Narsil Sword, the ancient
sword of the King Elendil. It was the Narsil sword that severed the ring
of power from the hand of Sauron. Engraved on the pommel are runes in
the Elven language of Sindarin that say: Narsil is my name, a mighty
sword; Telchar made me in Nogrod.
Narsil is perhaps the most famous sword in the "Lord of the Rings"
trilogy. At the end of the second age of Middle-earth, Narsil’s blade
was shattered as Elendil fell during the Last Alliance of Elves and Men
in the great battle of Sauron. Isuldur, Elendil’s son, then used the
broken hilt of Narsil to cut the One Ring from Sauron’s finger, breaking
the bonds of his power, banishing his evil shadow into the darkness.
