Pipe

From LOTR-TCG Wiki

Pipes are a kind of possession. The majority of them must be used with Pipeweed Possessions to remove wounds, burdens, twilight, or recycle tales.

Like all Possessions, Pipes suffer from the same weakness to possession discarding that all possessions share; fortunately, many cards that rely on Possessions in a crucial manner allow you to fish them back out of the discard pile once removed.
