Pipe Well spoken

Welcome back, Turambar. Long time, no see.

You're right on all counts. Fancy having a stab at #1?

1. Castamir. Throw a station to nobleman.
2. Tarmenel. Sailor and other crewmembers, followed by short fairy, reach highest heaven
3. Faelivrin. Fail at everything initially, before fifty-four cut rings provide a pseudonym.
4. Tol Galen. Charge is reduced before storm over point, so island is reached.
5. Lóni. Advance, we hear, leads one to ill-starred restorer
6. Nimrodel. Mighty hunter (note 50) brings flower

Password: Mellon. A straightforward end to a tortuous path.

[EDIT]: Updated to take account of Saucepan's solution to the last clue.

Well, it's a 6 letter word ending in "AM" that is a nobleman (or means "nobleman"), but what it is exactly is escaping me.

You're right about the meaning, but not the number of letters or the word's ending.

Eye

Got it!

Throw = Cast
a = a
Station = Mir (the space station)

Castamir was a Gondorian noble before seizing the throne.

1420!

Right . . . that's what I meant.

Should I try to come up with one or has this game faded like a three age old wraith ?

Perhaps it shall be reinvigorated with a fresh question. In other words, yes please do.

Yes, Saucepan, the first answer is Castamir.

I think it was just my clues that stalled the thread, Turambar. There seems to be plenty of interest in it.
