Eladrin of royal Sindarin clans, receive an Andsigil, or Sindarin Long Knife, at their coming of age on their 20th birthday. If they have completed martial training to their teacher's satisfaction, they will receive a pair of Andsigilin. They may receive a second Andsigil at a later date if it is earned. These Andsigilin are crafted by Clan Hisal of the Adamant Weaver House in Elshavel, and are always mastercrafted. All Andsigilin crafted for Eladrin are silvered blades with stylistic yellow gold and blue platinum inlaid into the blade, with white ash handles with the clan achievement inlaid into the handle. The scabbard for an Eladrin Andsigil is usually died leather in the colors of the achievement of the appropriate royal clan, with the clan crest sewn into the scabbard.
Many Sindarin and Taurnarin (not of royal families) also craft Andsigil, usually to replace broken or lost blades, or to celebrate the coming of age of young adults in their clan. The quality of these blades varies from clan to clan, crafter to crafter. Sindarin commonly refer to these as Andicilin. An Andicil is almost never as elaborate as an Andsigil. Only the most expensive Andicil have inlay in the blade or the handle, but engraved vines are common. Andacil rarely have white ash for the handle, with darker woods being common. Andacil scabbards tend to be plain cured leather, although leaf and flower embossing is not uncommon.
