What a wonderful idea for a password, Huey!

Thank you! Kind of regretted it when I hit... anything past red and green, though. ^_~

You've got absolutely everything right here. 'sei' is (at least per Google) the present tense (maybe infinitive?) form of 'be'.

Maybe she left Treebeard and went looking for pink carnations, or something?

Nice thought, but neither of them.

My working theory is that my red-detection cones are vitually useless, meaning a) red isn't a particularly bright colour for me, b) it's easy to conflate reds and greens, and both with browns (brown, after all, is just dark yellow), and c) there's no 'purple' area between red and blue.

Just yesterday I looked at a rose bush down the length of a garden and didn't spot the huge red rose on top for about ten seconds. I halfway ended up picking it out by shape.

Anyway, tl;dr: purple is a lie invented for the sole purpose of winding me up.

Oh, blast, and I need to retract what I said to Kath - maybe you should go to Buckland...

(I did mention rotating Z to get N, or vice versa, not long ago in Huey's previous password). (I was wrong then, though).

Perhaps that's where the idea came from, I don't remember.

RUSSANDOL - Eldest son of the Urals with a little doll? Not I! (Red-headed Son of Feanor)
AFRICA, SOUTH - Far Harad? Shelob's lair? Where it all began? Maybe, but the direction is secondary. (Home of the Orange Free State)
IRIS - I risk many things, but only the first four blossom. (Yellow flowers of the Gladden Fields)
NELDORETH - The middle of a funeral bell, a squashed door, the beginning of booze - is Luthien on the beach? (Green woodlands)
5. B - Bein sei (east); dig deep and reverse it.
NORI - Not you or I, but a choice of letters all the same. Pick a dwarf (doesn't matter which; you're in second place). (Dwarf with a purple hood)
7. W - Stand her on her head! Indeed, Bergil's threat applies here, to bad Roman Virginia.
