Oh, all right. Galling though it is to have my fiendishly complicated clue guessed, I can't in all conscience withhold the laurels. Wandlimb it is.
You're right about 'wan', and the 'lost love', but 'tower' can't be 'climb' and there's nothing to suggest the removal of a 'c'. My clue works like this:
'Pale' = wan
'Tower' = limber (a vehicle used for towing artillery pieces), with a monarch (E[lizabeth] R[egina]) removed.
'Is home to many', in other words 'houses many'. In this case, 'many' is five-hundred, represented by the Roman numeral D.
