(The lost direction was one of the E's). Just the Y for 'wherefore.' I think you can probably guess what the numbers are for now. ;) |

#4: would this be light + (metrical) foot = LIGHTFOOT? And #3 is his second cousin, Californiumfoot... no? Oh, all right, I'll go with FIREFOOT, steed of Eomer, instead. hS |

A bad rider falls off the horse... so maybe 2. Hasufel?

Oh, but #6 could be haus + f-e-l = HASUFEL. Hmm... is the password GEEGEES? And if so, with no obvious derivation but a G in the right place and rightly being an 'it', could #1 be WARG? (Actually I have no idea whether any orcs actually ride wolves in the books - did they just run along next to them in The Hobbit?) hS |

FELAROF: Sounds like he describes what a bad rider did, with a pencil top right in the exact middle and a direction following thereafter? (2) FIREFOOT: Elemental trochee reveals him.

(1) PASSWORD: GEEGEES A capital A looks like the top of a pencil. But it needed an R, so have amended the clue. No to WARG; it's the hardest one ... though not to a Tolkien language expert like your good self. ;) |
O-kay then, there's a very old word BROG, meaning 'horse'; it got replaced by the more familiar roch, roh. You can derive it by taking 'brogue', which is apparently a shoe, and removing you and he - I mean 'e.
As for #7... I have no idea. I want it to contain glass (or spec) and dry, but can't come up with any S-horses which contain either of them, let alone both. hS |
I think I got 7 by working backwards from list of horses that start with S.
SNOWMANE = LENS (backwards) + WOMAN - L (no liquid = dehydrated) |

Thanks Pervinca! It's been... yeah, it's been a while since I've done one of these, but hopefully it hangs together.
1. - Take a bow, Halfelven, starless but wearing your ring. 2. - Sounds like more flesh from the sky. 3. - A warrior paints and takes tea before Indy's lost city. 4. - Fourth in the race, we hear in Gondor their cars had bladed wheels. 5. - Slightly confused tint of wood? Why not briefly look behind the cellar door third. 6. - Short or shorter - see, you know not, nor I. hS |
I am trying to find some clever thing with C's and U's for the last one, but for now the only name I could get out of it was NORI.
|
Or maybe ORI, as shorter than NORI?

1 has to have something to do with ELROND. But taking out the star just leaves ROND.
Unless it's the Ring of Barahir. Is it Arwen without her starry epesse? |
Perhaps 2 is a MEATeorite. :D
I'll get me coat. |

Does 4 have to do with CARNIVORES? Car knife O's...
|
1. ELERONDO, his Quenya name?
No. Doesn't make sense, apart from adding an O. |
The man in the moon fell 'like a meteor,' as I recall.
Unfortunately, though, I think it was Dori, not Nori, who fell down under the Misty Mountains, causing Bilbo to fall (off his back) too. |

Is it where he takes a bow and leaves - something to do with the Havens?
Did he have Vilya yet when he last wielded a bow? Is it just Vilya? |

BELTHRONDING has the whole of ELROND in it, so it isn't starless, but I don't know any other named bows, except ones named by saying who owns them. |

3 and 4 are probably the ones you're most likely to get. hS |
After meditating on the clues without any success for the last few days, I still haven't come up with any answer, but I think I found the one connection between "Nori" and "meteor"........
Password: AMAZON ...Making it the hobbit Nori, not the Dwarf Nori. Which probably makes #1 that guy... wassisname... Arondir? AIR + ROND. |

No idea why, but could O be OCHRE - a colour with the sound of OAK in it?

The lost city from Indiana Jones would appear to be PETRA.
Possibly a part of that answer? |

Other options seem to be:
Ceiba Z Eldorado Can anyone else who's around do anything with these? I'm a bit busy at the moment. |

TANIS.
ARTANIS? Not enough of the cryptic stuff in it, I suppose. Am guessing something longer, but ending in TANIS. |
Quote:
(I actually knew Tanis was a city, but had to look up why I knew it. Was dreading having to clue a random Egyptian city!) ARONDIR - Take a bow, Halfelven, starless but wearing your ring. METEOR - Sounds like more flesh from the sky. ARTANIS - A warrior paints and takes tea before Indy's lost city. 4. Z - Fourth in the race, we hear in Gondor their cars had bladed wheels. 5. O - Slightly confused tint of wood? Why not briefly look behind the cellar door third. NORI - Short or shorter - see, you know not, nor I. Two to go! Both had to use a non-initial letter, and indicate this. hS |
I had to open up the movie threads again to remind me the other show names, and I think O matches to BRONWYN.
Looking at it, it makes sense as BROWN + Y. N. (for why not). Not sure what cellar doors have got to do with it. Is she in a cellar in one of the promo photos? I kept looking for actual wood types that might also be tints, but this was much simpler. |

After days of going in my mind through every Numenorian Z-containing name I could think of, I thought - how about think of actual races, there aren't that many of them.
KHAZAD No idea how or why, but it fits the letter. "Cars had"? But why Gondor, or wheels? |
