Glamdring

Description
Glamdring´s pommel was diamond shaped made out of black steel and ended in a point that held a dark purple amethyst the size of a small egg held in place. Another amethyst was set in the rain guard/chappe. The hilt was wrapped with black leather. The blade itself was light purple at the top of the guard and becoming darker further up the blade until it turned black. The sheath itself was also dark purple. However, the swords most distinctive trait was the shape of the blade; while double edged, both sides of the forte thinned inward slightly which allowed it to catch other bladed. A series of elvish glyphs also ran up the area in a single line. The scabbard was also dark purple. The cross-guard was made out of black steel and slightly curved into points. The weapon was often described as a thing of great beauty. Glamdring was 3 1/2 feet long. The sword was a one-handed sword as it was wielded with one hand while the wielder was free to use the other hand to cast magic or use a shield. When he lost his leg to the sword, Glaedr describe it as ¨a cold, pinching sensation as if the blade is made out of ice instead of brightsteel.¨
