Arwen's sword is called Hadhafang which means Throng-cleaver.  It once belonged to the Elven princess Idril, who wed a
mortal man and bore Earendil, Elrond's father who in turn was  Arwen's father.  Before Arwen's birth Elrond wielded Hadhafang at the end of the second age of "Middle-Earth," during the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron. Later his daughter Arwen used Hadhafang when she aided Frodo in his escape from the Ringwraiths.

Inscribed on the blade are runes in the Elven language of Sindarin that say "aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i thang an i arwen." This translates to "this blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady."  There is an intentional pun in the inscription - the Sindarin translation of "noble lady" is "arwen", so in effect, the blade claims to be for Arwen, even though it was made for her grandmother.  Beautiful and unique, this piece will make a fantastic addition to your collection.  United is a liscensed manufacturer of "Lord of the Rings" swords and only uses the finest materials and workmanship.
