 ==Origin==
-The Axe of Tuor was, also known as Dramborleg (Gnomish "Thudder-Sharp", Qenya "Tarambolaika" or "Tarambor"), is a notable weapon that appears in the Middle-Earth setting of [[J.R.R. Tolkien. In ''[[Wikipedia:The Book of Lost Tales|The Book of Lost Tales]]'', a collection of his early stories, [[wikipedia:Tuor Eladar|Tuor Eladar]] fought with the axe during [[lotr:The Fall of Gondolin (chapter)|the Fall of Gondolin]], where he used it to slay three Balrogs: this was a surprise to both the Gnomes and their enemies, as until that point a Balrog had never known defeat let alone been slain. The Gnomes thus named the weapon for how Tuor "smote both a heavy dint as of a club and cleft as a sword". Tuor took the weapon with him when he escaped the downfall of the city, and his descendants later took it with them to Númenor as an heirloom; it was lost during the Downfall of Númenor.
