| The '''Shards of Narsil''' were the pieces of the famous weapon of [[Narsil]] which had been broken by [[Elendil]]'s fall at the end of the [[Second Age]] in the [[War of the Last Alliance]]. It was then that [[Isildur]] slew [[Sauron]] with the hilt of the Shards. Isildur later transported the Shards home with him but he was killed along the way. It was [[Ohtar]], the squire of Isildur who took the Shards and brought them to [[Rivendell]]. The pieces were kept as heirlooms until the time came in [[Third Age 3019]] for the shards to be reforged as [[Andúril]].

Unlike in the book, Aragorn does not bear them with him, but are kept on a display in [[Rivendell]].<br>Boromir finds out there that the shards are "still sharp", a line which can be a reference to the character [[Wikipedia:Richard Sharpe (fictional character)|Richard Sharpe]] portrayed by [[Sean Bean]] on TV.<br>Aragorn is seen reverently placing the hilt of Narsil back into the display after Boromir dropped it on the floor.
