Words of ElrondThe Fellowship of the Ring II 2_The Council of Elrond_ The fearsome spear of Ereinion Gil-galad, last of the High Kings of the Noldor. Its name in Elvish was Aeglos, which is variously translated as 'Snow-point', 'Snowthorn' or 'Icicle'. Gil-galad is known to have carried his spear to the Battle of Dagorlad outside the Morannon in the closing years of the Second Age. Though it is not otherwise recorded, it seems more than reasonable to assume that it was also with him seven years later, when he fell in combat with the Dark Lord Sauron himself. Notes 1 Gil-galad had apparently borne his Spear for some time before the War of the Last Alliance, and indeed it is spoken of in the accounts of that war as if it were already a famous weapon. However, the Battle of Dagorlad of II 3434 is the only recorded date on which we can say that the Spear was definitely wielded. See also...
