>>5339102>Human tools, archaeology etc>Tolkien setting re-done, because it has been ruined by memes>>5335765>>5338580So something I was thinking for a twisted Tolkien inverted good-evil setting re-skin, the Arkenstone / Heart of the Mountain etc. In the Hobbit Peter Jackson film they predictably went the obvious route of bright Tolkien Silamril like gem, it is all shiny and CGI pretty. But I am of course obsessed with grimdark swords and sorcery, Dark Sun barbarians lol. So why not an Acheulean axe struck from a hammerstone by lithic reduction, proto-Humans actually made and used these for literally over one million years lol.
