ANNATAR: She runs back and forth to meet a sailor; a most fair-seeming one!
Nerwen, what was the 'charitable fellow' aspect of Azog? |
The first bolded bit in my synopsis. "Somewhat" because a.) he threw Nar coins "of little worth" and b.) it was done ironically.

I'm wondering about the possible meanings of "swinger"...
For #1, I am going to tentatively guess BELERIAND, which does contain "lie", and did contain some nasty arachnids- and IIRC is what's being specifically referenced in your latest quote. "B" or "A" or "E" could be the notes, but I'm not sure how the "venture" part comes into it.
I also, by the way, looked at specific places in Beleriand and had a laugh about how over-the-top Tolkien's Eeevil location names can be: "Take a hike through the Forest Under Nightshade, over the Mountains of Terror and down into the Valley of Dreadful Death..."
