Love the elvish. 🙂 Am a little sad that Excalibur didn’t win, but this has just made me want to go and read Chronicles of Narnia (probably am the only one who hasn’t).

I really thought Excalibur would win. But the next best thing would be Rhindon. 🙂 You should read Narnia, the books are so much more involved and fun than the movies.

Sad that Martin the Warrior’s sword didn’t win, but Peter has a pretty epic blade as well. Loved the post and the Elvish you sprinkled in. 🙂

Thanks, Claire! I hope I did a good job of imitating Arwen, haha. ^_^ Yeah, I’d voted for Martin’s sword and Excalibur. But I can’t complain since I’m a Narnia fan too. 🙂

Congratulations to Rhindon! (I didn’t know that Peter’s sword had a name… Whoops. I’m listened to the Chronicles of Narnia right now and I’m on “The Horse and His Boy.” I’ll have to listen for Rhindon’s name is one of the later books.)
Great post, too! I loved reading some Elvish.

Thanks, I hoped the Elvish would give the post an Arwen feel. 🙂

He does, indeed! Rhindon is a cool name to say, too. I didn’t know his sword had a name until this Award.

Thank you Arwen, for gracing us with your presence and beautiful words. I can see that Elrond has taught you well in the judgement of blades for Rhindon would have been a worthy blade for any Middle Earth warrior!

Yay for Peter’s sword!!! I voted for Susan’s bow, although in all honesty I think her horn is the best “weapon” in the entire series.

Her horn, yes! That or her bow would have been fun to see win, too. But Rhindon is pretty cool. Maybe next year they’ll have a chance. 😀

YAY, IT’S ARWEN!!! I loved seeing her present the award. 😀 And all the Elvish was lovely to read.
Congratulations to Rhindon! (No idea Peter’s sword had a name, to be honest, but it’s pretty frabjous. ^_^) I was rooting for Susan’s bow, but Rhindon is a worthy winner.
Can hardly wait for next year’s awards!

Thank you, Mary! I was thrilled to have Arwen on the blog!
I had no idea Peter’s sword had a name until this event, either. ^_^ Maybe next year Susan’s bow will take the lead? I can’t wait to find out! There will be new presenters for the awards too, so I’m eager to find out who I’ll have next year on this blog!
