Older.
Reposting onto the new page, and also giving the theme, since people basically got it: 1. LAURELIN - If among the boughs of victory I stood, still I would die with my brother. 2. ARKENSTONE - A ship of rock am I, buried far north of the ship of foam. 3. M - The eldest of the younger kings raised me up, and named me for myself and my people. 4. PHIAL - When they go out, I remain: I am more caustic than vile. 5. SILMARIL - Freed from bonds of iron, I say: Hell, the same twist? Theme: Light sources hS |

Ormal, using the 3rd letter?

The Lamps are collectively the password, so no.
It uses the first letter, and is younger than the Lamps. hS |

There are a few alternative names for Laurelin, and two of them begin with M. But am I right in assuming we need to look for another source of light, not another name for one we already have?
I know ... MEWLIPS' CANDLE! That's a light source! 'With single sickly candle lit And there they count their gold. Oh damn ... too late. The hobbit songs are Third and early Fourth Age.

I thought everyone knew that.
It's in the "History of Middle-earth"- forgot which volume.

You'll find the whole thing in The History of Middle-earth XIV: The Weirdest Bits. It's just after the rewritten Moria scene where the Balrog is said to have 'wings fourfold, like the greatest dragonfly ever seen', and right before the 'Description of the Isle of Tolfalas', with the list of all 27 unicorn princesses who ruled there.

I like the idea of a Dragonfly Balrog. Especially a clumsy one who couldn't control his wings.
Thinking about it, we're more or less told how all the speaking peoples *except* hobbits came into being. (Although I don't recall reading how the race of men began, either). The star MORWINYON?

Hobbits are said, I think, to be derived Men, like Petty-dwarves are from dwarves. Though I can't help entertaining the notion that they're actually cross-breed with dwarves, or perhaps with the Druedain/Woses. (Whether we have to take the rumours of Fallohide elvish ancestry as canon is an exciting question!) Oh, yeah, password. No, not Morwinyon; younger than that. The answer was made by elves, and the clue, with the king and name stuff, still applies. hS |

Mindon Eldalieva, raised by Ingwe for the Eldar?

1. LAURELIN - If among the boughs of victory I stood, still I would die with my brother.
2. ARKENSTONE - A ship of rock am I, buried far north of the ship of foam. 3. MINDON ELDALIEVA - The eldest of the younger kings raised me up, and named me for myself and my people. 4. PHIAL - When they go out, I remain: I am more caustic than vile. 5. SILMARIL - Freed from bonds of iron, I say: Hell, the same twist? Theme: Light sources And there it is! I didn't realise the Mindon was so obscure... sorry! Ingwe is the first of the Elvenkings, who are younger in comparison to Manwe the Elder King. And the name means 'tower of the elves' - hence, 'for myself and my people'. It had a lamp/beacon on top of it, though what the purpose was when the Trees were alive I'm not sure. Over to you, Pervinca! hS |

'Lamps' really is a beautiful theme. A lovely idea for a password.
'It had a lamp/beacon on top of it, though what the purpose was when the Trees were alive I'm not sure.' And what would power it? Would it just reflect the light of Laurelin and Telperion, I wonder? You said they could probably see Laurelin by it, but why would they need to, since Laurelin provided its own light? Anyway: 1, Ioreth, two liquids and I make a queenly combination. 2. ‘Heard you, little bird!’ (She appears, with minimal disturbance). 3. Emaciated Stoor begins to resemble a highborn elf. 4. He’s initially a wee lad, without direction. 5. Edge around and greet him, with another little spin. 6. Loner? In a roundabout way, but not by choice. (A daddy, though, initially). 7. New bra loses plosive, but she appears with it back to front!

I usually play around with my password ideas and see if any of the initials seem likely for the remaining answers.

H: I'm looking over various people beginning with 'Hal'; there's half a dozen with the letters for 'lad', but once you remove the starting H (for 'he's initially'), none of them provide any useful leftover letters. If you'd mentioned Welsh bread or Arabia, I'd love HALBARAD, but... you didn't.
E: I'm gonna throw out the usual guess for EOMER. His name starts with his father's first few letters, and by being kicked out of Meduseld by Grima, he became an involuntary loner, travelling around about the countryside. hS |

Both wrong, I'm afraid.
There's a word in the H clue requiring a synonym you may not have considered. (And there's a reason for that emoticon).
