Andúril
Item from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Flame of the West — the reforged sword of Elendil, broken when Sauron was first defeated and remade for Aragorn as the symbol of the returning king.
Also known as: Andúril, Flame of the West, Narsil reforged, the Sword that was Broken, Narsil, the Sword of Elendil
What They Know
- Narsil broke when Elendil fell fighting Sauron — Isildur used the broken hilt-shard to cut the Ring from Sauron's hand
- The shards were kept in Rivendell for nearly three thousand years before the reforging
- Andúril commands the allegiance of the Dead Men of Dunharrow — they swore their oath to its original wielder's bloodline
- Aragorn carried the broken shards as 'Strider' for years before accepting the reforged blade
- The reforging was done by Elven smiths in Rivendell — a blade this significant required craft beyond mortal skill
