Anduril

1390 au$

Before leaving the Elven homestead at Rivendell Strider first had his forefathers' sword Narsil reforged anew by Elvish smiths. On it's blade it had now been engraved with crescent moon, a rayed sun, and between them seven stars as word breaks amongst many runes. These Cirth runes are in the Sindarin language.

On the blade - Between the Sun and Crescent moon :
"IM*AEN*ESTAR*ANDURIL*LACH*NED*I*ANNUN : I Am Called Anduril Flame of the West"

On the reverse, between a device of the White Tree of Gondor over Gondorian Wings, and a Sun & Crescent Moon.
"TAUR*NED*GONDOR*GOBBENATHREN*A*SI*MAETHA*ENNI : Kings of Gondor Past and Present Wield Me"
