"Galadriel gave the Fellowship many gifts without which their mission would likely have failed."

I kinda picked up on the elves giving the fellowship giving the Fellowship so many things as almost out of character for the elves.

Also, considering your description of heirlooms, they wouldn't be held close. However, I think the term heirlooms is being used more as "really old objects," and also, the main question is whether an elf recovers their belongings when the come back after death.

One last thing, just as a question I've had for a while relating to the returning of dead elves. Does this keep the number of elves relatively constant, with all elves being born just returning elves, or does it make the # of elves always rising, where all of the dead elves return and then new elves are being born.
