Short and sweet: I have but a string of curses, yet all revolves around me. What am I? Hint #1: I am blissfully ignored, sitting where rare items lie dead. Hint #2: They surround me and threaten me. The three threaten to close on me. Hint #3: I am no friend nor foe, yet you hate me. You call me worthless and trash - yet I am sold specially.. Hint #4: Almost all know of how to receive me, and 26 others. I am no tool of anyone, with little use coming out of my existence. Hint #5: Two short efforts stand by my side. No one shall ever know if they are successful or not.
