Arguably, but that's not what I'm looking for

COH says that he succeeded in escaping, but that his hand was cut off

1. GRISHNAKH: Arab handmaid ate Jewish pastry- the upset without 440 produced a fiend (sword-hand pierced by an arrow)
2. SAURON: Get out? Nein! He's backwards! (dactylectomy by Isildur)
3. BEREN: Remember England; he was in there. (wolf with the munchies)
4. TRAHALD: Bluetooth gets garbled after tea, so you'll have to unscramble him (hands hurt by Sauron's torturers)
5. MORGOTH: Black. Black clothes, black outlook (burned by Silmarils)
6. MAEDHROS: He's like, "Crazy beach, crazy!" (hand amputated by Fingon, *and* burned by a Silmaril)
7. MAGLOR: Glam rocker without even thinking- he was the first and might be the last (burned by a Silmaril)
8. ???N???: Key crew! Activity will reveal him
9. FRODO: He's a dunce on one side (dactylectomy by Gollum)
10. ISILDUR: The moon, duh? (burned by the Ring)

You didn't see it, did you?

Yep! (D, like all notes of the scale, is also the name of a musical key)

Over to you, Urwen

Key could actually be any letter of the alphabet, couldn't it? Every one of them is a computer key.

Yeah, but that's too easy

Not for the guesser!

1. A measure swallows a spun carpet for a king
2. A turbulent wind and an insect reveal him
3. Double noted, an article and an animal reveal the flutist
4. A staff is delayed, in reverse, for him
5. A headless amphibian reveals him
6. An ancient animal enclosure circulates for the leader of two
7. A booklet, a drink and a direction are muddled up for the slayer
8. An element, a note and a river fluctuate, and a miner with a broken arm is revealed

5- Rog, the captain of Gondolin? (FROG - F)

And 8 is Maeglin, Mg + A + NILE

1 is Turgon, TON + RUG

6 OLD + PEN = Penlod, who led both the Pillar and the Tower of Snow

Aaaand the password is GONDOLIN

2 Egalmoth, GALE + MOTH

ROD-LAG backwards is Galdor

Yeah, each time Pervinca did one of the council ones, I was disappointed that they weren't Lords of Gondolin, so I made a puzzle for them. (And so I can make the 'one of these things is not like the others' joke. :p)

TURGON: A measure swallows a spun carpet for a king
EGALMOTH: A turbulent wind and an insect reveal him

Over to you.

(Did you get my little joke, by the way?)

Maeglin's broken arm?

I meant this

It's been a busy evening, folks, and I have to get to bed. New puzzle in the morning

Before you do, I have just one question: did you get the joke? (The one I've quoted, that is.)

1: Bean designated tenth man, cut here
2: Here you'll find the bewildered spokesman for the heads of failed enterprises.
3: Washington, Whitney and Hood got together, but it was left out
4: Here they confuse Arwen with a banker
5: Garlicky slowpoke; if you switch church leaders, you're there.
6: 3 nurses donate a user interface, but it's a mess
7: The manors of a Roman family in a noble degree
8: Cabbageville
9: Named for its leading resident, who sounds like a Borg
10: Here is a ruined bargain

No, I don't think I cottoned to it (except that Maeglin was the Judas of the group)

So you did understand it.

Well, he was still a Lord of Gondolin. Just the bad one.

Back to your puzzle.

Bean = Sean Bean = Ned Stark.

There is no location with 'neck' in its name, otherwise it would have been perfect.....

10. DALE (From DEAL)

1: Bean designated tenth man, cut here
2: Here you'll find the bewildered spokesman for the heads of failed enterprises.

9: Named for its leading resident, who sounds like a Borg
DALE: Here is a ruined bargain

9. Beorn's Hall (Because Beorn does kinda sound like a borg)

Close enough. Actually because Beorn is cognate with Bjorn, as in Bjorn Borg.

8. Lake Town (KALE+TOWN)

Theme: Places/People in the Hobbit

4. Forest River (Because it almost contains INVESTOR)

I am searching for a place which begins with N and ends with D, but there are none that fit the theme

Password is Wilderland, another name for Rhovanion. :D
