Aranrúth was the sword of the Elven King Thingol of Doriath in the First Age.[1] Thingol apparently prized his weapon: when Beleg asked Thingol for a sword of worth for his quest to seek Túrin, the King said he could have his choice of any except his own.[2]

During the Second Age, Aranrúth was possessed by the Kings of Númenor, which was descended to Elros from Elwing his mother. It did not survive the Downfall of Númenor.[3]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Aranrúth is Sindarin for "King's Ire",[4] from aran ("king") + and rûth ("anger").[5]
