| − | '''Orcrist''' (Sindarin: "Goblin-cleaver") was a sword forged by the [[Elf (Middle-earth)|Elves]] of Gondolin in the [[First Age (Middle-earth)|First Age]], and its blade glows blue if Orcs are near. It was missing for thousands of years until it was found alongside [[Glamdring]] and the dagger later known as [[Sting (Middle-earth)|Sting]] in a troll cave in ''The Hobbit'', by Thorin Oakenshield and company, who kept it for himself. After the Battle of Five Armies, Orcrist was placed on Thorin's tomb. | + | '''Orcrist''' (Sindarin: "Goblin-cleaver") was a sword forged by the [[Elf (Middle-earth)|Elves]] of Gondolin in the [[First Age (Middle-earth)|First Age]], and its blade glows blue if Orcs are near.
