[@amasterofone]

Fair points!

[@lightborn9071]

I'd say only something that can negatively affect elven magic would count as an obstacle. But I do believe that the blade is brighter when they are more orcs.

[@funkyschnitzel]

It may be that we're slightly over thinking this one... 😂

[@mandowarrior123]

Both the sam and aragorn references at 1 mile are singular or at least small numbers of orcs. Aragorn reckons on a spy or two at that distance. Also, if numbers were a factor sting would probably be relatively bright at the tower, due to the number of orcs generally in Mordor.

[@Zoey--]

[@acgleason21]

Nice

[@ianhruday9584]

There's a small complication here. The sword probably glows brighter the more Orcs there are as well, so it's going to be a function of distance and number. Incidentally, my friend played an Orc in a D&D campaign who found a sword that glowed when it works were nearby. He picked it up and used it as his main weapon, and he named it "The Sword that Never Stops Glowing." It did radiant damage.

[@PrivateAccountXSG]

It may glow based on intent... a pursuant orc may glow brighter, and a dead or fleeing orc may glow softer...

[@scottjackson1420]

I was going to say much the same thing. A single orc 200 yards away is one level of brightness. But a hundred orcs who are 200 yards from Sting would be something else altogether.

[@hunterwyeth]

That’s some interesting character development. An orc who conquers elvish steel.

[@ryo-kai8587]

That's actually a really cool scenario. Repurposing Elvish steel to essentially be a free light source as long as it's wielded by an Orc is one of those interesting synergies that comes from deep and imaginative lore.

[@amphitheatre]

waited 11 long minutes to have him never bring this up

[@Hlaford29]

It may be worth mentioning that - as the author of the video said himself - orcs were blinded by this light. I believe that the main function of this light was not to warn the user of the presence of orcs but to blind those orcs when in battle. It just started shining earlier, so you could use it as a "radar", but it was a secondary function. Primarily, it was a weapon.

[@mirandarensberger6919]

This is a really good point. Bright enough to blind an orc wouldn't necessarily be that bright to an elf.

[@SPIKESPIEGEL1969]

but it blinds the good guy wielder too. its not a flashlight on a rifle going 1 way. it shines 365

[@Hlaford29]

@@SPIKESPIEGEL1969 yes, it's also a kind of side effect - a necessary evil. But orcs suffer not just of light but sustain "magical" damage as they are creatures of darkness.

[@paolocaldato2301]

​@@SPIKESPIEGEL1969it shines every day of the year, does it?

[@JobiWan144]

I can entertain such an argument. Light is frequently seen as a weapon against the forces of evil in Middle Earth, with darkness or "shadow" acting as its counterpart in the hands of those forces of evil. However, Elrond never mentions this use of the swords' abilities, nor does anyone else IIRC.

[@KingHeggunte]

Just as I’ve always surmised. Upon seeing the title I thought “hold on, didn’t Aragorn and Frodo use Sting to get an approximate distance once? And Aragorn should know pretty well how to read one of those blades”. And as a side note, I always thought that the intensity of Sting when Sam had it was that’s because it’s how the *Orc* perceived it (similar to how the light from the phial burned Shelob’s eyes), in addition to the visual possibly being influenced by his holding the One Ring, similar to how the Orcs thought he was a huge and powerful warrior when they first saw him.

[@minibro73]

Same here, because if it was that bright for non-Orcs, the wielders of such weapons would have been blinded by their own swords.

[@meganofsherwood3665]

​@@minibro73 Which honestly makes sense. If you are sneaking up on a goblin camp, you don't want to telegraph your position, _but_ blinding your light-sensitive enemies is a great bonus!

[@melkhiordarkfell4354]

My personal headcanon was that Idril commissioned Sting for the then 7 year old Earendil, as the kings grandson his sword would have been made in the kings smithy. Probably was never delivered since her tunnel wasn't fully finished when the attack came and was still in the tower of the king, so if Glamdring was found with Sting in the troll cave, it was likely that they where picked up together.

[@willdavis3802]

My headcannon is that Sting always had it's equal partner long dagger, for whatever elf had Sting commissioned to have a partner for it to it to dual wield, and they were more powerful together. Maybe it was simply stuck in a corpse in the lands swallowed up by the ocean when the Valar got pissy about exploits in their rules.

