Aragorn, my guess at yours is an arrow, or maybe a bow and arrows or something along those lines.

Armies march at my command,
Yet I speak in no tongue of Man,
I shiver, though not from fear,
Though I carry it to those who hear,
Grond I command, and orcish host,
Hear my voice sounding Deep, and know you are lost.
You are quite right to think the capitalization of Deep a clue, though it refers not to Helm's Deep. In fact, it is capitalized merely to draw attention, and is not where I drew that part from in the books. It is a double-entandre (sp?). While in LotR, it is always the forebearer of evil, (except for one place, and then it is imitated and not actual) although in RL, it is merely part of life.

That's all the hint you get for now. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Let me know if you need more.
