If it's crucially connected with the Shire but not in it, how about NENUIAL? (Lake Evendim). I don't think the short chieftain can be a dwarf, though .... The first three letters of leader are in there, but ....
It's also 'lieutenant' minus three letters, but for 'short' I'd expect to lop the letters off the beginning or the end.