[@antoniotruong5647]

I don't usually leave comments, but I love your videos. My mother read The Hobbit and the trilogy to us as kids a chapter a night at bedtime. So basically I grew up with these characters. While I am familiar with the Hobbit and the Trilogy, I have never read the other works or appendices. I actually found reading Tolkien a little bit difficult because of his use of language being..... not old English, but I had to stop and think while reading it to understand what was being conveyed. This was when I was a little older than the young girl I was when my mom read the stories to us. The strength of the story and the obvious narrative kept me engaged even though I didn't understand half of what was being read to me by my mother. I don't even feel badly about not having read all of that extra material because I found your videos. You've taken care of all of that for me. Thank you.

Nah man, that was the perfect amount of nerdy and niche. I’m all here for technical stuff and you literally answered a question I have had for years. thanks!!!

[@boazplays7239]

I agree with the 1 mile total range, but I personally interpreted the text/scenes to mean that Sting measures the magnitude of the Orc threat. For example, Sting might be faint if there is a single, injured Orc nearby, but not in any position to be a threat. Or, Sting might show faintly if there is a mass orc army marching several miles away. Its interesting to note that Tolkien mentions that Hobbits have a natural way of remaining unseen (boosted by the ring), so orcs, even nearby or in number, won't measure as significant a threat to Sting in the hands of a hobbit in sneak mode.

[@ScottHess]

I rather think that Shagrat’s response to the light is because it is intrinsically painful to orc eyes, not that it is overwhelmingly bright. Else the swordplay in the misty mountains in the hobbit would have been SUPER BRIGHT. [EDIT for spelling.]

Saruman was the white because he was the chief of Wizards and supposed to lead the charge of good. Gandalf is the gray as he is a wanderer with no home who comes and goes as he pleases, as if in the gray mist. He becomes the white when he replaces Saruman after returning with greater power. Radagast is the brown because he was of Yavanna and tied to the beasts and birds in the woods. The blue wizards are blue because they vanished over the horizon under the blue sky.

I find it a bit of an issue that at ~1km, Aragorn is merely "wary," with no urgency to waking the fellowship and taking off early. That's just a few minutes' walk. Maybe you're not assuming they're walking straight towards the fellowship, that they're perhaps carefully searching... But that IS an assumption I would make, were I responsible for the safety of my companions. Especially considering the possibility that they may be running, as we saw in the movies. That's just a couple minutes away, and waking up can take time.

[@Michael-bw7tz]

sure but then the light would change, and Frodo now being alerted would be watching it@@kenrfc

[@siriusczech]

It is not too big deal - if shines = orc(s) are nearby, but cannot see them or hear them yet and they are not near enough. It can easily be a stray orc or two hunting for food and sniffinc on the other side of the river. Having the sword out would easily serve as a sonar, an "orcdar" as named - once it would start glowing more intensely, it would absolutely mean raising silent alarm, readying for defense and preparing quick withdrawal into nearby ships. And remember, Aragorn can hear really well, Legolas has godlike senses as well and they have a place and means to provide fighting retreat if necessary. No need to wake up rest of the group if orcdar doesn´t show any progress in terms of it´s light growing.

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

You've got to remember that this isn't nice roads with clear obvious areas that people would stop at. They're searching while also moving through uncleared hilly forestry at night time, it's going to slow them down immensely. That said, the distance is still far too close for my liking for an unknown number of enemies from an unknown direction. I guess you could argue that Aragorn trusts himself and Legolas to sense them before they're dangerously close and/or he has some knowledge/skill that lets him judge their distance and direction to some extent. BUT personally I think it works better if the range is 4-5 greater than the conclusion in the video. E.g. if Aragorn can tell from the brightness that they're at least 2km away (or greater) then his reaction seems more reasonable to me because it significantly reduces the odds of them stumbling upon them, which is a genuine risk at the distance speculated in the video.

[@13g0man]

1km is roughly 10 minutes march on clear flat ground by current standards. If they were going faster they would make noise, and that is very easy to detect at night. If the orcs were searching carefully it could be 20-30 mins away for their nearest forces. Its fairly safe to assume that they would keep Sting unsheathed and check on it every minute or so to monitor how bright it was getting. If it got too much brighter they would wake Legolas and have him go scouting, much brighter than that they would wake everyone and abandon camp. 5 minutes out is about as close as you would want enemy forces to be before reacting to them.

I agree with the conclusion, but some of the shagrat evidence is sketchy. Sam had the ring and there’s reason to believe that the “elvish” light from Sting was somehow frightening or dazzling to shagrat aside from its level of brightness, especially given its comparison to “twinkling stars”. The fact that sting stung his eyes can’t be assumed to be entirely due to its brightness.

Starting with the premise that well crafted systems provide information that’s useful to the user, I would think that sensitivity/range would depend in part on the wielder’s interest in the proximity of orcs.
