:: The Sage - Medieval
Fantasy Sword ::
Elves are mythical and magical
creatures in many forms of fantasy literature, and nowhere do they receive
more attention than in J.R.R. Tolkien's writings. Tolkien's Elves are
powerful beings, whose grace, beauty and skill are all too often
overshadowed by their hubris. The Elves fight against the Dark Lord for
millenia, sometimes winning decisive battles, other times bring brought to
the brink of extinction. Only their strength that burns in their hearts
seems to help them carry the day; their strength and the weapons of power
that they create.
The Elves made many mighty swords to slay the
forces of evil. The 'Sage' sword is similar to the one that Gandalf
the White carries in the Lord of the Rings
films, though it is only loosely based on that design. The sword that
Gandalf carries was forged long ago in the Elf city of Gondolin, realm of
King Turgon and mightiest stronghold of the Elves before it was betrayed to
the Dark Lord by Maeglin, son of Eöl. It was passed down through the
centuries
until it was discovered by Gandalf during the book 'The Hobbit.' This Sage
has a long, leaf shaped blade, beautiful swept quillions, and an attractive
pommel capping off a white leather handle.
