I'll take that under advisement. >: D

I'm not sure I would have if I hadn't been driving hard to get the whole thing! I've never heard the term before (I'm guessing it's from the King's Letter), and only found it after exhausting all possibilities of Shire placenames with letters from Pincup at the end.
That was an excellent password (and I'm not just saying that because of the lack of anagrams
). The clues were all specific enough to be sure I had the right answer, but only once I'd got the theme as well.
This one, however, I'm not nearly so confident about
:
1. I save a third of a dwarf for last; seek me at the meeting of man and Eru.
2. Backwards we fall, the headless onion and I; are we an ogre or ent we?
3. Wearyhearted, I splash through the water with the Mariner, second in line.
4. But for my sword, you might think me an aged woman; I am not a number.
5. From paved road and shortened speech, I build and become white.
6. We're tall and we rock! And some of us are more or less decent.
