Hi

I no longer wield Gurthang and wear the Dragon-Helm. I wield Moranga, the Dark-Iron. It was forged for my father by my grandmothers kindred in Gondolin, who lived in Nargothrond. My grandfather moved to Nargothrond for love of my grandmother. He received it as a gift from Felagund Himself, for being so mighty in battle against a large orc-attack on one of the outposts of Nargothrond. He gave it to my father, who wielded it until not long before his death in the fall of Menegroth. Moranga was given to me when I turned forty, still a child in my father's eyes. He said I would wield it more mightily than he when I came of age. I used it during the Kinslaying at Menegroth years later. I didn't use the blade again until the war of the Last Alliance, when I took 50 of my kindred from Eryn Vorn who lived in my refuge there. We came back victorious, with only eight of our elves dead. I then took my folk to Lindon after my mother sailed west to Aman. I used Moranga a few times alongside the rangers, but otherwise laid low. I took two companions with me to make war on Angmar. We slew many orcs over the three years we were there, coming home only when a large orc-band of upwards of 70 ambushed us, wounding one of my companions with a poisoned arrow. He died the night we arrived back at Minas Giliath. as for moy armour, it is a Gunmetal grey, with a large ridge plume on the helmet. They were made in Eregion by my Noldorin Kindred. Celebrimbor set enchantments of protection on my armour, and so far no blade or dart has been able to make any rent in my fine armour. For a time I dwelt in Imladris, where I got a new hilt made for Moranga. It is made with the finest iron, with a blue gem laid in the pommel on a fillet of Mithril. The sword was given enchantments by Elrond Peredhel and Galadriel. The sword shal never go blunt or break as long as my hand wields it. Do not underestimate me. Many have done that. And regretted it.
