Name: Ringil

Type of weapon: Ancient Elven sword

Abilities: A freezing touch, lightweight in the hands of the bearer while being as heavy as a mountain to those facing it, the blade also cannot be broken, along with a myth that whoever holds the blade is invincible which is sprung from the belief that Faenor is so(due to his survival of so much strife).

History: Originally the property of Fingolfin, Ringil passed to Faenor after the High King of the Ñoldor died on the field of battle, caught by the Sinda as it fell from Thorondor's claws. Faenor has used the blade ever since, a bane to the servants of the Enemy and a comforting presence to the Free Peoples. It has undergone some modifications over the course of the centuries, most notably the smiths of Gondolin forging the enchantments that make the blade glow with the freezing cold light it is renowned for.

Quirks: Ringil has a twin blade, Aeglos, that Faenor also uses in battle. However, Ringil is the more deadly of the two. Aeglos has the unique ability to transform into an Elvish spear after the style of Gil-galad's lance, though it is not that worthy weapon.

Name: Rhîwrûth

Type of weapon: Elven Longbow

Abilities: Infallible accuracy, one shot, one kill, no matter the target, lest they be one of the Ainur. Rhîwrûth is also almost completely indestructible, being made of the living wood of Telperion.

History: Made in Valinor from a living branch of Telperion before the poisoning of the Two Trees, Rhîwrûth was originally made for Tilion, the Maia. However, at the time that the Tree of Silver was killed Tilion gave the bow to Turgon, who later gave it to Faenor at the Nírnaeth Arnoediad. The bow has been in the Sinda's possession ever since, serving him from that point on.

Quirks: Rhîwrûth is the only bow left to the Elves of Middle-earth that saw the Light of the Two Trees. It also will occasionally glow a very soft silver at night, as it is the last living part of the Trees.
