Dramborleg

The great Axe of Tuor

Tuor the father of Eärendil was said to favour a great axe over a sword, and he called his axe Dramborleg, which means 'Thudder-Sharp' in the language of the Gondolindrim. Tuor must have fought with it in the Fall of Gondolin, but it escaped the downfall of that city, and his descendants took it to Númenor as an heirloom. It survived through most of the Second Age, but was destroyed in the Downfall of Númenor near that Age's end.
