Glamdring is an artifact weapon that appears in EvilHack. It is chaotic, and its base item is an elven long sword made of mithril.
Generation
Glamdring can only be created by combining Orcrist and Sting at a forge; it cannot be wished for, and will revert to its base item if left in a bones file.
Description
Glamdring has +1d8 to-hit and deals double damage versus orcs with a chance to instantly kill them. While wielded, Glamdring confers shock resistance and MC1, warns the wielder of orcs and will cause all orcs on the level to become hostile.
A Wizard that forges Glamdring unrestricts the long sword skill and can advance it to Skilled level.
Encyclopedia entry
The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of
the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his
other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted
again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two
vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and
cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm.
'You cannot pass,' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead
silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of
the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not
avail you, flame of Udun. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot
pass.'
