The Sword Reforged

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

The trailer has provided us with a good bit of information concerning the sword reforged. We know now that Arwen returns tor Rivendell, and brings the shards to the smiths of old Eregion. Then Elrond takes the sword to Aragorn, probably replacing Halbarad in giving his own words, to take the Paths of the Dead. Somebody speculated that there were elven banners in the background of a shot of Aragorn, which makes a decent argument for Elrond bringing Elladan and Elrohir along with him to join the fight, but it seems that Arwen will remain at Rivendell. The reforged sword is seemingly a necessary tool now, required for amassing the army of the dead. It's the proof they need. So if Elrond brings his words, he'll probably bring the banner made by Arwen (if it's there) and he'll probably be a decent temporary replacement for Halbarad. He might even bring Aragorn's horse, though I doubt it since the Two Towers Brego will probably remain his, given the fact that the taming of the horse gave Aragorn a connection to the Rohirrim and is attached to him permanently now.<P>I hope Elrond brings the Grey Party, even if they don't go into the Paths, he would need an escort of some kind, what with all the wild men running around in Dunharrow.
