Re-forging of Narsil

[Tom Sommer]

Hi all

I was wondering, when did the reforging of Narsil take place? was it at the Counsil of Elrond because then I missed it, it seemed that suddenly Aragorn was carring Andúril?

If you are talking about the movie, the reforging of Narsil did not take place at the Council of Elrond, but if you are talking about the books, Narsil was reforged in the week before the Fellowship set out from Rivendell.

By the way, welcome to the forum!

Thank you

Yes I was talking about the book

The re-forging is set to take place in the beginning of the ROTK movie

I guess I missed the reforging then :/

It was never described in any book. It was never fully mentioned until the Fellowship was a few pages past Rivendell. You didn't miss more than a few sentences.

And also, in the books, Aragorn has Narsil, or should i say Anduril for the entire journey... in the Movies, he hasnt even gotten it yet

 

[HLGStrider]

Which is sad. . . Sigh. . .

Si, Aragorn had his sword to fight with and it gave him a lot of nice scenes.

 

[olorin the maia]

agreed, it is very sad that the movie depicts Aragorn as going to war against the servants of Sauron without Anduril. What nonsense!
The Author describes the true events and that is all that really matters.

Sword

Is the name of the sword that he used before the reforging ever mention or is any info given about it?

 

[Niniel]

In the book he carried Narsil with him all the way, even though it was broken. He had no other weapon. In the film he did have a sword, but I believe it's just called his 'Ranger sword' and doesn't have a name.

 

[Tom Sommer]

Before reforging it was called Narsil, the sword that cut the ring from saurons hand in the Last Alliance... after the reforging it is called Andúril

 

[FrankSinatra]

Yes

It is just mentioned that he has it, when they leave Rivendell.

Bilbo mentions it to Frodo i think, when he talks about Frodo's sword not being repaired.

 

[Tom Sommer]

I think they are going to make a big deal about it in the next movie...

A symbol of Aragorn's refound strengh and will to govern Gondor

There used to be a thread entitled 'Aragorn's Weapon' that discussed why he was caring a broken sword and what other weapons he might possibly have on hand. . . It might be interesting to dig up.

 

[Niniel]

I tried, but I couldn't find it... maybe it wasn't called that, or it was spelled wrong or something (or I didn't look hard enough )

Here is the thread "Aragorn's Weapon" if anyone is interested
