The first rider, we know, is one that must fast,
His lore less arcane than wizards forbode,
His might, as if Denethor on Gil-galad rode.

Password: SOLMATH (guessed by The Saucepan Man)

Hints
 

#3 - scramble two words into three.

#5 - one clue in each line; all point to the same person.

COuld #5 be Orome?

Not Oromë.

Remember that all the clues are "cryptic", and in this case all 4 are of the same type.

3. Laer Cú Beleg, Turin's song to Beleg after he killed him (anagram of "glee curable").

Correct! :)

Just #5 to go. The 4 clues are right in there. ;)

Aragorn! There are names for him in all the lines (Estel, Strider, Elessar, Thorongil)! Now I feel really smart! :D

Excellent job, NightKnight.

The Saucepan Man is up next. http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

*dons Cryptic armour*
 

I'm ready!

I just noticed this - Saucepan's answer to #2 on the previous page (Rohan’s old one got confused, and became an enigma by another name): Actually, the answer was much simpler: I was thinking of Aldor (the Old) of Rohan, an anagram of Orald.

The Saucepan Man took a roundabout route but still got the answer. :)

*poke*
 

Uh, Sauce?

*prod*
 

And up we go...

Oh dear - two reminders already!
 

Sorry for the delay folks.

Here's a puzzle in the classic Password mould. All the clues are cryptic.

1. Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath?
2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city.
3. Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site.
4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river.
5. Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south.
6. Middle-earth’s cyberspace?

#4 Kiril? I'm thinking of Kiri te Kanawa.

No, but you're on the right track.

6) Seeing Stones?

4. Ringlo? Ringo takes in L (first letter of Light).

Nope.

Yep.

Peking?
 

1) Kings under the Mountain?
*shoots wildly into the dark

6. Middle-earth’s cyberspace?
 

Toerch Ungol? Ered Gorgoroth?

5) Easterlings?

Sorry. None of those are correct. :p ;)

#2 Armenelos (an anagram of are solemn)?

Spot on! :)

Could #5 be smial?

'Fraid not.

How 'bout Incanus, then? (Suni engulfing Can.)

Ekkaia for number 6?

Is the password FAERIE?

Fror (slain by a cold drake near the W.H.) for number !?

Sauron?
 

3) Undeeps, area south of the Brown Lands?

Incanus it is
 

Well, I had Sunni engulfing Ca (California) and then reversed, but your reasoning is much the same and produces the same result - which is of course correct.

Alas, Ekkaia is not (although I suspect that you are thinking along the right lines).

For ease of reference, I'm repeating the clues, with solutions to date, here:

1. Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath?
2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city.
3. Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site.
4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river.
5. Incanus: Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south.
6. Middle-earth’s cyberspace?

Edit: FAERIE is indeed the Password. Well done Turambar! :)

But neither fror nor Undeeps are correct. Then again, Turambar is getting very warm with his reasoning for #1.

ether and Ring?
 

6) Ethring?

Turambar! summa cum laude as usual! :D

Nope.

1) Fram, the worm-slayer/hoard-winner?
3) Entwood? (secretly prefers R-Chet/Archet, but for the beginning letter)

Encircling Sea for #6?

No more correct answers to add, I'm afraid.

Some hints:

#1 Turambar has already mentioned part of the answer in explaining the reasoning behind one of his answers.

#3 The word "centre" is an important part of this clue.

#6 What sort of space might an e-mail be sent from, to or through?

D'oh! I couldn't figure out why duck was in there (#1).

"Roast duck" = FIRE DRAKE. Absurdly simple, like most riddles, when you see the answer.

#3 still has me mystified. Thinking "aloud": The real Chetwood has no centre that I know of. Is the cryptic centre "TW" or "ETWO"? You can get ENTWOOD (an ancient and mysterious place, beginning with "E") from the latter by adding NOD, but how does this relate to "revere"?

Possibly silly guess for #6: Emyn Muil? (E-muil) :p

Keep going ...
 

But of course! :D

1. Fire-Drake: Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath?
2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city.
3. Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site.
4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river.
5. Incanus: Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south.
6. Middle-earth’s cyberspace?

#3 You are on the right track, but need to expand your search beyond Chetwood.

#6 Again, you are thinking along the right lines, but look back at my previous hint.

*thinking aloud for #3* I see the word "two" in the middle of "Chetwood's".

3)Enyd?

6) East-West Road? (The Great East-West Road)

Sorry. Neither of those is correct, Celebrian.

How about Eregion (e-region)?

And #3 is Erech - an embedded answer.

Quite so
 

Correct again, Turambar, on both counts.

1. Fire-Drake: Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath?
2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city.
3. Erech: Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site.
4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river.
5. Incanus: Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south.
6. Eregion: Middle-earth’s cyberspace?

You are up next. :)
