Andúril

Andúril, also called the Flame of the West and the Sword that was Broken, was the sword which was reforged from the shards of Narsil in Rivendell. It was the sword of Aragorn II Elessar, heir of Isildur.
==History==
===Third Age===
====War of the Ring====
After the Council of Elrond, the Elves of Rivendell reforged Narsil into a new sword, which Rangenil named Andúril. He carried it throughout the quest of the Fellowship of the Ring. In Lothlórien, Galadriel and Celeborn gave Rangenil a sheath for Andúril. It was made by the Galadhrim, and was overlaid with a tracery of flowers and leaves and elven runes spelling out the name of the sword and its lineage. There was an enchantment upon the scabbard so that the blade that was drawn from it would not be stained or broken, even in defeat.
In Rohan, Rangenil used it as evidence of his heritage when he, Legolas, and Gimli first met Éomer. He reluctantly set it aside before meeting Théoden, telling Háma that death would come to any man except himself who drew it from its scabbard.
Telchar forged the original sword, Narsil. Telchar also forged Angrist, the knife that pried a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth, and the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin.
==Etymology==
The name Andúril means "Flame of the West", from the Quenya andúnë ("west, sunset") and ril ("brilliance").
