Or Longbottom Leaf in particular, because Fingolfin contains the letters LONG, a bottom is something you can squeeze, and a leaf is green.

It's a *kind* of leaves. If you know something of the Valinorean. ;)

CARNIL: Without wheels, so to speak, see it shine. (Red star)
ORALD: He holds currency, though muddled and directionless. (Yellow boots) LAVA: Turn precedes a palindromic actress? Goodness, it’s hot! (Orange) BACON: Frodos Dreme? No, but it features heavily in at least one of his kinsman’s – take the fourth. (Pink) PURPLE EMPERORS: Something Bilbo would have seen, had they not been black. Take the second. (Purple) ROMESTAMO: He sends no rugs back to the twin city? (Blue wizard) -S: An ocean! - Fingolfin’s squeeze, in turmoil, changes vowel on the first of November, and we see some – take the second one! THEME: THE SEVEN COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW. (UNFORTUNATELY, NOT IN THE RIGHT ORDER). Urwen, bannocks are baking in Rivendell when Bilbo first arrives there, and I think bannocks can be fried as well as baked. |

That was good! I have an inordinate fondness for tightly-constrained themes, so this was a lot of fun.
I think these all hold together, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if I'd gotten a mistake in there somewhere. 1. - An ancient city (now? then? Start huffing less) with an older and sadder name. 2. - An endless Elvish gift: one German backwards cries. 3. - Retro voting is full to the-- but dull, topped and tailed by an artisan. 4. - Not ash, and not the dead one, but good for protecting a wandering king. 5. - Lisp, Miss, and dispose (of) fire/a dwarf back to one wearing blue (blue?). 6. - Mother, you are a-- no, cut that down, wounded one. 7. - I rhyme! Or is that frost? Hang out in Hithlum and you'll see (probably). 8. - A road, a short gambler's hint, and a misspelled Hobbit for the second of three (FOUR!). 9. - If you don't know Latin, fear God and guard the ford. 10. - Make lots of money! Say "He know(s) you," and ride to the city. 11. - If Weasley was a werewolf, he might live a wolf, but he would... play music! hS |
7. Irime ('I rhyme';rime is frost)

5. MITH + RID + NAR = MITHRANDIR (I have to echo you - blue? :confused:)
4 makes me think of Narsil, but can't fit it to the clue. 8 - hey! I swear I've seen this trick before! Except that neither, um, participant has a road and a something and a hobbit. |

Could 3 be CELEBRIMBOR? Purely because it contains BRIM and he was a ring artisan.

#2 suggests NIE, which gives rise to several mopey name possibilities. An Elvish gift is ANNA or something like it, from Annatar. Hence, NIENNA. |

Uncommitted?
9. Theodred? (Dread of theism in incorrect Latin?) 11. Daeron? (Ron ... not sure about werewolf). |
I expected you to at least say something about the thing. *disappointed*
|
You're right - it seems remarkable that you thought of him and I didn't.
I didn't think of Frodo's other names. I'd no reason to, because I had no idea of the theme at that point. ;) |

All three correct. 1. U - An ancient city (now? then? Start huffing less) with an older and sadder name. NIENNA - An endless Elvish gift: one German backwards cries.

DAERON - If Weasley was a werewolf, he might live a wolf, but he would... play music! (I'm pretty sure it's 'Dairon' not 'Dayron'.) hS |
Well, I think that Gandalf and Frodo are very committed towards destroying Sauron, but that could just be me...
|
Quote:
Wait. Oh. Are they uncommitted as in... single? EDIT: Making #1 URWEN = UR + WHEN |
'Single' is what I understood. Hence my remark about not thinking of Frodo until I'd worked out the theme.
I thought the password started with the word 'Once' for a bit. Ron's brother Bill nearly became a werewolf. I was trying to put Bill into the answer for quite a while. |

I like the Urwen clue, but what is the 'ancient city' element?
