Yikes, I go away for one day...! Let's see then:

Apparently Norelands is an Irish horse breeder. So that's a no.

Yep! All reversed, except 'the' needs to be mixed up as well (unless you write it in Tengwar, which treats 'th' as a single character).

It is not; sorry, I got this crossed with Region for #3.

You got it between you!

Nope. 'Capital' is the straight clue though.

Neither of these is correct, though one of them is partly so.

^_^ Sorry, I can't resist a 'here = Barrow-Downs' joke.

Spot on (renamed after the Battle of Sarn Athrad). Which brings us to...
1. - A dull pub between the rivers.
OSSIRIAND - I say: Oh sir! I hand this damp place (to you).
REGION - An area, with trees.
4. - A little later, the shortened line of Italian nobles stands on the shore.
5. - By a slightly longer name, would still smell as sweet, and probably of holly.
6. - Big, purple, fancy glove - no, sorry, I misread, it's just a river.
7. - A cry of greeting over most of a thousand kilos of rabbits, just outside the door.
THOUSAND CAVES - You send, formally and pretty much, Latin cautions underground.
9. - A division without us? Normally after a short monster where the capital stands.
LHUN - Attila in bad French runs towards a haven.
OLD FOREST - I am aged, I am off to bed, I am just west of here.
RATHLORIEL - In anger and the voice of the laws of Hell, name me a second time after the battle.
13. - Hell, Mike reversed into a pit and found the leader a step in.
ESTOLAD - He stole ads? You'd never hear it once in the camp.
NELDORETH - A scrambled article, a stick, and a singular lens got turned around in the woods.
Two of the remaining clues use (and state that they use) the second letter of the answer. Other than that, they're all initials.
