Yes, the shards of Narsil were reforged as Anduril before the Fellowship set out from Imladris, in the books. Elrond coming to the camp of the Rohirrim in Dunharrow was a complete fabrication. I assume Aragorn was carrying a generic blade of Arnor or Rivendell (probably the former) that he had carried with him since before he met the four hobbits in Bree in the movie version of the story.<p>[ 6:50 PM January 04, 2004: Message edited by: Lord of Angmar ]
