Legolas Greenleaf, a Sindarin Elf of the Woodland Realm, was sent to Rivendell as a messenger and took part in the Council of Elrond, where he was chosen to represent the Elves in the Fellowship of the Ring. Legolas, who possesses keen senses, is an expert archer and master with Elven fighting knives, which he carried on his back in scabbards on either side of his quiver. He proved to be a valuable asset to the Fellowship as they journeyed into territories of evil. In keeping with the natural harmony of the Elves, Legolas’ Fighting Knives have a flowing organic design, are adorned with Elven vine motifs, and the blades feature a very detailed filigree etch.
The original inscription included the last line Idril i hel en aran Gond dolen, which translates to Idril, daughter of the king of the Hidden Rock (Gondolin). It was dropped from the finished prop due to a lack of space.
There is an intentional pun in the inscription the Sindarin translation of noble lady is arwen, so in effect, the blade claims to be for Arwen, even though it was made for her grandmother.
Almost three thousand years the elven maiden spent in her father’s home, occasionally she visited her “always young” grandmother, Galadriel, until she met Aragorn. The king-to-be of Gondor fell in love with Arwen. For Aragorn she became that fair lady, for the sake of whom every true knight performed his deeds. In her thoughts Arwen was constantly with her beloved.
