Evisse and Nilpaurion - both getting colder...

No.
symestreem - warmer, hot!
Finwe and Miriel - both colder.

#6 - I think I must have been a little confused when I wrote this - I probably should have said "Hurin's kinsman" rather than "Morwen's kinsman". Sorry to everyone - this should clear things up.
#7 - Sam is the closest guess so far. For the cryptic part "turning right", think of sled dogs and horses.

7. Gorlim

I think the command for right for sled dogs is "gee" and Gorlim starts with a "g" and he sorta fits the criteria, so...

6. Could it be Brodda since he married Aerin?

Eye Aha!

And #6 must be Aerin's father, Indor.

Password, anyone?

Arestevana and Saucepan Man have the correct answers! Now for the password...

1. Amon Din: The silent place on which I am.
2. River Running: Water sprinted to the east.
3. Horn Call of Buckland: Hobbits are afraid because their enemies have torches.
4. Weathertop: Atmospheric Conditions on the upside.
5. Indis: Mother of the one with the sharp tongue.
6. Indor: Morwen's kinsman not outside.
7. Gamgee: Faithful companion ends up turning right.

*gulps*

Okay, here's my attempt.

1. Cheery hideout stands before stretches of grass.
2. Confused Sam will burn or rob.
3. Araman - Half a judge follows Elvish noble in barren wasteland.
4. Luinil - Blue-shining star.
5. A lack of direction makes Wild Men miserable.
6. Nauglamir - Gift to Elvish leader causes his downfall.
7. Incomers precede heads with dried grass to mock thralls.
8. Aftercomers - Beginnings of a hobbit's departed uncle meet Elvish land, and are translated for men.
9. Long Climb passed by Greenway.
