All That is Gold (ATG3 - Day 10)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

[...]

'...I am Aragorn, and those verses go with that name.' He drew out his sword, and they saw that the blade was indeed broken a foot below the hilt. 'Not much use is it, Sam?' said Strider. 'But the time is near when it shall be forged anew.'

-The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien, "Chapter 10: Strider"

"Draw a pony from a legend/Draw a pony with a story. I know this is going to provoke questions, and yes, "legend" does not just mean something very old. Take your inspiration from any source that resonates with you, and bring your ponies up to meet it." -Phoe

Was there ever any doubt which source I was going to pick for this one?

[Update: Managed to miss a couple of shadows and the stars in the original version. Fixed.]
