I created this page essentially by pulling information from the Weapons of Middle-earth list. It needs formating and other "fix-ups" pretty badly. --Alataristarion 04:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Quite good - I suggest changing "Anglachel appears to be a sentient sword that speaks on occasion and has some will of its own" to "Anglachel has some will of it's own and speaks once in it's lifetime" (emphasis to be removed) - point being that it does not generally speak.87.102.47.218 12:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed this " Eöl's achievement in smithying a blade with a contained spirit rivals both the Silmarils of Fëanor and the Rings of Celebrimbor. In some ways it echoes Sauron's One Ring that contained some of his essence."

I like the sentiment but cant find an evidence that Eol put his spirit into the sword..It's possible is it not that this meteroic iron already had a spirit of it's own.87.102.47.218 12:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

      • I don't see how the person who wrote this article could have failed to note the most striking literary parallel to Anglachel, i.e. Michael Morcock's Stormbringer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.212.34.64 (talk) 01:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
