Re: Reused art

Though the hilts are different, the blades of Anduril are similar wrt to the engravings of sun, stars and moon in the Aragorn and Anduril illustrations. The close-up of Aragorn is from the full-scale painting.

Too bad, this series was available in German, too, but as it's outdated now it has been removed from the TV station's server :cry:
