Sheepland is Numenor, isn't it? Erendis and Ancalime don't want to leave their sheep, IIRC.

Maybe ALDARION for number 10. (The clue, not Downing Street).

5. ELROS, equating Numenor with Atlantis?

I was going for Anardil, but since they're the same person, it works.

I don't know if 'sheep land' needs to be a whole country, but EMERIE is the sheep district of Numenor.

4. Siril.

11. Galadriel, because of the Ring of Adamant?

2. Hat-hold-ir, friend of Tar-Meneldur.

Would the last one be Ossiriand?

Here we go, then:

1. It drags the bearer earthwards.
2. Zero edge to this hang-out! But it’s colossal.
3. Within a vow are mingled a note, two ways and two eyes, we hear? There!
4. A Fallohide shows it to a Stoor.
5. Here! Lisp an orcish preposition, and add a legal property right!
6. May they redirect a mumak!

It is, but can you give it a descriptive name? (Descriptive in a way that goes with how the clue refers to it).

2. Oliphaunt, from O (zero) + lip (sort of edge) + haunt (hang-out)

And thus Book VI for the password?

Yes. One can extrapolate that 'ishi' means 'in' from 'agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.'

I think Tolkien used 'lip' in that sense: 'the lip of the dell,' or something.

'Mumak! Mumak! May the Valar turn him aside!'

(I guess lady oliphaunts didn't go to war?) Or maybe he was referring to the rider.

BURDEN: It drags the bearer earthwards.
OLIPHAUNT: Zero edge to this hang-out! But it’s colossal.
OSGILIATH: Within a vow are mingled a note, two ways and two eyes, we hear? There!
K: A Fallohide shows it to a Stoor.

ITHILIEN: Here! Lisp an orcish preposition, and add a legal property right!
VALAR: May they redirect a mumak!

Knife for the last one? (Is Frodo a Fallohide?)

Ooohhh, that's a good one!

However, right Fallohide, right Stoor, wrong thing.

(Frodo has Fallohide blood, yes. Hence his physical appearance and adventurous nature. And skill with languages and speech. He would presumably also have some Harfoot traits from his Baggins father, though, like Bilbo had).
