Everyone remembers Éowyn's courage on the Pelennor Fields, but what about the small blade that made her victory possible? The enchanted dagger Merry carried from the Barrow-downs wasn't just any weapon—it was forged over a thousand years earlier by the desperate smiths of a dying kingdom, wound with spells specifically designed to harm the Witch-king and his servants.

In this deep dive, we explore the forgotten history of the Barrow-blade: from its creation in Arnor during the darkest days of the North Kingdom's fall, through centuries buried in cursed tombs, to Tom Bombadil's mysterious selection of it for a hobbit who would change the fate of Middle-earth.

Discover:
• How the blade was forged with ancient Númenórean and Elvish knowledge
• Why these weapons were specifically enchanted against Mordor's servants
• The connection between Glorfindel's prophecy and the blade's power
• How Tom Bombadil knew to choose these exact weapons
• Why the sword shattered after striking the Witch-king
• The partnership between Merry and Éowyn that fulfilled a thousand-year-old purpose

This is the untold story of a weapon that waited in darkness for its moment, wielded by the smallest warrior on the greatest battlefield, that ended the reign of the Lord of the Nazgûl.
