I have thought all along, though, that the final clue ends in ION, and I now think the fourth letter of it is H. I have toyed with Erchamion (or Cuthalion), but simply couldn't make the letters all work (apart from HAM for food in Erchamion).
Oh, hang on, is ERC enough of record for broken record? I kind of wondered stuff like this, but thought it too much of a long shot.

Bravo!
FOLCO BOFFIN Confused, fool tells lie to small company. Twice noted helping hand.
CEORL Note the direction upheave male name for messenger.
ERNIL Princes direct queue back.
TELCONTAR Allow rodent to reverse. Broken by negative argument from king.
MIRKWOOD Short girl with unusual name sends storm north in the future to the forest.
ERCHAMION Hero charged particle after broken record announced food.
I had an idea to do a password that goes to the second column and had to find a word that would be long enough, not obvious enough once you got a couple letters, and have decent letter combinations. At first I couldn't think of anything with KW, but Enc. of Arda suggested Mirkwood, so I stuck with Crickhollow as the password.
Sorry again about the confusion with Mirkwood. And yes, ERC is broken REC, which stands for record.
So over to you now.
