Rhindon

"It is my sword, Rhindon, with it I killed the wolf."

- Peter Pevensie

Rhindon was the name of the sword of High King Peter Pevensie of the Kingdom of Narnia. It was given to him just before the end of the Long Winter by Father Christmas, along with a Shield.

Rhindon's hilt was made of gold, and it was the perfect weight and size for Peter. It was with this sword that Peter slew the wolf Maugrim.

He later used Rhindon at the Battle of Beruna, and dueled the White Witch Jadis with it.

It is likely that he used this sword during his later battle to drive away the giants from the Northern boundaries of Narnia, and that it was around that time that he named the sword Rhindon.

When King Peter vanished from Narnia, his sword was placed in the Treasure Room of Cair Paravel, and when Peter returned to Narnia 1,303 years later, he found the sword, and again used it during the Narnian Revolution, and during his duel with King Miraz.

After the Narnian Revolution, when Peter returned home to his world, he most likely gave his sword to Caspian X, to signify that he was Narnia's next true king, and to ensure the sword would be well protected. What became of it beyond that is unknown, but it is most likely the sword was either destroyed, along with the rest of Narnia, centuries later at the end of days, or went into Aslan's Country with Peter.

When Narnia was destroyed, King Tirian met the Pevensies, Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole, Polly Plummer and Diggory Kirke. Upon entering Aslan's Country, all the men were holding swords, including Peter, though whether the sword he held was Rhindon or not is unknown.

Film Adaption
In the films, the sword has a golden lion's head as a pommel, and has a gold inscription engraved on both sides of the blade, which reads: -

''"When Aslan bares his teeth, winter meets it's death." ''

''"When He Shakes His Mane, We Shall Have Spring Again." ''

(These lines are canonical. They appear in a prophecy quoted by Mr. Beaver in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.)

In Prince Caspian, when the Pevensies uncover the treasure chamber at Cair Paravel, shortly after returning to Narnia, Peter is the last to open his treasure chest, in which he recovers Rhindon. At the conclusion of the film, he passes the sword to Caspian as an acknowledgement of Caspian's rightful place as the Narnian King.

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the sword is revealed to have magical properties, and Caspian gives it to Edmund to use towards the end of the film. Rhindon, like the Seven Swords, glows blue.

Trivia

 * The fact that Rhindon glows blue in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (film) may be a tribute to the friendship of C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings, in which the swords of the heroes Frodo and Gandalf, named Glamdring and Sting, glow blue in the presence of Orcs and other evil creatures.
