The History of Narsil & Andúril, Blade of Kings - Artifacts of Arda

Andúril, reforged from Narsil, was the blade of the new king of Gondor and Arnor, Aragorn, just as Narsil had been the sword of the first king of those realms, Elendil. The history of the sword speaks to the ancientry of the kings of Men in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about Narsil and Andúril in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
