One of the best swords in fiction is Excalibur from Arthurian legend. It was said to be a magical sword given to King Arthur, symbolizing his right to rule. Another great one is Sting from 'The Lord of the Rings'. It glows blue in the presence of orcs, which is very useful for Frodo and his companions. And let's not forget Andúril from the same series, which was reforged from the shards of Narsil. It was a symbol of Aragorn's kingship and a powerful weapon against the forces of Sauron.
The Sword in the Stone is an iconic sword in fiction. The idea of a sword stuck in a stone that only the true king can pull out is a classic concept. In 'Fullmetal Alchemist', Edward Elric's automail arm can transform into a blade, which is an iconic weapon in the series. It represents his determination and his ability to fight despite his physical limitations. The Gram from Norse mythology - inspired fictions is also iconic. It was a powerful sword with a great backstory, often associated with heroes who were destined for great things.
Well, 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien can be found for free in some places online and it's a great swords and sorcery - like story with adventures, magic, and battles. Another is 'The Sword of Shannara' by Terry Brooks. There are versions available for free reading on certain platforms.
Swords are significant in fiction because they can set the tone of a story. A story set in a medieval - like world with swords everywhere gives a sense of a more primitive, perhaps more honor - based society compared to a modern - day story. For example, in Conan the Barbarian stories, the sword is central to the violent and heroic world of Conan. It's a tool for survival and dominance in that harsh fictional environment.
Well, swords in fiction can vary a great deal. In some stories like 'Game of Thrones', swords are not just weapons but also have political significance. Ned Stark's sword Ice is a family heirloom, and its confiscation is a sign of the changing political tides in the story. They can also be magical, like Excalibur in the Arthurian legends, which gives the wielder special powers.
The Masamune from various Japanese fictional works is also extremely powerful. In some stories, it is crafted by a master swordsmith and has incredible sharpness and durability. It can be used by skilled warriors to defeat powerful foes with ease. It represents the pinnacle of sword - making in Japanese culture within those fictional tales.
The Sword of Gryffindor from the Harry Potter series is also really cool. It has a ruby in the hilt and only presents itself to a true Gryffindor in times of need. It's been used by Harry and his friends to fight against the forces of evil, which makes it an iconic and cool fictional sword.
