Recap:

1. I could have a sort of relation to the Eldar, but sadly to say I am not.
2. Aye I could be capitalised if you wish me to be.
3. No I am not metal.
4. Yes, it could be used a reliable weapon.
5. No, I am not utilised by the enemy, but I could be if they knew about me and then corrupt me.
6. Yes, that could happen, that some people might consider going to war in order to obtain me, to safeguard or destroy; depending how important they find me.
7. Yes, some Mannish people do certainly safekeep me.
8. Harm I don't know, but the Witchking would not like me at all.
9. In a sense yes, people use me in communication.
10. Alas I am not round at all or made of crystal.
11. No, I am not sharp.
12. And no, I am not the Red Arrow (was a nice guess though, with the symbolism behind the weapon you're heading bit in the direction!).
13. No, I did not exist in the First Age.
14. No, I am not Aragorn's standard blowing in the wind (nice guess though! I love the try for symbolism :thumbs: .)
15. I am entirely created for Men, but have a tiny connection the Elves.
16. I have something symbolic over me, but no, I haven't really a status, unless you're in awe of me.

28. No, I am not the letter of Gil-Galad, but I have the times in common Tar-Meneldur and Tar-Eldarion lived.
29. No and yes....lol. Both kings might have known about me or perhaps not, but considering my nature there is a likely possibility they knew me. (Stumped yes I believe. It is actually not that hard considering your choice, which was a clever one.)
30. No, I am certainly not the Guild of Venturers, but they could have known me.
31. Yes, I am certainly a script on paper for those who can read, but it is not my only form of existence.

34. Sorry, I am not edible.
35. Sorry, I am not the legend "the Mariner's Wife". (But you're close now).
36. An abstract object/thing? eh... yes I guess so (not certain), considering my nature I don't think Men change me, because my nature changes then with it.
36a. Ah thanks! Yeah the object is definitely abstract then, of a creative nature.

As I feel this is taking quite long I am going to give a hint, that might set you guessers on the right track. I want to give the floor to someone else now. *g* So we can start afresh. Would that be a good idea?

Hint: There are three legends about Numenor named in the second part of the Unfinished Tales.
