Primula - from Buckland? On the Shire's borders.
Primula BaggiNs or Primula BraNdybuck. Her name is a bloomer. She drowned.

Yep . Near enough
1 ELENWE The Spanish, in France, take directions for her. 2 AMROTH Prince of Wales? Another preposition would be more apt. 3 BERUTHIEL Her instruction for mercy preceded confused fib. 4 NUMENOR Muddled nun more lost here? 5 ISILDURThe king is otherwise sensational although a bit mixed up. 6 NIENOR Her countenance is slightly awry to begin with however. 7 PRIMULA BRANDYBUCK bloomer from a border 8 DROGO Fall endlessly for him, then proceeed. 9 BOROMIR Steal confusedly with a Spanish painter. 10 BELERIAND Here strong, Elvish Queen loses grace initially but takes note. 11 MAGLOR - Graduate is endlessly glorious.

'Water Ending' was a great password. Nice and original, too.
Don't get too hung up on the password too early with this one. It's a South Yorkshire dialect word, so may not be familiar to all - I thought it only fair to say so. So keep guessing the clues and see what happens. Hope you like it. 1. Friend and goddess. Lose an article to carry Undomiel. 2. Regarding him, one would hope not to hear this happened to the owner! – the thing that initially swallows apricot rolls, that is. 3. Benign growth attached to monarch, without note, reveals him. 4. See him strike family! 5. See him appear, when a Baggins runs back. 6. Gold meat? Mince it to see him!

#3: 'monarch without note' suggests an ending of KIN, and... well, a growth might be a LUMP, or potentially even a FATTY LUMP-KIN.
Which immediately suggests that #4 might be fellow pony BUMP-KIN. ... wikis really do make some of these fall quickly, don't they? #5: AROD looked like it could be a Hobbit name backwards, and sure enough, Dora Baggins is Frodo's aunt and famed letter-writer. hS |

2. Regarding him, one would hope not to hear this happened to the owner! – the thing that initially swallows apricot rolls, that is. FATTY LUMPKIN: Benign growth attached to monarch, without note, reveals him. BUMPKIN: See him strike family! AROD: See him appear, when a Baggins runs back. 6. Gold meat? Mince it to see him! Sorry, I was mistaken. It's a random letter password.

It's clear at this point that you meant South Yorkshire, Greece, and the password must be 'hippos'.
#1: 'To carry Undomiel' sounds like we're looking for Arwen's horse (which is what put my in the horsey mindset to start with), but I don't think she has a named horse. (I said doesn't; put Asfaloth back!) On the other hand, what she does have is a grey PALFREY to take her to Minas Tirith, which is pal + Freya. So I'd say that'll do nicely. hS |

For #6, I'm going to throw out a guess at HASUFEL, who's the only horse not already used with an AU in it (for gold). The only word I can make with the leftover letters is SHELF, but... no, hang on, it's FLESH, isn't it?
As far as #2 goes... okay, Hurin had a horse named ARROCH, which is made up of ROCH (Sindarin 'horse', so 'the thing' itself) + AR (Apricot Rolls). I... guess you wouldn't want a rock to 'happen' to Hurin? I don't know, I'm grasping at hay here. hS |

Think of what you wouldn't want to happen in relation to the horse itself. The AR is correct, but in Arroch, it isn't swallowed, is it?

Ah, now I follow the structure. You certainly wouldn't want to hear Eorl fel(l) of(f) his apricot-loving steed FELAROF.

Thanks - that was a good one, a nice mix of dominos to follow and tricky clues to frown over. And I never would have guessed the password itself.
Here we go with something that may not be quite as nice. :-/ 1. - The king stands before a warren, to devour him subjectively. 2. - "Here, Lou - in!" Only fair, no? 3. - No Gollum, but say "Oh! Win!" to claim sword and shield. 4. - Legolas' end by Gimli denoted on the long shore. 5. - 1, lord of what? 6. - The top and tail of a farmer's song, the head of a sea-maid - a king? 7. - One cloth trumpet for a walker. 8. - Reported by the dwarves: lisping shark, one (French). 9. - Listen, the crowned one is glad: add hay to reel. 10. - A stick or a steed? 11. - He is taken past the family. 12. - Adam fell? Add one at the end, subtract six from the start, flip it around for one of two. hS |

7. A-rag-(h)orn.
One of the Nine Walkers, and also called Strider. 10. A-rod.

1. THEODEN has 4 letters standing before DEN.
HE - the subject form of him - is swallowed, but by T and O, which I can't account for.

5. Rohan, if it refers to clue 1?
Or Sauron or the Ring, if it refers to the One Ring?

3. Slightly silly guess for EOWYN eho sounds like (E) Oh! Win!.
4. ANFALAS: "one foe less", referring to their pseudo-competition at Helm's Deep.

2. HIRLUIN the Fair.
11. The past of taken is TOOK, so is it Pippin? Peregrin? Everard? Gerontius? A male of that family. 5. White tree? THE ... It looks like THE OTHERS ... the people in TTT and ROTK but not with Frodo. The people and poppos in Books 3 and 5. But 'others' doesn't have 2 A's or as many letters.

Thank you. It had to be a broad interpretation as The W was elusive. I never heard of poppos to mean equines despite growing up in Rohan- by-the-Sea, albeit in the South. Have recently heard bobos but that is East Midlands

My family use the term. It's a South Yorkshire word.

Correct.

Nope. I suppose they are a countable set, but the one you need is counted by Tolkien. Quote:

Isn't everything countable in the books counted by Tolkien?

I wonder if Poppos is related to hippos or if just coincidence. Anyway vague stab at Galadriel for nine. If you ‘any fer ‘orses to glad and add reel it might sound like it and her name means radiantly garlanded maiden ..

Although ... what would the gate of Minas Tirith have to do with Galadriel?
Hang on ... did Balin and Co drive out foes from the Great Gate?
