The Lord Of The Rings: 10 Most Powerful Swords In Middle-Earth

Now, it's time for the main event, the reformed blade that effortlessly holds the title for being the most iconic sword shown in the Lord of the Rings series, Andúril.

This sword was forged from the shards of Narsil, meaning it simultaneously acts as a conduit of history whilst still being an entirely new blade. It was crafted for use by Aragorn, the heir of Isildur and the Throne of Gondor, and was a massive aide in his battle against Sauron.

There's so much to this sword that makes it the most powerful, with the simplest being how well crafted it is. The blade is tall, giving it the feeling of a longsword, yet perfectly balanced to allow Aragorn to swing it with ease. However, another vital element was its ability to command the armies of the dead, who turned the tide of battle at Pelennor Fields. No Andúril equals no victory for Gondor.

Overall, Anduril is more than just a weapon; it's a symbol of the rise of a new King and a new dawn of peace for Middle-Earth. However, it's still an unbelievably powerful sword even without the symbolic significance.
