 Arwen's sword is called Hadhafang which means
Throng-cleaver. It once belonged to the Elven princess Idril, who wed a
mortal man and bore Earendil, the father of Elrond who in turn was
father to Arwen. Before Arwen's birth Elrond wielded Hadhafang at the
end of the second age of "Middle-Earth," during the Last Alliance of
Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron. Later his daughter
Arwen used Hadhafang when she aided Frodo in his escape from the
Ringwraiths. Inscribed on the blade are runes in the Elven language of
Sindarin that say "aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i
thang an i arwen." This translates to "this blade is called Hadhafang, a
noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady."

grown up with "The Lord of the Rings," the classic epic tale considered
by millions to be the greatest fantasy-adventure story ever told. J.R.R.
Tolkien's phenomenal epic trilogy chronicles the struggle between good
and evil for possession of a magical ring. The book trilogy, named the
most popular book of the 20th Century, is the motion picture event of
the 21st Century. "The Lord of the Rings" is presented in a trilogy of
feature films from New Line Cinema, "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The
Two Towers," and "The Return of the King," the last to be released in
December 2003. A work of sheer invention on a staggering scale, "The
Lord of the Rings" takes us back to Middle-earth, an era that predates
written history, where humans share the world with immortal elves,
powerful wizards, and industrious dwarves. |
