The High Elf King’s Sword "Ringil" - is an original design, conceived by the designers at Arms of Valor, Ltd. and put to canvas by award winning artist Tania Diotalevi Hodges. “Ringil the sword of Fingolfin, said to have glittered like ice. With it he wounded Morgoth in single combat after the Dagor Bragollach (see note below)” |

| Brought
to life by our skilled craftsmen, the blade is highly polished hand forged
high carbon spring steel, and fully battle-ready. The hilt features
a solid pommel and crossguard with a wooden handle wrapped in leather.
A wooden scabbard covered with leather and cast metal throat and end caps
is also included.
"The Silmarillion" is the history of the rebellion of Fëanor and his people against the gods, their exile in Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism of Elves and Men, against the great Enemy. Among the stories told is the story of the great High Elf King Fingolfin and his bravery as he challenged Morgoth (the Dark Lord) to single combat. In vivid detail you can read the accounts of his deeds as well as those of many other heroes of middle earth. After the great battle of “Dagor Bragollach”……………..”Fingolfin beheld, as it seemed to him, the utter ruin of his people, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses. Therefore he did his silver arms and took his white helm and his sword Ringil and his blue shield set with a star of crystal, and mounting upon Rochallor he rode alone to Angband’s gate and challenged Morgoth to come forth and Morgoth came though he was afraid of the duel. Now Morgoth swung his hammer Grond down like a bolt of thunder but each time Fingolfin leaped away and seven times he wounded Morgoth with Ringil, but at last Fingolfin grew weary and Morgoth bore down his shield upon him, three times was Fingolfin crushed to his knees and three times he got up again but the last time he stumbled and fell backwards and Morgoth set his foot upon Fingolfin’s neck and there the High-King of Elves died but with his last strength he stroke Ringil into the foot of Morgoth.” Our new and
improved design is hand forged by Generation
2! It is extremely battle ready with a high
carbon spring steel blade that is RAZOR SHARP! The hilt features a solid
brass pommel and crossguard with a hard wood handle wrapped in leather.
The full tang runs through the pommel and is peened (hammered flat) as
was the practice with historical swords. Sword construction does not get
much better than this! A wooden scabbard covered with leather and brass
metal throat and end caps is included.
