Oh, wait? S could be 'sable mole', from STABLE (where horses are kept) - T (for tea) + MOLE (for imitation, I guess, though it's used to denote spies, these days. Which they were, but I digress... )

Per The Fall of Gondolin , there were in that city, and they all conveniently had their own symbols, emblems, colours, traits, and leaders. I decided I wanted to try another Full Set password.

But I can't find anything that fits the last two. Maybe someone else will be able to do it?

Not my area of expertise, unfortunately. Have tried, but ....

Correct!
Quote:
3: Note that this uses the second letter, which I'm very disappointed to have needed. 11. 'Look around' is just an anagram indicator. Focus on the next three words to find an anagrammed name with a Gondolin association, and then follow the rest of the clue. TOWER OF SNOW - A puller of powdered ice, or perhaps a metaphorical MOUNTAIN. (Tower of Snow) WRATH - Like hammer falling, war is a disarray of thorn(s). (Hammer of Wrath) 3.

Is the spelling of 'threee' deliberate?

3. The only thing that comes to mind is PENLOD (PEN for writing + LOT, which changes into LOD)...

None of those. You are not looking for an anagram of 'three' (or 'three e).

No and no.
The clue breaks down like this: [Anagram of whatever is meant by [three directions threee]] + 'a spouse' = 'a dreamer'. Given which House is left, the person constituting the final answer should be pretty easy to guess; it's just a matter of figuring out how I'm referring to them. hS

That is one meaning of the word, yes.
One of these answers is relevant. hS

The archaic meaning of 'SPOUSE' is 'WED', and I am thinking we should take away directions rather than add them. So 'WED' - 'W' = ED...
Either way, I think the answer is Earendil...

As to the other: you're overthinking it. Remember this: [Anagram of whatever is meant by [three directions threee]] + 'a spouse' = 'a dreamer'. 'a spouse' is not part of the anagram or its instructions. hS

But what is meant by 'three directions threee' is what I cannot figure out, really, and you're not giving any hints for that part...

Well, fine, I'll do a process of elimination. You said once it is a valid method.
Elenwe?

And more importantly: how many named people are there in the House of the King? How many have an association with dreams? How could we get from them to someone beginning with E by thinking about spouses? hS

I don't even have the list of named people in the House of the King.
Tolkien Gateway doesn't provide it and the FoG book doesn't either.

In that case, he must have some unheard-of elvish name...cos I know who you mean, and his name doesn't even contain the letter E...

Eureka!
And I've been blind. So, so blind. The answer was right there all along if you looked at it another way. You even told me one of those names is releavent, and I took it to mean one of those names is the answer. Once I realized that, and the fact that spouse could also mean 'husband', it all slid into place.
The answer is ELENWE'S HUSBAND, you sly dog, you.

And I've managed to make the full set too, with only one letter not being the first. So have at it!
1. An article, a broken container, a delay, and a preposition come together for him. 2. A direction precedes a musical instrument for him. 3. Headless argot and a preposition form him. 4. A preposition, a verb, and two directions form them. 5. A holiday and headless throws form them. 6. They're ghosts of unlight. 7. Reversed chromium is within a confused Disney bear. There he is. 8. An admirer. A murderer, cut in half? That's him. 9. A bilabial nasal, a vowel and a Vala make him up. 10. A heated metal stick is warped. He is revealed. 11. He is a band creator. 12. An insect, a verb and a note spin in circles for him. 13. Centers are muddled and vowel-less. They appear. 14. Twisted sword handle meets little mother; a robot with two directions moves in circles; there they are. 15. A medieval vehicle, a modern vehicle, to stop, are in a muddle for him.
