Created by Luingurth the Blademaster in the early Second Age, the clear blue laen edge of the sword bearing its forger's name was one of the greatest weapons ever made and later returned in many forms throughout Middle-earth. After he turned to evil, Luingurth forged the Irgaak swords, which were able to summon the "Harvest of Fools".
They were not of the same caliber as Luingurth, however, and were eventually defeated, being no match for the Blue Laen blade. At various times the sword would refuse to fight any foes, claiming its purpose was to combar Arxdukanga alone, and at other times it would defend against the Irgaak swords. Plainly, it had a personality of its own. Arxdukanga, the high priest of a Dark Cult in the Orocarni, was the key to the power of the Unholy Stars (Morgoth's Blood Pools).
After Ringlin traveled to Angsars-morthrog to face the Priests of Darkness and slay his own father, the world-weary Peredhil died and the blade passed from sight for a time. The blade returns to the chronicles when, like all other heirs of Luindor (including his older brother), Randae Linvaire undertook the traditional journey to find the Book of Icelore.
The blade, in Randae's hands, possessed different powers than the weapon as possessed by Ringlin. Despite this, most scholars agree that it is, in fact, the same blade. It came into Randae's hands as a sheath full of blue dust, and when reunited with its hilts in a Holy Strump, it recreated itself, altering its function to better suit its new owner
