Sting, Orcrist, & Glamdring

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank you for the quotes, Gorwingel. I had suspected that they were there, but been too lazy to look them up in the early hours of this morning. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

You are right, samrohan, that there would be little need of weapons in Valinor. No doubt, bows and spears would be used for hunting but swords would have little more than ceremonial status. Then again, with the Final Battle looming at some point in the distant future, they would need to keep in practice. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gandalf, would have had to have reached an accomodation with Turgon as to the ownership of Glamdring, of course, since Turgon was its original bearer and probably had the better claim to it. I suspect, in any event, that he would have more use for it (in ceremonial/heirloom terms, if nothing else) than Gandalf.

I wonder whether Frodo took Sting with him to the Undying Lands, or whether it ended up in the Shire's Mathom House with his mithril mail?
