'''Gwemegil''' is a formidable [[hand weapon]], granting not only the standard [[unique]] weapon bonuses but also helping card flow and making [[Arwen]] harder to [[overwhelm]]. This card can be used to discard unneeded cards from your hand, allowing Arwen to survive large [[minion]]s such as the [[Balrog]] and can help her to win skirmishes. It is also more versatile than {{Card|Asfaloth}}, as it is not discarded at underground sites. Besides those benefits, it's the only {{C|Elven}} card in [[Fellowship Block]] to provide a [[damage]] bonus | '''Gwemegil''' is a formidable [[hand weapon]], granting not only the standard [[unique]] weapon bonuses but also helping card flow and making [[Arwen]] harder to [[overwhelm]].

Like Elven Sword, it can be used with [[Initiative]] effects such as {{Card|Glimpse of Fate}} from [[Mount Doom]] for a powerful effect. | ||

"Gwemegil" is a name invented by [[Decipher]]; [https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Hadhafang Tolkien Gateway suggests] it may mean "maiden-sword" in Sindarin, the common language of the elves. However, the prop itself has a Sindarin inscription that names it "Hadhafang" (possibly "throng-cleaver"), and later licensed products based on ''The Lord of the Rings'' and ''The Hobbit'' refer to it by that name. | "Gwemegil" is a name invented by [[Decipher]]; [https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Hadhafang Tolkien Gateway suggests] it may mean "maiden-sword" in Sindarin, the common language of the elves.

The prop itself appears in the ''Fellowship of the Ring'', ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'', and ''The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies'' films, but other than the inscription it's never referred to by name. {{Card|Hadafang}} is a separate card in this game, released in [[Black Rider|set 12]]. |
