Ocean of headgear could be Helm's Deep. As for later name, Aglarond?

Also, are both H and I in 3) parts of the password?

Night Knight - another good solution!

Not sure on "Heren Istarion", but for the meaning of "Reverse Saucy", see p. 3 of this thread. (The answer to Sauceman's puzzle was the first letter of clue #1, the second letter of clue #2, etc.)

Then it's probably 1st letter in the 5th clue, 2nd in the 4th, etc. *Sigh*

My next guess is Lamedon for 1), since it has "me" in it.

You're correct!

Updating...
1. Lebennin-A land in Gondor, two tens with and without me, lacking a head and a tail.
2. Mahal-He created the present moment ahead of cruelty.
3. Heren Istarion-They were many, but only three did something.
4. Epessë of the ocean of headgear.
5. Glorfindel-Hidden elf ends in fish's top valley.

Gladly.
  • Two tens, the first with me(or I, which represents the number one)= 10+1 =11(eleven)
  • The second ten without me = 10-1 =9(nine)
  • Elevennine lacking a head and a tail=Levennin, or Lebennin

Tadah! (OK, that wasn't good, wasn't it?) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

1) Other confused moon between defeat and a half goblin with flowers.
2) No wooden bow edge.
3) High starts with back, before the right one river.
4) River stopped by white speaks at last note.
5) Muddled steel youngling.
6) Pointy Greek ship before cut king's chair followed by a note.

It's my first, and I hope it's a good one. A clue for the entire password would be gold.

1) Lossarnach (Other confused moon between defeat and a half goblin with flowers.)
2) No wooden bow edge.
3) High starts with back, before the right one river.
4) River stopped by white speaks at last note.
5) Estel (Muddled steel youngling.)

Sure.

Quote:
Other confused moon
Take another word for moon, Rana, and mix it up to get arna.

Quote:
between defeat and a half goblin with flowers
Another word for defeat is loss.
Half goblin = orch without or
With flowers was the straight clue, as Lossarnach is a flowery region.
Then stick in arna between loss and ch. Lossarnach! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

As for number 3, High is the straight clue. Think of a prefix meaning back, and I think you'll find it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
