This is the reforged form of Anglachel, which Turin used to perform great deeds, such as slaying the Drake Glaurung. Originally Beleg's blade, Turin received it from Gwindor, who kept it when he buried Beleg, the Elf who was accidentally slain by Turin. Since it was powerful but also heavy and dull, Turin chose to have it reforged. Sadly, reforging it did not purge the blade of its maker's malice. Turin used it for rash, senseless murders and finally turned the blade on himself. Gurthang broke as it slew him, and the shards were buried with him.
The edges of teh blade shone with pale fire, but the blade itself remained as black as it had been when named Anglachel. Gurthang and Turin were such a potent pairing of warrior and weapon that the Elves of Nargothrond called them Adan Mormegil. And while Turin hid his name from both Elves and Morgoth, he became known, on account of Gurthang, as the Black Sword of Nargothrond to the Orcs and other minions of Morgoth.
