(Who knows though with the way PJ feels free to change everything around)Unfortunately I agree that Arwyn will bring the sword, but this then poses other problems. From the PJ  timeline Arwyn is leaving Rivendell at the same time as the battle of Helm's Deep. In order for the Grey Company of Rangers and Elronds son's to arrive in time to join up with Aragorn for his journey through the paths of the Dead they would have had to leave at least 1-2 weeks prior to Helm's Deep. Unless he gets it before he leaves on the Paths of the Dead he has no chance to recieve it until the end of the battle of the Pelanor Fields. It is possible that Aragorn will not need the sword until the company of Captains arrives at the Black Gate but then its significance is relegated to much less. Additionally if Arwyn somehow shows up in time (For some reason the she travels uncommoly fast or the scene of her leaving is earlier than it appears) to give Aragorn the sword before the Paths of the Dead what is she going to do then? Ride with Aragorn on the Paths (An awfull change for PJ to do) or hang out with the Rhorirrm until they meet again (A silly concept that leaves the less desirable first option more likely). I am scarred because any of these options detracts from the Tolkiens story significantly. So far even the departures that have been made already would pale in comparison to Arwyn showing up with the sword and what to do with her then.</blockquote>
