EIGHTEEN: Years of old-wise possession (give or take six months).
2. Second of three, but the first to die.
ELF: Eleven, teutonically, but only one in the Fellowship.
VILYA: One of three – we hear why in a shaken bottle?
EIGHT: Limbs of the Terror of the Haunted Pass.
NINETY-NINE: Good age to adopt? Legal, at any rate.
7. This, and sweet, in a Twelfth Night song – so many Great Rings!
8. Famed for two things, primarily.
9. Number of heads on Bill Huggins.
10. One of four; mangled ancient letter meets distant object?
11. Third of a kind, but destined – pretty soon – for higher honours.
I had forgotten, but 'The Twelve Days Of Christmas' is indeed sung in 'Twelfth Night' - or the stage directions hint that it is. It isn't the song that the clue refers to, though.
