That was a good stab. It was an anagram of ON RAND. You have the floor, I think.

1. NANDOR Loiterers in disarray using southern coinage
2. IORETH One alternative, possibly, from royal authority
3. GALDOR Confused, pleased with gold supplied by shipyard agent
4. PALLANDO Grim drapery and ring make one blue
5. ANGRENOST Bewilderingly, no strange place for a quiet smoke
6. GOLLUM Birthday boy is, note, possibly amused with hesitation
