Is the password an elvish phrase meaning ENEMIES OF MORGOTH?
NOTTO can mean enemy. Something ending in MORGOTH, anyway. |

It is an Elvish phrase, but it doesn't mean that. |

Well, Turin isn't exactly a reliable source...

#9: First thought was Anarion, but then I remembered Turin's buddy who got unceremoniously clonked over the head while stalking Glaurung. A quick look in CoH shows me he's HUNTHOR, ie Hun[s] + Thor.

So, uh, you need some help?
|
Looks like it.
|
Well, some books have more than one name. That is your password hint, and when you solve the password, solving the rest of the clues will be easier.
|
Well, 'Morgoth's Ring' is like another version of 'The Silmarillion.' I can't find a way to translate that kind of ring and fit it into the password, though. More of a job for Huey, perhaps?
|
Nope, not that book. There are two other books featuring all the character's you've guessed so far...
|
Maybe the theme is the CURSE of Morgoth.
I think they're probably all in the NARN. |
Good. Now, what's the elvish word for curse?
|
Huta or racco.

There as at least one more, according to TG... |

Anyway, yes, apparently the Narn is also known as the Narn e-'Rach Morgoth, or Tale of the Curse of Morgoth. So... #4, I think 'returning' tells us that we need the final letter, and Morwe [the male Avarin leader] + N[orth] = MORWEN. ... except we've... already got Morwen. Um. Is 'Salle' a male name, to give NELLAS? hS |
How about S + ALLEN?

#6: Very embarassed not to remember what goes on and on... SADOR. #2: I was wracking my brains for way to get Finduilas from this, but totally forgot Turin's... aunt? Cousin? One of those. AERIN basically starts with 'air', though I can't make either IN or (rearranged) EN into 'right now'. hS |
I got as far as you with AERIN, but never, never thought of ROADS!

Oh ... RAGNIR from RARING?

That last R...
A preposition between a long and short direction. It's all in disarray, and backwards. For him. 'backwards' suggests the R is the final letter. I think it likely that the R is the 'short direction' - I can't easily come up with either prepositions or directions which include the letter! I think the structure is [direction written in full] + [preposition] + R, with a bit of scrambling between the two words. But I haven't been able to come up with a name that fits. hS |
Tried NE and SE and ON to no avail.
Maybe the longer direction is an order. Something like GO or DO. |
Nope.
