Aiglos or Aeglos, the spear of Gil-galad, was with Elendil’s sword Narsil said to be instrumental to the defeat of Sauron at the siege of Barad-dûr. The fate of Narsil was documented as it was passed down among Elendil’s heirs, but what became of Aiglos? Gil-galad had no heir to pass his belongings on to, but we know that he was accompanied by his comrades Elrond and Cîrdan, to whom he entrusted rings of power. So did one of them retrieve Aiglos after the battle? Was the spear destroyed in the last combat? Buried with its wielder? It seems a rather potent artifact for history to have lost track of.
