Sting

Interesting point about the battle-cries, Orual. So maybe the filmmakers were trying not to glorify weapons so much? While the main swords are all beautiful pieces of work, the only one that really gets alluded to heavily is Sting, and that is more for its fine craftsmanship than its power. This is a nice change, I suppose, from all of the modern day movies such as Blade or Men in Black that make people think, "Man, I want one of those!"
