Arwen’s sword, known as Hadhafang or “Throng-cleaver,” has a fascinating history. It originally belonged to Elven princess Idril, who married a mortal and became the mother of Earendil. Later, it came into the possession of Elrond, Arwen’s father. Elrond used Hadhafang in the significant Last Alliance battle against Sauron at the end of the second age in Middle-Earth. Afterward, Arwen wielded Hadhafang to help Frodo escape the Ringwraiths, showcasing its diverse legacy.
The blade bears inscriptions in Sindarin, the Elven language, reading, “This blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady.” Originally, it included a line about Idril, Arwen’s grandmother, but space constraints led to its omission. The inscription cleverly plays with the Sindarin translation of “arwen,” meaning “noble lady,” creating a connection to Arwen, though the sword was crafted for her grandmother.

Nothing wrong with the sword — packaging was too thin though.
