Arwen's sword is called Hadhafang which means
Throng-cleaver. It once belonged to the Elven princess Idril, who wed a
mortal man and bore Earendil, the father of Elrond who in turn was
father to Arwen. Before Arwen's birth Elrond wielded Hadhafang at the
end of the second age of "Middle-Earth," during the Last Alliance of
Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron. Later his daughter
Arwen used Hadhafang when she aided Frodo in his escape from the
Ringwraiths. Inscribed on the blade are runes in the Elven language of
Sindarin that say "aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i
thang an i arwen." This translates to "this blade is called Hadhafang, a
noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady."
