I need some Elvish heirlooms which are to be retrieved from a long abandoned watchtower in Mirkwood.
Now, these need to be not so powerful or precious that Thranduil would spend Elf lives in gaining their return, but enough that the Captain of said watchtower brought shame upon and lessened the influence of his family when the heirlooms were left behind.
They also need to be powerful or precious enough that a Chieftain of Men might consider sundering an alliance with the Elf King in order to retain possession of them.
Any thoughts? All offers considered and greatly appreciated.
