History of Narsil From LOTR
The famous Dwarf Telchar forged the sword Narsil in the First Age, with its companion knife named Angrist. During the Second Age, it seems that Narsil was taken to Númenor and later came into the possession of Elendil of Andúnië. In the War of the Last Alliance, Narsil shattered into two pieces when its wielders, Elendil and Gil-galad, were slain in their battle against Sauron. King Isildur, Elendil’s son, cut the One Ring of power from Sauron’s hand by using the broken sword which made him vanquish.
Isildur held the shards, but his life was cut short, and his squire Ohtar delivered the pieces to Rivendell. In Rivendell, Isildur’s descendants inherited the broken sword, and it eventually came into the possession of Aragorn in the Third Age. With the intent to embark on the Quest of the Ring, the Elves remade Narsil into the Andúril Sword, which Aragorn wielded in significantly important battles.Battle of Pelennor Fields and the Battle of the Black Gate etc.
