I'm at least 90% sure the abbreviation for Virginia is VA... 'mal' is 'bad, Roman'. And apparently 'Malva' is the mallow flower, which is usually pink.

RUSSANDOL - Eldest son of the Urals with a little doll? Not I! (Red-headed Son of Feanor)
AFRICA, SOUTH - Far Harad? Shelob's lair? Where it all began? Maybe, but the direction is secondary. (Home of the Orange Free State)
IRIS - I risk many things, but only the first four blossom. (Yellow flowers of the Gladden Fields)
NELDORETH - The middle of a funeral bell, a squashed door, the beginning of booze - is Luthien on the beach? (Green woodlands)
5. B - Bein sei (east); dig deep and reverse it.
NORI - Not you or I, but a choice of letters all the same. Pick a dwarf (doesn't matter which; you're in second place). (Dwarf with a purple hood)
W∀˥Λ∀ BRANDYBUCK - Stand her on her head! Indeed, Bergil's threat applies here, to bad Roman Virginia. (Named for the pink mallow)

One to go!
