The password is indeed ERENDIS. It couldn't be Artanis, because that is the answer to the final clue, and I don't tend to use an answer twice in one puzzle.
It's only relatively recently that we've had themes every time as well as passwords.
Mine does have a theme too. But it isn't one that you have yet suggested (ingenious though many of your suggestions are!)
Miriel is not the answer to number 4. You might want to consider that the 'straight' part of the clue is not always at the beginning.
Don't forget that the theme may not be spelt out, as with Nerwen's 'Numenor' one. It may be 'silent,' but with all the answers - INCLUDING the password - fitting it.
E: Lady born where three ways meet, however tortuously.
Rose: She certainly troubled Cupid’s counterpart!
E: Wells girl found a way, through confusion, to reveal her.
N: Secluded lady? Ancient letter reveals her.
D: Eva’s epesse? For her, the simile has not grown stale.
Idril: Sounds like a utopic time for her.
Sinatra (Artanis): Noble lady runs back for Ol’ Blue Eyes.
...
As a hint, the theme is proving difficult because of the *order* in which the clues have so far been guessed.

Reason: Give a 'general' hint about the theme of the answers.
