Oh, dear. I'm not very good at making these up...

Avian Advisor is the straight clue.

Yes, "avian advisor" is a straight clue...but at least take a shot at the cryptic part.

The answer is not Eagles or Thorondor.

Perhaps a hint is in order?

If the road "goes ever on and on", how else might you describe it?

You came up with a rather tricky cryptic clue, Arestevana.

Umm, long? Tiring? Eternal? A blister in your toe?

And then there's that "hears ocean following" part. Should I search synonymes for ocean? How about sea, deep or brine? On the other hand, an ocean can rush, swish, roar or din... Another hint wouldn't hurt.

Endless?

The only thing I can think of is Endless Stair...
