Well, you have found the right person.

And the results of the kings' footrace are in!
amroth - In first place, the doll-king who simply is rage!
elendil - In second place, the exiled king to borrow sickness from!
3. Next, he would have been first had he not run backwards; this king's son's legs? Far more famous.
amdir - In fourth place, things are just short of desperate for this grey king.
oropher - Coming in second from last and feeling a bit green, this king's memories could be of him, or...
gil-galad - And in very last place, this elven-king fears things will shortly go ill; glad he didn't win, then.

The ellipsis was meant to suggest that you need to finish the sentence; the natural conclusion (to me) was 'of him, or of her, which... well, you see it.

One to go! And someone needs to find the password, too!

My earlier hint for #3 still stands: what does an apostrophe mean?
