We can speculate on Narsil/Anduril:

ANDURIL (Flame of the West)
Very bright was that sword when it was made whole again; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, and its edge was hard and keen.
Type: Long Sword
Craftmanship: Dwarven
Qualities: 1. Flame of Hope; 2. Gleam of Terror; 3. Runes of Victory

My take on Narsil/Anduril was Flame of Hope, Superior Keen, Superior Fell
Granted, Flame of Hope and Gleam of Terror are two of the most fascinating qualities.

I'm with Thror. Feels like it should be a sword of leadership more than just have badass stats.

Except for the Dwarven craftsmanship part.

In other news, when are we going to see some fan content with an expanded list of enchanted qualities?

I would agree, yet Elendil used it in personal combat against Sauron himself, and to dire effects. It's a sword of great majesty, but it should be terribly lethal too.

Long Sword 6?

Also, I would assume that when it was reforged it had different qualities.

I started a post about a week ago with a list of old weapons and armor, admittedly I haven't filled much of them out, but I did do Aeglos . . .

1. Aeglos, "snow point."
Type: Great spear
Craftmanship: Elven
Banes: Orcs
Qualities:
1. Cleaving
2. Crushing
3. Raging

Notes: The spear of Gil-Galad that was used against the forces of Sauron in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in the Second Age, it was said that "none could stand before it," so I went with qualities that focus more on mass damage versus taking down a particular foe. No one knows for certain what became of it after Sauron slew Gil-Galad on the plains of Gorgoroth, though some believe Elrond brought it back to the Last Homely House . . .

[Glorelendil]

I could see "none could stand before it" also meaning Awe.

Here's the other two I've done so far . . . will definitely try to finish the list, as time allows . . . actually, the list first.

1. Aeglos. Spear of Gil-Galad.
2. Angrist. Beren's knife.
3. Anguirel. Sword of Dior, stolen by his son Maeglin.
4. Aranruth. Sword of Thingol, later became the sword of the Numenorean kings.
5. Belthronding. Beleg's longbow.
6. Black arrow. Used by Bard to slay Smaug.
7. Dagmor. Sword of Beren.
8. Dragon-helm of Dor-lomin. Aka the Helm of Hador. Turin's helmet.
9. Dramborleg. Tuor's axe.
10. Durin's Axe.
11. Dwarven helms with masks (used in the War of Wrath).
12. Great Horn of Gondor.
13. Grond. Mace wielded by Morgoth.
14. Gurthang (fka Anglachel). Turin's sword.
15. Red Arrow. Gondor used to summon aid from Rohan.
16. Ringil. Fingolfin's sword. (Spend hope to increase parry?)

14. Gurthang. "Iron of Death."
Type: Longsword
Craftmanship: Elven
Banes: all living things
Qualities:
1. Superior grievous
2. Superior keen
3. Foe slaying
Notes: the sword of both Beleg and Turin, forged from Anglachel, the black blade of the Dark Elf Eol. It is said that the iron of its blade fell to Middle-earth from an asteroid, giving it unparalleled sharpness. A sentient blade that constantly thirsts for blood, its qualities show its propensity for killing single enemies fast - as evidenced by Turin's slaying Glaurung in one blow. Alas, it is also cursed, as its other name "Black Blade" attests - its wielder will suffer from the "Darken" curse.

13. Grond. "The Hammer of the Underworld."
Type: Mace (use Mattock)
Craftmanship: Morgoth
Banes: elves, dwarves, men
Qualities:
1. Raging
2. Superior Grievous (as Elven)
3. Runes of Victory
Notes: Grond was the mace wielded by Morgoth in his single combat against Fingolfin, when he cratered the earth every time he missed. As Morgoth desired to mar Arda above all else, Grond shares this desire: every time its wielder misses its target with an attack, Grond nonetheless damages the ground around its opponent. Mechanically, the opponent loses any bonus success dice on each miss (one die per miss). If the opponent has no success dice, then instead they become increasingly hindered (-2 to the defender's TN, cumulative with each miss).

[ThrorII]

I'm with Thror. Feels like it should be a sword of leadership more than just have badass stats.

Except for the Dwarven craftsmanship part.

Narsil was forged by Telchar, the Dwarven weaponsmith of Nogrod, in the 1st Age. Telchar was one of the best weapon-smiths of Middle-earth.

Doh! I rolled Eye on my Lore test. Forgot that.

To tell the truth I didn't really miss Glamdring's actual stats in the book for the main reason it is a sister weapon to Orcrist. Once Orcrist was mentioned I had a pretty good idea what Glamdring's capabilities were. So, no I didn't really miss Glamdring in the Rivendell book.
