the kelvin was named for Lord Kelvin, hence it's a "noble degree". Figure out "Roman family" and you're there.

Theme: the Password makes it have a very specific application, beyond simply "places in Rhovanion"

1 WITHERED HEATH
2 ???I???: Here you'll find the bewildered spokesman for the heads of failed enterprises.
3: LONELY MOUNTAIN
4 ???D???: Here they confuse Arwen with a banker
5: ESGAROTH
6 ???R???: 3 nurses donate a user interface, but it's a mess
7???L???: The manors of a Roman family in a noble degree
8: LAKETOWN
9: BEORN
10: DALE
