what kind of an immoirtal god king would need to raise their arms? that is peasant thinking.
maybe to swing your turgid mace down on a weak man-king so insolently defying your domination of middle earth?
I have people for my turgid mace work needs. Experts even.
I'm more of an idea guy.
I checked WIkipedia after I saw this post...

Now it just means power fantasy isekai for 14 year old gooners 😔
Even the autistic elf anime gets a little sus.
Don't let the wikipedia nerds see literally any pauldron from Warhammer 40k
Hey, there are plenty of perfectly reasonable pauldrons in Warhammer 40k, the average is just thrown off by people like pauldrons georg
"Oh no, that physical embodiment of bloodlust is going to poke themselves in the head!"

Have you ever wondered why it's known as the Eye of Sauron and not the Eyes of Sauron?
He poked one of his eyes out with his spiky pauldrons during the War of the Last Alliance. That's actually why he lost physical form, not that movie nonsense where Isildur cuts his finger and he implodes like an evil fart. Maybe read the books next time before you embarrass yourself.
The literal angelic being and arguably most powerful entity in the continent with command over matter and magic could not have foreseen they'd poke their eye out or do anything about it.
I guess that's why they'd be fixed relative to the torso, and not the arms or shoulders.
