: : I recently was reading some in the Sil, about Tuor, and this aroused one question... What ever happened to Tuor and the weapon/sheild/helm/cloak that Ulmo assigned to him in Nevrast? Any insights?

: I'm fairly certain that Tuor wore them when he and Idril Celebrindal set out to sea. They went off and "came no more into any tale or song." He certainly didn't leave them for his son (we would've heard about that), and perhaps with those gifts he mastered the powers of Ulmo and Osse and was led to Aman. We can always hope...

: -Eomer

Tuor's only physical gift from Ulmo was a cloak (formerly a small part of the Spirit's own), it vanished when it had "done its part" in Gondolin- ie after Tuor had said his piece to Turgon and became himself again. The other trappings; mail and sword, and possibly shield and helmet (I cannot remember how much gear he got) were left by Turgon when he left Nevrast. It was left on the bidding of Ulmo so that Turgon and his people (guards) might the easier recognise Ulmo's messenger when the time was ripe.
