Ok. Directly after the Last Alliance (which KT did get involved with), Umbar stumbled across KT. They tried to be agressive, and we did not react well. As it was our home turph, we were being more deffensive, yet we had the uperhand. In one battle, Galad himself came out, and drew a sword to dual one of Umbar's worst kings-Azruben II. I might also add that Galad's sword looked like Thranduil's, just a bit smaller, the the metal on the edge ridge is lighter (straightened out Katana, pretty much), and the designs on darker back edge are Ithildin. Anyway.....

Galad engaged Azruben, and was pretty much just toying with him. He could end the fight at any moment, but he kept it going, that way the king would think that he had the uper hand, get cocky, and Galad's victory would be insured. So, at one point, Azruben tried a blade lock. Galad, however, was done. He then revealed that the sword he was dualing with was actually of a butterfly profile. Galad swished the swords appart (his), and, in the process, trapped Aranruth. He then twirled them, and then right away they were back to one sword. In the process, however, Aranruth went flying. Galad caught it, and struck down the invading Umbaran king. Yup, the king got his own sword through his heart. Seeing that their own king was killed with his own sword, the Umbarans fled, taking the body of the king with. Galad kept the sword, and then made a new sheath for it. It was a cow leather base, but, on the outside it appeared dark blue Limwaith feather cloth. The frame of the sheath was trimed in ithildin, to match the sword. He then placed mysterious enchantements on it to be revealed later. So, Galad sent a note to the new Umbaran king (Azruben's son) saying: "If you come here, I am ready to negotiate terms of a truce." So, the Umbarans came. Galad said to them: "I will give this sword back, and in return, you don't attack Ka'ax Toliath again." They "agreed". So, they took the sword back, but, they were disgusted with the new sheath. It was stunningly beautiful, but, they were racist Umbarans who were mean against the Limwaith. They were even more disgusted to find out that the parrot people of KT made the sheath (they use the feathers of various lesser birds. They wait for them to fall off, and collect them all. It is like their version of sheering a sheep). However, when they tried to put it in the old sheeth, the sword mysteriously would not fit. When they tried destroying the feather sheath and making a new Umbaran style sheath, they couldn't destroy it. They also noticed that the blade of Aranruth became stronger after being in that sheath. So, to this day, Umbarans have had to come to be ok with having one of their greatest heirlooms stoored in an object made by people who they regard in quite rude terms.

Cool, right?! Sorry about any bad grammer, I am still a bit sleepy.
