Who Originally Wielded the Sword Glamdring Before Gandalf? – LOTR Lore

Realms History TV dives deep into one of Tolkien’s greatest hidden connections—the legendary journey of Glamdring, the ancient sword forged in Gondolin and later wielded by Gandalf himself.
In this episode, we uncover how a 6,500-year-old weapon of the First Age reappeared in a troll cave during The Hobbit, and why this moment carries enormous historical and mythic weight in Middle-earth’s lore.

From Turgon, King of Gondolin, to Elrond, Glorfindel, and finally Gandalf—Glamdring’s path through time reveals a breathtaking tapestry of battles, betrayals, forgotten kingdoms, and the long war against Morgoth and Sauron.
We explore the fall of Gondolin, the terror of the Balrogs, the forging of legendary blades, and how this ancient sword fulfilled its destiny when Gandalf faced the Balrog in Moria.
