9. @Androthelm Well, relationship is a very wide concept of course: there's family and friends but also boss - worker or even friend - foe. In the end we all relate to others in some way. But I think I can say yes here. Yes, this gift was given due to the relationship between the giver and receiver.
10. No, this gift was not given in the Third Age.

Would this be Ring of Barahir, the gift and token of Finrod Felagund, that was handed down for generations?
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

No, I am sorry, this is not the ring of Barahir, as that one was still there in the Third Age.

Is this gift the dove's-egg-sized pearl Nimphelos, given by Círdan to Thingol and in turn by Thingol to "the chieftain of the Dwarves of Belegost [who] prized it above a mountain of wealth"?
Re: Who, What or Where Am I? (A Middle-Earth Game)

by Eamila Bolger
YES! You found it, @Eldy Dunami , congratulations!
It was given more than once, from race to race.
One there was as great as a dove's egg, and its sheen was as starlight on the foam of the sea; Nimphelos it was named...
It must have been a happy time, in which Elves and Dwarves together, each with their own skill, there wrought out the visions of Melian, images of the wonder and beauty of Valinor beyond the sea.
You are next, Eldy Dunami!

Aaah drats everything was so quiet I thought I had time to ask that question, and if the answer was yes I was going to guess Nimphelos too.
Well done,
Eldy!

6. No, this object is not a piece of armoury.
(I'm not sure if "piece of armoury" in this context means armorial designs, armor that you can wear, or a weapon kept in an armory, but the object in question is not any of those things.)

Have you become a symbol (in contradiction to being made as a symbol)?
