Nope, but you got the girl part right, now translate flame. Also, I forgot one letter

CEORL:Carbon precedes confused knowledge
2. Flame girl
3. An accursed jewel
SHAGRAT: Reversed wound meets a rodent for him
5. A man of stature meets a negative atom for a flower
6. Confused bullfighting cry for him
7. Leader of sea-farers
FRODO: Note precedes confused entrance for a hero
9. Dark girl is the enemy of darkness
10. Reversed yell precedes a substance made from carbon
RIAN: Direction precedes male name for her
12. Bleak meets an article for him
13. He shares his name with a Roman emperor
14. Reversed cut-off way for him
15. He keeps the beverage

It should actually be like this.

Yup, it was unneeded, which I realized when you answered. There were two S's when there was supposed to be one.

SIL does mean flame!

So does MAR.

Question is, is there a Tolkien character called NARWEN, or is it just a Tolkien fan name?

Curse Of Morgoth?

I went back to Jim Allan's 'An Introduction To Elvish' and 'ur' was listed as heat/hot, I think.

And maybe Morwen for 8? I can't remember why she's the enemy of darkness, although her family all opposed Melkor, of course.

That's exactly why she is an enemy of darkness.

CEORL:Carbon precedes confused knowledge
URWEN: Flame girl
R:An accursed jewel
SHAGRAT: Reversed wound meets a rodent for him
E: Confused bullfighting cry for him
O: Leader of sea-farers
FRODO: Note precedes confused entrance for a hero
MORWEN: Dark girl is the enemy of darkness
O: Reversed yell precedes a substance made from carbon
RIAN: Direction precedes male name for her
G: Bleak meets an article for him
O: He shares his name with a Roman emperor
T: Reversed cut-off way for him
H: He keeps the beverage

Two of the clues I used are victims of the password, even if only one actually suffered from it........Originally I wanted the password to be 'children of hurin' with all of the names from that book used as clues, but there was no way I could make that work

Grima for the bleak one. I went through lots of synonyms for bleak, and the Elvish, but forgot grim.

Shagrat could be seen as a victim of Morgoth. And Frodo was a victim of his chief servant.

E for Eol.

Hazard a guess - Osse for the seafarer leader?

For some reason, the first thing I thought of when looking at the T clue was "dead end", and when I reversed that I got "end dead".

*Hides under a rock* Looking for G55? No, she's not home. Yes, I'm sure. Come back tomorrow... or the day after... but never works fine as well...

The emperor is Otho, though, isn't it, not Otto? I don't think there's a hobbit called Otto in the family trees.

Here's another one:

1. ‘Oo, those awful ...!’ Quite translated.
2. Ancient people of divine spirit?
3. Two notes assemble to laugh.
4. Finesse changes note for a resplendent thing.

No, but very close.

Yes. The verb 'to laugh.'

1. ‘Oo, those awful ...!’ Quite translated.
2. Ancient people of divine spirit?
LALA: Two notes assemble to laugh.
4. Finesse changes note for a resplendent thing.

I tried googling the clue for #1 and I got a bunch of results for "OO, those awful orcs".

Oh, sorry ... I did wonder if I had remembered the wrong adjective, and I had.

Still, apply the instruction in the second sentence of the clue, and hey presto!

'Oo, those awful orcs' is the title of a well-known early criticism of LOTR.
