'yar' is right ("Yarrr!" says the pirate), and the Vanyar are the answer, but the answer is not "VANYAR".

I was looking for "KUIVIENEN" (since Tolkien only switched from K > C pretty late), but would have accepted "KOIVIE-NENI". That... Welsh-German thing of yours is simply nightmarish, but I suppose it'll do.

(It is spelt, as all British schoolchildren know, with a Kicking Kuh, not a Curly Cuh.)

WILWARIN - The conqueror fights within? Say it shorter, flighty one.
ANARRIMA - "Article," quoth the pirate; I am a pattern named for the sun.
KUIVIENEN - Spell the water the old way - with a kick!
ENELYE - Spell it out: N, L, the (archaic), and marry her third.
5. - Go back to noodles with a different filling - sounds like a police siren?!
OROCARNI - The east is red - or a vowel vehicle in back.
7. - The first is the least. The pirate agrees, so turn it on its head.
ELENTARI - An elephant loses the beginning of its confused happiness, but gains the end of Margreet Zelle - behold the queen!
LUMBAR - Rings around the lower back.
VALACIRCA - Seven set power around.
ELEMMIRE - A chemical in a swamp? Send the shepherd away to find the lamenter.
12. S - T. rex bangs it, the first gnomes start to end - this comes first.

When was the last time a password was unguessed with three clues to go?
