Oh dear, that's a high bar. I'm afraid this doesn't even come close to clearing it.

1. "I turn... into my gold!" the son declared.
2. I am the king, I am angry, I
3. "We are fair as one!" he said; find the end of his title.
4. Identify a neverending stream for the princess.
5. No way you'll hear the bearer in here.
6. In (very) bad Spanish, her name is what she has.
7. "Eee, not greater," the restorer said, turning tail.

(Mostly first letters, those which aren't do say as much. No anagrams, but a lot of soundalikes.)

(And yes, all the answers are different this time, promise. ^_~)

Seven letters, seven letters. What word beginning with M could possibly have seven letters?

Not as far as I know. My Spanish is really, really bad; I'm the sort of person who would go into a bar and order 'UNO... BEERS... SI?'. (For the purposes of this clue, anyway...)

Hmmn. I think the password might be MARINER, in which case the known answers could be connected thus-

???
AMROTH- this one is tenuous. Amroth set foot on a ship, at least, though he didn't exactly voyage far...
AR-PHARAZÔN- descendant of Eärendil, the Mariner; had a fleet.
IDRIL- mother of Eärendil.
ELWING- wife of Eärendil.
???
ELESSAR- jewel worn by Eärendil; title of Aragorn II, another descendant.

Edit: ninja'd by Urwen!

Amroth sailed 'far out to see'; he counts. Ar-Pharazon had a big ship, Idril sailed to Valinor, and so did Elwing (though she started further out to sea). Aragorn sailed on Umbar in service to Ecthelion. All the characters are actual mariners, though only one of the remaining two was necessarily any good at it.

Are you just guessing sailors now? None of those.

In 1, you need to find two words that would fit into the ellipsis.

In 5, you're looking for someone really known for their boat connection, but by an uncommon name of theirs. Spotting the straight clue might also help.

And both of them begin with their password letter.

How about turning iron into gold, in which case, the answer is Mae+Iron = Mairon, who traveled via boat with good old Phary.

So it's just "made voyages"? I'm still doubtful about the applicability to unwilling sailors who throw themselves overboard, but it's your call.

Is #5 NOWË (a name of Círdan)?

Nope, not him. Is 'iron to gold' a common thing? Lead would be the usual metal, but it's not that either.

The sailing was always the plan, though; he just wanted it to happen later.

No way! Yes, it is.

1. M - "I turn... into my gold!" the son declared.
AMROTH - I am the king, I am angry, I
AR-PHARAZON - "We are fair as one!" he said; find the end of his title.
IDRIL - Identify a neverending stream for the princess.
NOWË - No way you'll hear the bearer in here.
ELWING - In (very) bad Spanish, her name is what she has.
ELESSAR "Eee, not greater," the restorer said, turning tail.

(Running into that name made me wonder again about the names of the end-Cuivienen Eldar: Ingwe, Finwe, Elwe, Olwe, Nowe, Morwe, Nurwe. Were they all named [single syllable]-we - and if so, could we use this to deduce the maximum male population of Cuivienen, or perhaps just of this generation?

(The counter argument is Elmo, of course.)

You're just guessing random substances now.

I believe the idiom I'm using goes back to the Bible; it's certainly found in various hymns. No specific substance is named, and the context is more refining than alchemy.

Bible says 'Instead of bronze, I bring you gold'.
