She's not in there, which is a shame because I really wanted her to be. Hilariously, while grabbing one of the quotes for the completed clues I found
yet another starbrow, who... still wouldn't have been useful. XD

Entirely correct!

The game of removal is not tall.
So this last clue is a combination of three cryptic parts, to give a secondary name of one character.
SILMARIEN - An older sister, almost a maid, lies nearly backward at first. -
...the Elendilmir itself, the white star of Elvish crystal upon a fillet of mithril that had descended from Silmarien...
TELCONTAR - The king is back - let a criminal rat be back too. -
...before all went Aragorn... and upon his brow was the Star of Elendil.
AZRUBEL - From beginning to end, a massage from the midst of Hell for the father of kings. -
...Eärendil... stood now most often at the prow of Vingilot, and the Silmaril was bound upon his brow...
4.
R - The tall game of removal: a short Russian holds the three of diamonds (fake) at the back.
BAUGLIR - Look northward, bow, glare - or something like that, anyway. -
...the Silmarils in the crown on Morgoth's head blazed forth suddenly with a radiance of white flame...
ELROHIR - Break a hire around a torn and shortened roll, end up younger by half. -
...and Elladan and Elrohir with stars on their brow...
FEANARO - Turn tail, jeweller! Fear the doubled vowel with no injection. -
...at great feasts Fëanor would wear them, blazing on his brow...
ARWEN - In the middle of the evening, they are when you forget, eh? -
...Arwen... glimmering in the evening, with stars on her brow and a sweet fragrance about her...
