I can't believe this... black, swift, infamous... How can it NOT be Gurthang!!!

Um...


Is it the Original Grond, Hammer of Morgoth perhaps?? (not very hopeful)
OR could it be Grond, the battering ram of Mordor (even less hopeful)

aw man... i knew saucepan would get it :P







I always wondered, why on earth would a bloke like Bard carry a black arrow around with him? Also it was never specified whether the arrow was one of many, and just happened to be the last, or was the only black arrow he owned. Mayble all his arrows were black. :P

Good point Ossë, I just always assumed it was special, because if they were all black how could he save it for last? Anyway, you're up Mr. Sauce.

Silmaril

Orcs? They destroyed trees, and their foulness is already obvious.
