   I will, for now, refrain from commenting except to note that you have   
   not included objects that appear in _The Silmarillion_ (or _The Road   
   Goes Ever On_ or _The Adventures of Tom Bombadil or CoH or UT or the   
   HoMe series). Any comment I could make would therefore limit the field   
   rather much. I have, however, interpreted the original intention of the   
   game to preclude anything that doesn't exist in that sub-creation that   
   features Arda with its Middle-earth (the 'universe' constituted of Eä   
   and the Timeless Halls).   
      
   I will, however, freely offer the help that the item, whatever it is,   
   is not one that appear exclusively in the HoMe series . . .  ;-)
