2. Eomer
5. Nywoe
8. Amras

8. Rammas Echor.

6. Merry, as he didn't see who Dernhelm was?

Just so we can see the clues:

4. Immortality?

3. Helm?

1. In Latin, around a short girl is half a man.
2. EOMER: King Homer is off tune.
3. Ruler of protective building.
4. Like Voldemort's claim to fame, except for the good guys.
5. White lady looks in the mirror.
6. Didn't recognize #5.
7. Always tells the truth? No, that's not what it means...
8. RAMMAS ECHOR: Ram echo on Mars - with a bit of confusion all around.



No to the rest.
#4 is something more specific than a... quality? description?
#6: Not Merry, but your thinking is correct.


Urwen, who is Nywoe?

Eowyn backwards (mirrored).

Ooooh! Whoops, my bad. I was looking for Eowyn and didn't clue in. I am clearly not on top of things the last few days. :o

Is 4 Gandalf?

6. Well, the Witch-King didn't recognise Eowyn either, I suppose.

No, it is not.

So close. But not the response that is needed for the password.

4. Wizardry?

6. Nazgul, or Ringwraith, or Lord of the Nazgul?

Pelennor? (Password).

1. P: In Latin, around a short girl is half a man.

#4 is not a quality. It's a claim that Voldemort spreads about, which is similar to the claim a good character makes. It's a claim that brings them both to their respective "fame". The one you need for the password is the Tolkien analogue.

If that one doesn't click, try the other clues first. There are easier ones lying around, I think.

1. PUKEL ... is it part of APUD and a short version of KELLY?

No.

Ah.

PERIAN?

Indeed.



1. PERIAN: In Latin, around a short girl is half a man.
2. EOMER: King Homer is off tune.
3. L: Ruler of protective building.
4. E: Like Voldemort's claim to fame, except for the good guys.

I see ERIN, but not the rest.

Latin for in is IN.

Latin for around is CIRCUM, although I think I came across APUD for one of them.

There's PEN, but I thought that meant 'almost.'

It was intended to be PERI (prefix meaning, around, nearby, surrounding) + AN[N]. Did I get it wrong?

No, you just know much more Latin than me. ;)

I'd like to say Voldy liked the Beatles and went around singing 'I am the EGGMAN,' but I think that's apocryphal.

He claimed to be an HEIR, as did Aragorn, but that only works as a 'sounds like.'

Voldy ... Heir of Slytherin?

ELESSAR ... Heir of Isildur?

Nah, I just encounter a certain subset of Latin vocabulary much more often. Pericardium, periosteum, perimysium, perichondrium... Or locations: perihilar, periodontal. I see a lot of "peri" and no "apud". :)

Perfect logic. I'll give you the wording. :)

Imagine if Aragorn went around painting messages about the Heir of Isildur (and Elendil) on Rivendell walls... :D



1. PERIAN: In Latin, around a short girl is half a man.
2. EOMER: King Homer is off tune.
3. L: Ruler of protective building.
4. ELENDIL'S HEIR: Like Voldemort's claim to fame, except for the good guys.
5. NYWOE: White lady looks in the mirror.
6. Nazgul: Didn't recognize #5.
7. O: Always tells the truth? No, that's not what it means...
8. RAMMAS ECHOR: Ram echo on Mars - with a bit of confusion all around.

I thought of Elendil, but Isildur's Heir seems to appear more in the text ... or does it?

I wonder if L is LORD of something.

It does. I initially wanted to reference Aragorn's banner, which was referred to as Elendil's sign, but thought that wasn't specific enough for a clue. So it morphed into Elendil's heir. Which I guess isn't much better because Aragorn is more commonly referred to as Isildur's heir. *sigh*

Good thought.

I can't think of what, though.

7. Oathbreaker(s)?

Not Oathbreakers.

Well, it's related to the theme. That should narrow things down.

Lord of Minas Morgul?

Imrahil is a Prince, and not connected with a building. Denethor is, but he's not at Pelennor, and buildings in Rohan I think are all ruled by the King.

I don't think Faramir is Lord of Osgiliath, but I could be wrong.

I think the Houses of Healing have a Warden.

I first thought Lord of Lossarnach, probably because I was looking for L's, but I think that's just a region.

Theoden is Lord of the Mark, but that's a country.

7. Oliphaunt. ('I never lie.')

Wasn't Denethor technically commanding at the Pelennor, at least in part? Lord of the Tower of Guard would work for 'protective building' (or Lord of Minas Tirith if you prefer the Elvish).

hS

1. PERIAN: In Latin, around a short girl is half a man.
2. EOMER: King Homer is off tune.
3. LORD OF MINAS TIRITH: Ruler of protective building.
4. ELENDIL'S HEIR: Like Voldemort's claim to fame, except for the good guys.
5. NYWOE: White lady looks in the mirror.
6. NAZGUL: Didn't recognize #5.
7. OLIPHAUNT: Always tells the truth? No, that's not what it means...
8. RAMMAS ECHOR: Ram echo on Mars - with a bit of confusion all around.


Yay!

Denethor is the commander of the Minas Tirith forces, and technically remains so even when Imrahil and Gandalf take over. During the Battle of Pelennor fields specifically, he is notable in his absence as he was busy committing suicide. But his men continue to fight.


Over to Pervinca!

And I guess 'I never lie' is ambiguous - hence 'that's not what it means' for the Oliphaunt clue.

Nice password, G55!
