1. Most beautiful and beloved.
2. Troels gets mixed up with the horses? Well, it’s his job! We heard it in a song. 3. One of a quartet that we were bidden (in song) to give the right of way. 4. Deafening explosive reveals her in devastation. 5. Swamp where Ultravox have had a wee? 6. Anger is reversed? What a fuss on the way here, though! 7. Showboat time? Sing! But trade a flower for a tree to reveal him. 8. Two negatives: one French, one English, mingle circularly. 9. A Latin queen, initially? Add mixed stock to reveal him. |
6. Eriador (IRE backwards + ROAD anagrammed)
|
9. Erestor (RE+STORE)

Correct end results, but it's ERI (IRE) + ADO + R and E(lizabeth) R(egina) (as seen on most of the UK's post boxes) + STORE. |
Does #1 include synonyms?
|
#1: Arwen?
|
No and no.
Or rather: Sort of and sort of. |
#1: Vanimelde? (Elvish cognate of 'most beautiful' and 'beloved')
|
VANIMELDA: Most beautiful and beloved.

5. Midgewater Marshes (where Midge watered?)

I can only see 'Vanimelde' as the password. As in Tar-Vanimelde? :confused:
|
Afraid not.
|
7. Old Man Willow (Old Man River - River + Willow)
|
8. Nienor (RIEN+NO)
|
Password: Volume one?
|
VANIMELDA: Most beautiful and beloved.
O: Troels gets mixed up with the horses? Well, it’s his job! We heard it in a song. L: One of a quartet that we were bidden (in song) to give the right of way. U: Deafening explosive reveals her in devastation. MIDGEWATER MARSHES: Swamp where Ultravox have had a wee? ERIADOR: Anger is reversed? What a fuss on the way here, though! OLD MAN WILLOW: Showboat time? Sing! But trade a flower for a tree to reveal him. N: Two negatives: one French, one English, mingle circularly. ERESTOR: A Latin queen, initially? Add mixed stock to reveal him. No Nienor in FOTR, of course. ;) But nice thinking. It was uncanny how Vanimelde fit perfectly at one point. I'd certainly never thought of it for the password, and was surprised by it as a guess for that. |
There is no female with an initial U in FOTR either.

Unless you mean Undomiel, but there is Vanimelda already.
|
Also, can't find L either, and googling 'give the right of way song lyrics' yields nothing either.

Undomiel is correct, but work out the elements. Then I'll put it in. Undomiel refers to the scene where Frodo sees her for the first time, under a canopy at the feast. As for L, reread and rethink the clue. |
One of the quartet implies one of the hobbits.....
|
Not one of the hobbits. The answer is in a song.
|
How stupid I was.
Undomiel = LOUD+MINE |

A real-life one or a Tolkien one? |
A Tolkien one. And my words are a paraphrase, which is why a Google Search wouldn't find them.
|
"Tree and flower and leaf and grass
Let them pass, let them pass." 3. Leaf? |
VANIMELDA: Most beautiful and beloved.
O: Troels gets mixed up with the horses? Well, it’s his job! We heard it in a song. LEAF: One of a quartet that we were bidden (in song) to give the right of way. UNDOMIEL: Deafening explosive reveals her in devastation. MIDGEWATER MARSHES: Swamp where Ultravox have had a wee? ERIADOR: Anger is reversed? What a fuss on the way here, though! OLD MAN WILLOW: Showboat time? Sing! But trade a flower for a tree to reveal him. N: Two negatives: one French, one English, mingle circularly. ERESTOR: A Latin queen, initially? Add mixed stock to reveal him. Two to go! |
I only found Troels Skovgaard
|
Troels is a Danish name, but you don't have to look for any particular Troels.
|
Assuming that O isn't the first letter, Bob?
|
O is the first letter.
It's a bit like the LEAF clue. |
Ostler (anagram of TROELS and caretaker of horses). From the 'Man in the Moon' song.
|
Indeed!
VANIMELDA: Most beautiful and beloved.

Is the N one a person or a thing or a language or something? It isn't specified....
|
It is. Or at least, it's hinted.
Ask yourself why there seem to be two anagram indicators. |
Nenya? (NE for French negative and ANY for english negative)
