Is naegling a one-handed, hand-and-a-half, or two-handed sword? does it ever say? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.169.37.4 (Talk ▪ Contributions ▪ Logs) 13:21, Feb. 28, 2009. Please sign your comments with ~~~~.
- It's most likely one-handed, although you can't be sure. The second picture looks a mite small for Oromis. I always pictured Naegling as a slender yet long blade, rapier-ish.

Speculation[]
The sword may have been taken by Murtagh after the battle and taken back to Urû'baen to be put in Galbatorix's collection of swords from the Riders he'd killed. However, it was probably retrieved by the elves and kept for safekeeping.
Energy[]
If Oromis' boast is accurate, then I calculate that the gem in the pommel may contain as much as 100 Petajoules of energy. If this were the case, then the two elves (in combination with Oromis and Glaedr) would have been outputting around 9 Terajoules in each bi-weekly session. Averaging this out, we can conclude that three elves and a dragon would have to have a combined effective power output of about 30 Megawatts. We can compare this to the top-end effective human power output of about 400 Watts to find that these four would have been outputting the same effective power as 75,000 physically fit humans. Most of that probbably comes out of the massive dragon, but even so that would be a vast amount of power.
All in all, I get the feeling Oromis may have been exaggerating by a few orders of magnitude...
