Elendil's Sword was called Narsil. It was shattered when Sauron killed Elendil in combat. The hilt-shard was used by Isildur to cut the One Ring from the hand of Sauron, thus wining the Last Battle of the Last Alliance. The Shards of Narsil were kept by Elrond, in Rivendell. The Sword that was Broken was reforged in the year 1419 SR by the elven-smiths of Rivendell to aid Aragorn, Isildurs heir, in his quest to destroy the One Ring and end the power of Sauron for ever. Aragorn renamed the dword "Anduril",the "Flame of the North"

as far as i know, it has no special abilities other than being an extremely potent weapon (+5 or maybe even +6). given its history with Sauron, it might have extra potency when facing demons.

<font color="gold">I've done a little research, and what you say, andrewas, is correct, except one thing. It was named "Andùril" or "Flame of the West", not north. The Flame of the North is a sword in SoA.</font>


see ya!

You know, with everyone trying to reinact the characters from "the Lord of the Rings" they overlook some of the other characters. Such as the Hobbits: Frodo; Bilbo; Sam; Merry; Pipin (these last two could be thieves!). Or even Brormir (fighter), Gimli (fighter/barbarian)and Legolas (who is my personal favourite, as an archer. I already have his THAC0 at -12 with some weapons and bracers at level 9!). Maybe even Saruman (wizard), Elrond (fighter), Arwen (the elf who helps Frodo to get to Rivendale as a fighter/cleric), Lurtz (the nasty half-orc fighter), Gil-Galad (fighter), Galadriel (druid) or Celeborn (archer).
But I would go with the real name of the weapon. I would name it Andùril - "Flame of the West". Give its real name at the start, then what it is otherwise known as after it.
