Warden of The White Tower

Sword & Dagger Set

Boromir's Dagger was part of a set with his sword. Profiled to match his sword with brass and copper furnitue and a wire wrapped grip. This set was handled down through a noble ancestry, to Boromir, son of Denethor, Steward of Gondor. Boromir was a noble man, seasoned in the battle to hold Gondor's eastern borders against Sauron's minions. A decendant of Númenór he was a massive man, noted for his bravery, skill in battle, and love for his people. The last stand of Boromir in defence of his halfling fellows was valiant, fighting a hundred orcs single handedly, a rain of arrows undid this great man. He blew his great horn till the woods rang, but no answer came.
