<p>69.209.49.154: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:María Lombide Ezpeleta - Eol's Swords.jpg|thumb|''Eol's Swords'' by [[María Lombide Ezpeleta]]]]<br /> '''Anguirel''' ('Living Star-iron'; [[ang]] = iron, [[el]] = star, [[guin]] = live) was one of a pair of iron-cutting swords forged by [[Eöl]], the [[Dark Elf]], from an iron meteorite. Anguirel's mate was [[Anglachel]], which [[Eöl]] gave to [[Thingol]] in payment for leave to dwell in [[Nan Elmoth]], and that sword went on to perform many mighty deeds - reforged as [[Gurthang]], it was the sword that [[Túrin]] used to kill [[Glaurung]].<br /> <br /> Anguirel's history is far more mysterious. The only specific detail we have is that [[Eöl]] kept it for himself, but it was stolen by his son [[Maeglin]]. This must have happened when [[Maeglin]] and his mother [[Aredhel]] fled [[Nan Elmoth]] for [[Gondolin]], so presumably the sword was taken to [[Turgon]]'s [[Hidden City]]. What became of it after that is unknown. It was probably buried in the ruins of Gondolin with its master.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{weapons}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Swords]]<br /> [[de:Anguirel]]<br /> [[fi:Anguirel]]</div>
