To clarify- as with my last one, the password
is the theme. (Recall that the Nimrodel is a tributary of a tributary of the Anduin).
So, by popular demand, let's tackle #2.

Hmmm ... although I'm not 100% sure about Dale, I'm sensing a connection with water. Nimrodel and Argonath have river connections, and Dale is on or near a lake, I think?
But then, Moria could work for 2 if it's a literal tumbling and a literal (dwarf) short chieftain (and Dale sort of could as well).

Well plenty of soldiers fell in the Dead marshes which is part of Nindalf...
The comma is throwing me off but I feel here just completes the grammatical sentence? Also indicates the answer is a place.

Not Dale or Nindalf. The "short chieftain" is literal; "tumbling" is not. The comma is just to emphasize that the answer is a place (it's not grammatically required).
