Forged in Gondolin, wielded by Gandalf.

Very good. That one was really easy. Sorry I didn't have time to make a harder one.

Additional Factoid - it was originally wielded by Turgon.

- Cirdan (formerly Maglor68)

Who forged anglachael, and who were the 2 whom wielded it?

The sword forged by Eol the Dark Elf and borne by Beleg of Doriath. It was later reforged as Túrin's black sword, Gurthang.

Is anduril a (magical) sword or not.

To answer the Adnúril question, the following quotes seem to show magical power:

Quote:

But even as the orc flung down the truncheon and swept out his scimitar, Andúril came down upon his helm. There was a flash like flame and the helm burst asunder. The orc fell with cloven head. His followers fled howling, as Boromir and Aragorn sprang at them.

Quote:

Aragorn threw back his cloak. The elven-sheath glittered as he grasped it, and the bright blade of Andúril shone like a sudden flame as he swept it out.

Quote:

The light of Andúril must now be uncovered in the battle for which it has so long waited.

Quote:

Charging from the side, they hurled themselves upon the wild men. Andúril rose and fell, gleaming with white fire. A shout went up from wall and tower: 'Andúril! Andúril goes to war. The Blade that was Broken shines again!'

Quote:

Three times Aragorn and Éomer rallied them, and three times Andúril flamed in a desperate charge that drove the enemy from the wall.

I think that's enough examples, but there are more.

So, the answer is yes. Though I don't know if the question was one for the quiz room (I mistakenly answered is if it were in THE BOOKS, not realizing it was supposed to be a quiz question.)

Orome · 09-06-2002, 06:52 PM

i think that, as with many things in ME it depends on how you define magical. that being said what do you mean by magical?

anduril444 · 09-07-2002, 04:27 PM

That anduril glows with a flame in sunlight and white flame in moonlight.Now to us humans that's magical.
