glamdring

Glamdring is extremely sharp, extremely durable, and glows around orcs. However, we can craft specialty alloy swords which are incredibly sharp, we can sharpen swords pretty easily, and they already last longer than the lifetime of a human being if maintained - the durability of Glamdring is...

I am sure this one has been on everyones mind, and it has been on mine for many years. It is actually insane how three very stupid trolls had Orkrist, and maybe the most famouse swords of all, Glamdring in their possesion. As everyone knows Glamdring used to belong to Turgon King of Gondolin...

The following question has occurred to me several times when the topic of Glamdring glowing in the presence of orcs has come up in the movie sections. First, some quick background. We all know that Sting and Glamdring (and Orcrist) are elven blades from the Elder Days and glow in the presence...

I was at an old country store this weekend where the wife was purusing the quilts and blackberry jam when I spot a full size replica of both Anduril and Glamdring. They also had Gimli's axe and some kind of axe used on the Buffy series (according to my daughter). The older lady that runs the...

im wondering does anyone know more about the origins of glamdring and orcrist. i know that glamdring belonged to turgon king of gondolin according to elrond in the hobbit but i cant seem to find anything else about them help me plzzzzzz!!!:(

There have been some questions going around about how did Gandalf, after falling into the abyss behind the Balrog in the Mines of Moria, retrieve his sword to battle with the demon in the depths of Moria. This thread is to discuss this very matter. What are your thoughts, and how do you think he...

i was wondering...how could gamdalf fight (helms deep, the last battle) if he obviously didnt have his sword after he fought the balrog? The sword wouldve broken or something!

Now I have looked all 5 times I have seen the movie and Glamdring does not glow when Gandalf pulls it out, but Sting does, now I'm kinda confused, so I looked in the Hobbit and it is supposed to glow when orks or goblins are near.

Who forged Sting, Glamdring, and Orchrist (spelling?). Does anyone know their history other than they were found in the Trollshaws (how did they get there?)? I think they were forged by elves? Anything else? JoA
