Bright Was the Sword When Made Whole Again
- "Very brilliant was that sword when it was made whole again; the lite of the sunday shone redly in it, and the calorie-free of the moon shone common cold, and its border was hard and swell. And Aragorn gave it a new name and chosen it Andúril, Flame of the Due west."
- —J.R.R. Tolkien[2]
Andúril, too chosen the Flame of the Westward 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 Two Elessar, heir of Isildur.

History
3rd Age
State of war of the Ring
Narsil, before it was reforged as Andúril
After the Council of Elrond, the Elves of Rivendell reforged Narsil into a new sword, which Aragorn named Andúril. He carried information technology throughout the quest of the Fellowship of the Ring. In Lothlórien, Galadriel and Celeborn gave Aragorn a sheath for Andúril. Information technology was fabricated past 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 and so that the blade that was drawn from it would not be stained or broken, even in defeat.[3]
In Rohan, Aragorn used it as evidence of his heritage when he, Legolas, and Gimli first met Éomer. He reluctantly ready it bated earlier meeting Théoden, telling Háma that expiry would come to whatever human except himself who drew it from its scabbard.[1]
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 proper name Andúril means "Flame of the West", from the Quenya andúnë ("west, sunset") and ril ("brilliance").[4]
Portrayal in adaptations
Aragorn holding Andúril, the blade Narsil reforged, as depicted in The Lord of the Rings pic trilogy by Peter Jackson
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy
The sword'southward first appearance, as Narsil, is in Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Band in the possession of Elendil during the Battle of Dagorlad, holding it loftier to rally his men to him. Sauron emerges and kills both Gil-galad and Elendil. Isildur rushes to Elendil'southward aid, but Elendil is already expressionless. Isildur picks up the sword to fight Sauron himself, just Sauron knocks aside Isildur'southward attacks and stomps on the blade, shattering it into several pieces. Sensing victory, Sauron reaches for Isildur to finish him off, simply the Man, unbowed, manages to use the hilt of Narsil and what remained of its broken blade to cut the One Ring from Sauron'south hand. It is not seen once more until Aragorn and the Hobbits arrive at Rivendell nether the baby-sit and care of Elrond and his Elves.
After Aragorn and the Hobbits safely arrive in Rivendell, Aragorn takes time to balance and is reading a book when he is disturbed past Boromir's intrusion. Boromir, seemingly in awe of the mythical sword grabs the hilt, runs his finger along the blade and cuts himself — surprised that the blade is even so abrupt afterwards three,000 years, and so accidentally drops the hilt on the ground when he catches Aragorn staring at him. Aragorn, out of respect, picks the hilt up and returns information technology to its rightful spot.
The sword is not seen over again until The Render of the King when Aragorn and the Rohirrim are camped at Dunharrow. Arwen pleads with her father Elrond to reforge the sword, convinced that the enemy could exist defeated. Reluctantly, Elrond agreed and had the shards of Narsil reforged into Andúril past the smiths of Rivendell. The sword was then engraved with runes saying "Anar. Nányë Andúril I né Narsil i macil Elendilo. Lercuvantan i móli Mordórëo. Isil." in Quenya, which translates as "Sun. I am Andúril who was once Narsil, sword of Elendil. The slaves of Mordor shall flee from me. Moon".[5]
The sword was presented to Aragorn at Dunharrow by Elrond, who, forth with Andúril, brought grave news. Elrond's daughter, Arwen, was dying and her fate was at present tied to that of the One Ring. His other news was as grim: while Sauron'south armies marched onto Minas Tirith, the Dark Lord has sent a fleet of Corsairs sailing for Gondor from the south that will go far in two days. Elrond had one piece of advice to temper the ill news; If Aragorn took the Paths of the Dead, with the ability of Andúril he would be able to call forth an ground forces greater than whatever living army, and with that army he would have a chance to finish the Corsairs and salve Arwen. It was this sword that manages to have outcome on the leader of the residents of the Paths of the Dead, unlike Legolas' arrow or Gimli's axe. Aragorn uses the sword every bit his main weapon for the rest of the film. In an extended scene, just before the boxing before the Morannon, Aragorn confronts Sauron through Saruman's palantír, and goads him by showing him "the sword of Elendil" that defeated Sauron during the Second Age. Sauron, however, responds with a vision of a dying Arwen, shaking Aragorn'due south confidence and making him driblet and shatter the Evenstar.
A prop is currently owned by Stephen Colbert,[6] and Queen Noor knighted him with that same sword.[seven]
The Hobbit motion picture trilogy
In the extended edition of Jackson's An Unexpected Journeying, the shards of Narsil appear as Bilbo Baggins explores Rivendell, after he, Gandalf, and Thorin Oakenshield's company of Dwarves take refuge there during their quest to reclaim Erebor. Bilbo passes by the shards of Narsil and the altar they were laid upon, and takes a cursory moment to examine the fresco that showed Isildur raising the hilt of the broken sword against Sauron, of which Bilbo'southward attention is drawn towards the One Band on Sauron'south paw.
