Sting Sword
Did JR Tolkien ever address the origins of Sting?
Sting is the short sword used by Bilbo Bagens in his quest to defet Smaulg and later by Frodo Bagens in his quest to destoy the One Ring.
From “The Hobbit”:
Elrond knew All About runes of every kind. That day he looked at the swords they had brought from the trolls’ lair, and he said: “These are not troll-make. They are old swords, very old swords of the High Elves of the West, my kin. They were made in Gondolin for the Goblin-wars. They must have come from a dragon’s hoard or goblin plunder, for dragons and goblins destroyed that city many ages ago. This, Thorin, the runes name Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver in the ancient tongue of Gondolin; it was a famous blade. This, Gandalf, was Glamdring, Foehammer that the king of Gondolin once wore. Keep them well!”
For more on Gondolin, read “The Silmarillion” it is the story of the first and second ages of Middle Earth.
