Created by Ugnin'uru the Blademaster in the early Second Age, the clear blue laen edge of the sword bearing its forger's name was one of the greatest weapons ever made and later returned in manyforms throughout Middle-earth. After he turned to evil, Ugnin'uru forged the Irgaak swords, which were able to summon the "Harvest of Fools". They were not of the same calibre as Ugnin'uru, however, and were eventually defeated, being no match for the Blue Laen blade. At various times, the sword would refuse to fight any foes, claiming its purpose was to combat Arxdukanga alone, and at other times it would defend against the Irgaak swords. Plainly, it had a personality of it's own.
Arxdukanga, the high priest of a Dark Cult in the Orocarni, was the key to the power of the Unholy Sars (Morgoth's Blood Pools). After Ingi'inda Grey-cloaked traveled to Angsars-morthrog to face the Priests of Darkness and slay his own father, the world weary Half-Elf died young and the blade passed from sight for a time. The blade returned to the chronicles when, like all other heir's of Luindor (including his older brother), Andai Inda'eir undertook the traditional journey to find the Book of Icelore. The blade in Andai's hands possessed differing powers than the weapon possessed by Ingi'inda. Despite this, most scholars agree that it was in fact the same blade. It came into Andai's hands as a sheath full of blue dust, and when reunited with its hilts in a Holy Stump, it recreated itself, altering it's function to better suit its new owner.
