A double plank am I. The second meaning of house sailed right over my head! I knew Imladris wasn't quite right, because Elrond's house is in it rather than it being in his house, without the extraneous m from lad + Iris. Then I tried to make Erestor work ... I think he was in Elrond's house at least once! (I think he spoke at the Council).
They were darned challenging clues, and beautifully written!
I still had one left in my password hoard. Here it is:
1. Galadriel’s lord – or a possible alter-ego thereof who might – ahem – indicate misuse of Mirror?
2. Halbarad initially joins the chaotic destruction visited upon him.
3. Ultravox’s leader returns? Be that as it may: he commands the music.
4. Garment disarrayed for this crosser of mountains.
5. Tookish engineer? Sounds like it!
6. Alice Munro’s sister is perturbed before taking wing?
7. Company, in short, joins moped binge in confusion in the valley.
8. Rise high and mingle to find a water source.
9. Hungry baby in the Shire?
10. Contempt loses one dwarf, but leaves another?
11. Fab village which inspired Butterbur’s home?
12. Inert or noble grandson of Finwe?
13. Losing hair? Loses a couple of notes, too, but remains a valiant fellow.
14. See tray is arranged for the special day.
