Hint: When asked whether it is an object, I replied "Yes(ish)". It is not an object in the sense traditionallly regarded in this game.

Now, does that help or simply serve further to confuse?

Shield <- The clue was there all the time

What an inspired answer, Firefoot! How did you get it?

You are, of course, correct and I yield the thread to you.

That was a good one, Sauce! Firefoot, well done! Funny how I was going for all the wrong hints...

So, Is it living?

"Yes(ish)" for the object tipped me off that it might be something more "indefinite", for lack of a better word.

NK, a thangail is a "shield fence", which is a battle formation used by Isildur at the Gladden Fields.

Is it a bridge? Nope
Third age ? ? Yep
So, Is it living? No
First Age? Unknown
Event? No

OK, I'll go for the obvious.

Is it Galadriel's simple white dress?
