Fan?
Well now I'm really at a lossAlso close! But no.
If you're of a certain persuasion, I can help with steering;
Truly, a marvel of engineering!
With my friends, I'll keep you warm or cool;
Or by my lonesome, a unique sort of tool.
One word!

If it's not fan, then what is it!?
Well, that one was through google chrome,Lol.
Yall have danced ALL around the word I'm thinking of!
Just for a hint.... Ai isn't interpreting"persuasion" the same way I meant it.
Well, that one was through google chrome,
the next time I tried on microsoft edge told me 'tire' was the answer, but I don't think it fits all the other clues
.....the best of the two is probably "blade"... as it can warm/cool as a fan blade, steer a boat by pointing a propeller blade and a useful tool alone to ward off wild turkeys.
My other guess only fits everything in more poetic/symbolic senses "wind".... as it can steer a sail, warm/cool. It's symbolically a tool human's use... kinda sorta![]()
I was thinking 'sail' ........
Fan?
Wing
Bird? Tail?
RockI keep forgetting that solving a riddle means I have to come up with one.

I saw the ribbon alert and was like "WHAT! There is NO WAY I won with that answer"Congratulations, you have won the side-quest!
The riddle, however, remains unanswered.![]()

I'm still stumped.
It's obviously a fan tail wing bird sitting on a tire.
I stand corrected.Haha no, @GaryA guessed it.
Birds steer through the air using their tail feathers as a rudder. Feather down can keep you warm, larger feathers can be arranged as a fan to keep you cool. And a single feather/quill can be used as a writing implement. ✍![]()
