14. Estolad?
2. Ossiriand? Both guesses are because they sound like the phrases you used in the clues. Region (last page) guessed because a region is an area. |

1. - A dull pub between the rivers. OSSIRIAND - I say: Oh sir! I hand this damp place (to you).

ESTOLAD - He stole ads? You'd never hear it once in the camp. 15. - A scrambled article, a stick, and a singular lens got turned around in the woods. hS |
15 almost makes ELROND (rod + len) but there's no article. Is there such a place as Noreland?
|
I think the scrambled article is EGG.
EGLAROND? I don't get the LENS bit, though. |
Got it! It's NELDORETH.
LEN + ROD + THE. |

8 should be caves - Latin cautions as in cave canem but can’t think of any that fit the rest of the clue.

9. Osgiliath?
Alerted to this by the word 'capital,' but it has most of Goliath in it, (or all, with a little scrambling). |

Password guess: Northern lakes?
|
Or maybe Forests of Lorien?
(One too many letters for Lakes). And I think 15 has to be Neldoreth. ... 11. OLD FOREST. OLD ... FOR REST (off to bed). |
12. RATHLORIEL.
Second name of Ascar. (W)RATH plus 'law o' 'el.' |
Yikes, I go away for one day...! Let's see then:

Two of the remaining clues use (and state that they use) the second letter of the answer. Other than that, they're all initials. hS |
North to Lorien?

Forests to Lorien?

Then what is it?! I've searched everything and am drawing a blank. I thought of Moria to Lothlorien and journey to Lorien, but none of those fit either.
|
Border to Lorien, maybe?

Osgiliath was Gondor's original capital ... I *was* using 'capital' as the straight clue. ;)
Clearly not the right answer, though. No other capitals seemed to work ... Caras Galadhon? Tirion? Is Avallone the capital of Tol Eressea? Maybe it's the kind of capital that means money. Or great ('a capital fellow.') |

Maybe some hints? :confused:
|
Borgia are the first Italian nobles that come to mind....

Ah, maybe the Italian word for dukes or earls, then. ;)
... LINDON. 'A little later' means it's the 'I' (for igloo) that counts. 'LINE' shortened, plus DON. And Lindon has a shoreline. |
'Doriath to Lorien' for the password, perhaps?

1. DIMBAR? If that's between two rivers.
DIM + BAR. |

Ah - I didn't see the smaller map in the corner (have only seen the link on my phone) so was originally expecting all Third Age answers.
You mean you can pinpoint exactly where Third Age places are on a First Age map, and vice versa? |
Is A the long elvish name for ATHELAS (ASEA ARANION - aranion is a little bit like Eregion = Hollin) - or maybe ATHELAS itself?
|
H might be Hobbiton Ho! Could be a greeting, A metric tonne I think is a thousand kilos and hobbits and rabbits are basically the same thing :Merisu:
|
I wonder if T is a river in the sense of 'riving' something in two or destroying it.
Because neither Teiglin/Taeglin, Thalos nor Thistle Brook seem to contain any of the cryptic elements of the clue. Plus 'river' sounds a bit too easy. Not sure anyone has ever written it that straight in a clue ... usually if someone is indicating that the answer is a river, they will say flower / it flows / say it's damp / etc. |
That made me wonder about Tharbad where5he bridge was broken but 5hat doesn’t work either that I can tell.
|
TAEGLIN has 5 letters of GAUNTLET, but big and purple??
I suppose a mountain head could be big and purple, as in the famous hymn. (Remembers a Spitting Image sketch with puppets of the Rev Robert Runcie and Mary Whitehouse :o ). |
Are you thinking maybe of The Redhorn Pass then?
