Gurthang
Gurthang, Iron of Death, was the black sword of Turin Turambar, reforged for him in Nargothrond from an older blade, from which he was named Mormegil in the wars against Morgoth.
Gurthang, Iron of Death, was the black sword of Turin Turambar. It began as another blade with another name, forged by Eol the Dark Elf, and came to Turin through the friendship of Elves; the smiths of Nargothrond reforged it for him, and he named it anew.

Dark and heavy was the blade's history, and stranger still the whispers that it was not wholly without a will of its own.
