Tedious fellow mixes with humanity here.

Please solve this! Amon Ereb was very close, but not the answer.

BORE was correct for tedious fellow (without the a that Squatter added), but rethink the 'humanity' part - what other things can be humanities? Think education ....

Yes indeed! BORE mixed with RE (short for the Humanities subject, Religious Education).

Over to you!

Hmmm - trying to get from Elendil to Earendil by taking away L and adding something shiny ... but ray backwards leaves a y I can't dispose of.

My first starting point was Orion.

Suspecting EREINION for the starry warrior, but can't quite find my way there. Have tried footling about with Orion plus NE for a direction, plus part of the word shine.
