Tolkien’s Lore:
Andúril was forged from the Shards of Narsil for the rightful King of Men Aragorn in 3018 of the third age. After carrying the Shards for most of his life, Aragorn has the sword reforged prior to the Fellowship departing from Rivendell. The sword then receives a special scabbard made by Galadriel in Lothlorien that would protect it from damage even in defeat. Aragorn wields this sword to lead armies of men and lay his claim as heir to the throne of Gondor.
“The Sword of Elendil was forged anew by Elvish smiths, and on its blade was traced a device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes; for Aragorn son of Arathorn was going to war upon the marches of Mordor. Very bright was that sword when it was made whole again; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, its edge was hard and keen. And Aragorn gave it a new name and called it Andúril, Flame of the West.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
This battle ready sword is inspired by the Anduril shape from the Lord of the Rings films.
