The Avari: Some eventually moved westward and mixed in with the Silvan & Sindarin elves, and would be indistinguishable. The others remained in the East, a furtive and secretive people, and an object of fear and suspicion amongst the Men of the East. I'm sure they weren't all seduced by Ungoliant, but surely you could courupt/enslave/whatever enough for your purposes.Originally posted by AslanC
Do we know the final fate of these swords and what became of the Avari? I like the idea that the Avari were seduced by Ungoliant, and then earning their place in the world when they help Shelob overthrough Ungoliant and become Morlob. You know, promise of power and rules of Middle-Earth and all that
Eol's swords: Anglachel (Turin's sword) was broken when he fell upon it, and its malevolence extinguished; in otherwords, it's dead too. The remains were burried with Turin. Anguriel (Maeglin's sword) was on him when Tuor tossed him over a cliff to his death durring the escape from Gondolin (if I remember right). It's probably in some deep chasm of the Echoing Mountains. Of course, all of Beleriand has been sunk under the waves, so gaining access to Anguriel would require some serious deep sea diving. Of course, the hill on which Turin was burried was the only thing that wasn't drowned (it's still out there to the west of Lindon), but no good could come of robbing HIS grave...
And you're welcome, Aslan.
