It does in my German, at least! 'Bein sei (east)' is German German (English), so you needed English English (German) to reverse it. And as someone guessed a while back, Belegost is a mine - 'dig deep'!

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)
BELEGOST - Bein sei (east); dig deep and reverse it. (Dwarven city of the BLUE Mountains.)
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)

THEME: Colours of the rainbow (in order)

Over to... Urwen, right? Good work, everyone!
