'I ask then for a sword of worth,' said Beleg; 'for the Orcs come now too thick and close for a bow only, and such blade as I have is no match for their armour.' 'Choose from all that I have,' said Thingol, 'save only Aranrúth, my own.'~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 21 (Elu Thingol - Elwe Singollo by Feliche, deviantART)
