Good game, HI.

Just a reminder, because it's an important aspect of this game:

Thank you, SpM

May the answer be Roheryn - Aragorn's horse?

Brought from the outlaw - i.e. Roheryn was already Aragorn's horse at a time he was Strider, i.e. outlaw.
Bound to the friend of he who pours - m-m-m, hard one, that, Halbarad brought the horse, right? He probably was visiting Bree just like his chief, so 'he who pours' would be Barliman, pouring beer into their mugs or something.
Bringer of the messanger - Roheryn brought Halbarad, who was a messanger?
Bringer fo the Bringer etc... Roheryn brought Aragorn, who brought Merry's (small one) safety - when he healed him

Far-fetched, I surmise, but worth a try nevertheless

Sorry, but that's wrong. Fingolfin II's second and last guess were pretty close, though...

mm-m-m, hard one, that, Perky, you know it.

May it be a Ring (Ruling Ring, Ring of Power)

Brought from the outlaw - brought from Gollum, who, being yet a Smeagol, was outlawed by his family.
Bound to the friend of he who pours - he who pours would be Morgoth here - that is, who pours (or used to) his power into the very matter of the world. The Ring is bound to 'his friend' - Sauron
Bringer of the messanger - by implication, the Ring brought Sauron's messanger to Dain Ironfoot.
Bringer of the Bringer etc... The ring brought its bringer (Frodo) adn its another bringer (Gollum) to Mount Doom, where Gollum's actions brough small one's (Frodo again) safety - not physically, but on spiritual level - releasing him from the Ring itself

?

I'm gonna like saying this

Not...Even...Close!

Pity...

Frightened by the hardness of your question, I've set rules for hinting (see the initial post up there). All I have to do is to wait another week and get the second letter to lighten my task, unless someone gets it before

I'll keep trying though...

I had clues all worked out for 'Rings of Power', too, HI.

They seemed so logical . . . now I'm glad you beat me to it and took the bullet for this guess . . .
