Narsil

Narsil was the powerful sword wielded by the kings of Gondor prior to and during the first war against Sauron. Its most notable bearer was Elendil, the father of Isildur.

During the final battle of the first war against Sauron, Narsil was shattered by Sauron, and Elendil slain. However, upon wielding a shard of the blade, Isildur succeeded in cutting the One Ring from the hand of Sauron, this defeating the ruler of Mordor and brought temporary peace to Middle Earth.

During the second and final War of the Ring, Narsil was reforged by the elves into Anduril, the Flame of the West.
