Anduril is an iconic sword in the literary work of J.R.R. Tolkien, specifically in his "Lord of the Rings" series of novels. This sword is also known as "The Flame of the West" or "The Sword that Was Broken" and plays a crucial role in the history and destiny of the character Aragorn.
Some details about the sword Anduril and its meaning in Tolkien's work are:
History of the Sword: Anduril was forged from the fragments of the sword Narsil. Narsil was the sword of King Elendil of Gondor, which was broken in battle against the Dark Lord Sauron in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Shards of Narsil were kept in the House of Kings in Gondor for many generations.
Reforging of Anduril: Aragorn, whose real name was Aragorn II, but was also known as Strider, was the heir of Isildur, the son of Elendil. When Aragorn accepted his destiny as king of Gondor, the sword Narsil was reforged by the elves of Rivendell and renamed Anduril, which means "Flame of the West" in Sindarin. This reforging process symbolized the rebirth of hope and unity in the fight against the forces of darkness.
Anduril Symbolism: Anduril became a powerful symbol of the lineage of the kings of Gondor and Arnor, and of hope for Middle-earth. The sword represented Aragorn's legitimacy as king and his role as leader in the war against Sauron.
Usage in Battle: Aragorn carried Anduril in numerous battles and crucial moments during his quest to defeat Sauron and restore peace to Middle-earth. The sword proved to be a formidable tool in his fight against the forces of evil.
Fate of Anduril: After Sauron's defeat and the restoration of Gondor, Anduril became a royal treasure and was passed down from king to king in Aragorn's line. The sword symbolizes the peace and prosperity that returned to Middle-earth under Aragorn's reign.
The sword Anduril is a significant element in the epic "The Lord of the Rings," and its story reflects themes of honor, inheritance and rebirth that are central to Tolkien's work.
