You are too kind, Gwaihir.

On the same theme, what was used as the Royal crown of Arnor, and what was its history?

The Elendilmir was a plain fillet of silver with a single diamond set over the brow. This had also been the crown in Numenor.

Again, let's stay with regalia. The Kings of Arnor wore that girly diadem; what was their more &quot;manly&quot; attribute of authority? And who would have had it c.1977(t.a.)?

Would Arvedui Last-King have held the Sceptre? If I remember correctly, it was made of gold and silver. Jeweled, of course, but not overdone.

I was, indeed, looking for the Sceptre of Annuminas. But by 1977(t.a.), Arvedui was fish-bait at the bottom of the ice bay of Forochel. Who then held the Sceptre?

Eol cast a spear at Maeglin, but Aredhel leapt in front of him and it pierced her shoulder. The point was poisoned and she died that night.

Who was the owner of Hasufel before Eomer lent him to Aragorn, and what was his fate?

Hasufel had carried Garulf. I think that you're asking for Garulf's fate. He was slain in battle between Eomer's eored and the orcs of Isengard. If you meant Hasufel's fate, I don't know it after Aragorn remounted his own Roheryn.

Once atop the mountain in the blizzard, once at the foot, and once inside the west-gate. I believe that it would have then been lost with Gandalf.
