Year 3018 – The Lord of the Rings
December 18 (approximately)
- While the newborn Fellowship of the Ring prepares for departure, Narsil is reforged and named Aduril
The Sword of Elendil was forged anew by Elvish smiths, and on its blade was traced a device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes; for Aragorn son of Arathorn was going to war upon the marches of Mordor. Very bright was that sword when it was made whole again; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, and its edge was hard and keen. And Aragorn gave it a new name and called it Anduril, Flame of the West.
[The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 2, Chapter 3: The Ring Goes South]
