Verily it is so.

I don't think I put in "ruin" to create a distraction and suggest an anagram that wasn't there. I think I was just trying for a completely different clue for "undo," because I used Undomiel in my last password, indicating it with the verb "loose" (as in release). So this time it was ruin in the melodramatic Victorian/Shakespearean sense.

1. Note added to a slapdash dish results in conflagration.
LEMBAS: Disturbingly, blames the rations.
3. Mythical king said and heard to eat in lost kingdom.
4. We hear hesitation and time asked for a doomed maiden.
RADAGAST: German wheel sounds appalled by this chap.
UNDOMIEL: Ruin the French honey for an epesse.
NIPHREDIL: Pinch around a town in Surrey, but lose liquid to grace a nightingale's birth.
GALION: A poetically spectral warship sounds in his nomenclature.
