This may be the most random revival ever, but I just felt like it. And I'm not even good in cryptics...
1. An old option, and well-known! 2. A master, followers found in education and the underworld 3. A circle of the future 4. The guy doesn't know what he's saying: he said that a mountain are, and mixed up his articles! 5. Gosh, the breeze brings some choice! |

I'll tell you if I succeed, but I think that anyone can post a new one instead. EDIT: I just remembered #5 and #3. I think I remember the password now, but I would still have to recall the other clues. |
OK, I now remember what all the answers are, but I'm horrified at how badly the cryptics work. Evidently I tried this before I read the Cryptic Clues thread.
So if you want to you can guess, or you can start a new one. |

1. Ironic such a place named for an abuncance of portals
2. Sacked city 3. Not quite birdbrained man but something like it. 4. Sand Piles and eating fancy, a long tradition. 5. Final walkers take this tower. 6. paddle the boat, with your appendage, gets you to Mr. Ed's home. Lots of sillyness in there. |

So I guess I should take a stab at the others: 1. Mordor 2. Osgiliath 3. R 4. D 5. Orthanc 6. Rohan really? Row + hand? I presume 'Mr. Ed' is a reference to Edoras but I ain't sure about the 'oras' bit, though around here we might pronounce 'our house' that way. If I'm right that's really groan-worthy. |

Is 5 Rivendell? Imladris is a cloven dale but assuming its vulgar means the common tongue so Rivendelll.

You're in the right area with Ents. What did Saruman actually call his new guardians? |
Wild wood demons then? Is the first one dwarves as opposed to dwarfs?
It may be that wood wose is only used in the Unfinished Tales essay on them.. |
Is number two Hiking (= High King) ?

You're on the right track. There was a third term considered for Dwarfs/Dwarves, but preserved only in a name. 1. A term considered to remove a race from Disneyland. 2.

"Dwarrow", then?
|
I was thinking Dwarrow, but can't see what else could be the acrostic itself. (Unless one is dwarrows and the other dwerrows - I think Tolkien once wrote that the plural could be either).
To stride Shire-ward, when it's all over, for a Feanorian title. March is kind of formal for hike, and Westmarch kind of fits some of the clue, as the Shire is in the (north)-west. I suppose they march back west when it's all over, albeit on ponies. But I don't know where the Feanorian title would come in. It's part of the title of a book, and Feanor devised a very important set of characters, but ... unless it could be something to do with the First Age elves who went west to Valinor and saw the light of the Two Trees. |

You got the password (in bold letters), but Pervinca got the last clue so I don't know who gets to do the next one. Quote:

I had a couple saved up for the Cryptic Clues thread, but I can't use them there yet. So I wrote five more clues for a new password:
1. Finance loses note for the father of a lord. 2. Palindromic hobbit mingled initially with Radagast, before meeting destruction at the place where his erstwhile comrade finally fell. 3. We hear anger and noise in the quiet place, but note the direction. 4. Stop around a while for an (arguably) unjust moniker. 5. All-Father loses note for a debt-ridden dwarf (we hear). 6. Teetotal Shire village. 7. A hostelry from Brontė country, we hear, inspired an unfinished demise. |
Is 6 Nobottle? 5 might be Oin because of owing biut not sure about all father.

Quote:
The Norse god Odin is often referred to as All-Father. If Odin loses a note (d), it becomes Oin. BTW there is no clue to the whole password in my clues, because I think that gives it away too easily. I read the first page of this thread and I don't think that was stated as a requirement. I'll check again .... |
