Lord of the Rings – High Elven Warrior Sword

Description of the Product

Millions have grown up with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings since the 1950’s. The classic epic is considered by many to be the greatest fantasy tale ever told. The story is one of the struggle between good and evil, but also of the role small ordinary folk can play in changing the world. The book trilogy was named the most popular book of the 20th Century, and Peter Jacksons feature film trilogy has won awards, as well as a legendary status of its own, since coming out in 2001-2003. The Hobbit is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings, the book having been published in 1937, and the movie trilogy having come out 2012-2014. The movies brought Middle-earth to life in stunning and faithful detail, giving that world an unimaginable authenticity, which is a major part of why the movies are still so beloved. We are thrilled to be able to bring you the swords and other weapons from these films. They may not be forged by high elves in Gondolin, or Weta Workshop in New Zealand, but they are officially licensed and meticulously crafted by United Cutlery, so that you too can own a piece of the magic.

The War of the Last Alliance was fought at the end of the Second Age. Morgoth’s greatest servant Sauron hated the Men of Númenór, especially Elendil, and schemed to bring about the Downfall of Númenór. When the island sank into the waves, some Faithfuls, led by Elendil, were able to escape to Middle-earth where they established two realms, Arnor and Gondor. Sauron’s diminished spirit too was able to escape to Middle-earth, to Mordor. When Sauron and the Númenóreans realized that the other had not perished in the Fall as thought, a war broke out.

The Men of Númenór, led by Elendil, were joined by Gil-galad. He was the High King of the Noldor, the noblest of all Elves who had seen the light of the trees in Valinor. Gil-galad and Elendil created the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in order to defeat the evil of Sauron and his legions of orcs. Together for years they prepared for the coming war, forging weapons for the Men and the High Elves. Gil-galad was joined in command by Elrond, and Elendil was joined by his son Isildur. The Alliance eventually marched on Mordor, and won the Battle of Dagorlad in front of the Black Gates, and pushed into Mordor. Eventually on the slopes of Mount Doom, despite heavy losses (including Gil-galad and Elendil themselves), the Alliance managed to defeat Sauron and cut the One Ring from his finger, marking the end of the Second Age.
