Sting Sword is a magical sword given to
Frodo Baggins by his cousin Bilbo, the original Ring bearer. It is up to
Frodo and the chosen "Fellowship" to cast the Ring back into the fires
of Mount Doom, where it was originally forged, and destroy it once and
for all.
Bilbo gives Sting, a sword made by Elves in the ancient days, to Frodo
to serve him on his harrowing journey. Bilbo carried Sting with him when
he originally acquired the Ring from Gollum. Sting's blade glows when
Orcs, the violent foot soldiers of Sauron, are present.
Engraved on the blade and cross guard are runes in the Elven language of
Sindarin that say "Maegnas is my name, I am the spider's bane".
