Glamdring, Foe-Hammer, (Gandalf's sword), Beater, belonged to the King of Gondolin, I want to say Turgon, but that is a guess. Orcrist, Goblin-Cleaver, Biter, (Thorin's sword), also from Gondolin, who was it's original owner?

You are correct. Glamdring was Turgon's sword, but to be consistent with the theme of this thread "the King of Gondolin" is all that is mentioned in the Hobbit. There is no mention of the owner of Orcrist, and I apologize for including it in my original question.

Your go, Lizra

Lizra · 11-26-2002, 01:14 PM

I'll pass it to Agburanar.....Agburanar, ask us a question! (Barrelrider, do you know who Orcrist belonged to from some other source?)

Lizra,
I found this the TORN site in Greenbooks Q&A:

Quote:

Q: I wanted to know who, in Gondolin, bore Orcrist, Thorin's sword in The Hobbit.â€“CÃ*rdan
A: All we know of Orcrist is what Elrond tells usâ€“it was "a famous blade." One can only conjecture that its bearer was one of the two most famous lords of Gondolin whose names we know, Ecthelion of the Fountain who slew Gothmog Lord of Balrogs, orâ€“more interestingly, in view of Tolkien's later writingsâ€“Glorfindel of the House of the Golden Flower, who, it is thought, returned to Middle-earth and dwelt in Rivendell when Thorin brought the blade there.â€“Ostadan
