`Here is the gift of Celeborn and Galadriel to the leader of your Company,' she said to Aragorn, and she gave him a sheath that had been made to fit his sword. It was overlaid with a tracery of flowers and leaves wrought of silver and gold, and on it were set in elven runes formed of many gems the name And�ril and the lineage of the sword. `The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat,' she said.

(LoTR, II-8)
