Aye aye Captain it be yer thread

All right me hearties ...

1. Ring it for ever, kid, for her!
2. Locate two subject pronouns, we hear, and send back Spanish salt for her.
3. I hear you fetch Rover, initially. Lady of the lamp? It's all confused!
4.Dancing girl of Notre Dame, she?
5. Chaucer's Prioress reincarnates in the Shire?

Is 4 Esmeralda Took?

5. Eglantine Banks?

Theme: Hobbit girls?

1. Ring it for ever, kid, for her!
2. Locate two subject pronouns, we hear, and send back Spanish salt for her.
3. I hear you fetch Rover, initially. Lady of the lamp? It's all confused!
ESMERALDA: Dancing girl of Notre Dame, she?
EGLANTINE: Chaucer's Prioress reincarnates in the Shire?

Not hobbit girls (even though those two are).

This one is beyond me but I think 3 is an anagram of Red Jeanie

Never heard of her, I'm afraid.

There *may* be more hobbit girls in it. But hobbit girls isn't the theme.

1. Bell Goodchild?

Theme: mothers of the fellowship?

It is the mothers and I know the Password but I don’t want to make another one right now.

2. Find U I Las Findulas

And this leaves Primula or Gilraen as the last one and the last two. I'd say Gilraen is 3, based on Lady of the lamp clue, but I know Pervinca likes Frodo.

BELL GOODCHILD: Ring it for ever, kid, for her!
FINDUILAS: Locate two subject pronouns, we hear, and send back Spanish salt for her.
3. I hear you fetch Rover, initially. Lady of the lamp? It's all confused!
ESMERALDA: Dancing girl of Notre Dame, she?
EGLANTINE: Chaucer's Prioress reincarnates in the Shire?

THEME: MOTHERS OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.

3. Gilraen?

No, Gilaren is the password. This only leaves Primula, as Legolas and Gimli's mothers were never mentioned, and Eru had no spouse.


How do we get Primula from Florence Nightingale, though?

Password: Gilraen

Unless it's R+LA+ a synonym for fetch?

BELL GOODCHILD: Ring it for ever, kid, for her!
FINDUILAS: Locate two subject pronouns, we hear, and send back Spanish salt for her.
3. I hear you fetch Rover, initially. Lady of the lamp? It's all confused!
ESMERALDA: Dancing girl of Notre Dame, she?
EGLANTINE: Chaucer's Prioress reincarnates in the Shire?

THEME: ALL KNOWN MOTHERS OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.

If I tell you that LAMP gives you 4 of the letters and LADY is the straight clue, can you work out the other elements?

In that case, Primula (LAMP+I+R+U). I from 'I', 'U' from 'you' and 'R' from 'Rover'.

BELL GOODCHILD: Ring it for ever, kid, for her!
FINDUILAS: Locate two subject pronouns, we hear, and send back Spanish salt for her.
PRIMULA: I hear you fetch Rover, initially. Lady of the lamp? It's all confused!
ESMERALDA: Dancing girl of Notre Dame, she?
EGLANTINE: Chaucer's Prioress reincarnates in the Shire?

THEME: ALL KNOWN MOTHERS OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.

PASSWORD: GILRAEN.

The floor is yours. :)

Also, although I didn't think of this when making the clue, it was said of her child that 'he [might] become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can.' So she was the lady of the lamp, in a figurative sense.

Interesting.

I am having trouble coming up with a new theme......

All right, this one will be a bit underwhelming, but will give me a bit more time.


1. He is a lord of two metals, mixed up.
2. Briefly, a gentleman returns, within Jupiter's moon, for him.
3. A confused female goat reveals her.
4. A light-conjuring spell loses direction, in a spin, for him
5. Slightly confused male deer meets a returning Elvish father, for him.

(The fourth clue contains a reference to another famous book. :p)

4. Ulmo.

Lumos - s.

3. A + NANNY would give us YAVANNA, but there's no V and one too many N's.

1. Either Ir + Mo or Na + Mo.

Try alternate spellings.

Irmo is an answer, but not to that clue.

1. He is a lord of two metals, mixed up.
2. Briefly, a gentleman returns, within Jupiter's moon, for him.
3. A confused female goat reveals her.
ULMO: A light-conjuring spell loses direction, in a spin, for him
5. Slightly confused male deer meets a returning Elvish father, for him.

2. Irmo Mr returns/backwards with Io Jupiter’s moon

Is the Password AINUR?

A: He is a lord of two metals, mixed up.
IRMO: Briefly, a gentleman returns, within Jupiter's moon, for him.
N: A confused female goat reveals her.
ULMO: A light-conjuring spell loses direction, in a spin, for him
R: Slightly confused male deer meets a returning Elvish father, for him.

1. Aulë Au is gold Li I guess is lithium? And sounding it out Aulë

Did you know that according to some sources, Turin and Nienor will be counted among the Ainur after the world is made anew?

Actually, it's AL+EU, but correct all the same


AULE: He is a lord of two metals, mixed up.
IRMO: Briefly, a gentleman returns, within Jupiter's moon, for him.
N: A confused female goat reveals her.
ULMO: A light-conjuring spell loses direction, in a spin, for him
R: Slightly confused male deer meets a returning Elvish father, for him.

That’s pretty interesting I did not know that. My Ainur knowledge is pretty limited. To the point I originally had typed it out with an S instead of an R. Which is a completely different thing

Piggybacking on Previnca female goatee are Nannies take away the s you get Nienna

AULE: He is a lord of two metals, mixed up.
IRMO: Briefly, a gentleman returns, within Jupiter's moon, for him.
NIENNA: A confused female goat reveals her.
ULMO: A light-conjuring spell loses direction, in a spin, for him
R: Slightly confused male deer meets a returning Elvish father, for him.

R = Radagast.

Adar + stag.
