It is not. I think the straight clue is pretty direct here, and it's a major chunk of NoME (though I know that doesn't help much).

New page:

NUMENOR - The numinous root, otherwise known as a gift.
AROMA - Perfume from one Italian city.
3. T - Chronic rails, year by year.
UNBEGOTTEN - A French one, conceived by the first to rise.
RADAGAST - Not grey... not gray, a German guest.
ELLIPSE - In the round, Hell ends, and I am retro-telepathy.
ORIGINS - Let's begin: Oh, snigger backwards, but with me instead of the example.
FEAR - Spiritually scary.
MELIAN - The queen's scrambled citrus - o! Change it for two others.
ENTERTAINMENT - Go in, men in the corruption, and enjoy it.

Precisely! The first third of NoME is basically all timelines.

NUMENOR - The numinous root, otherwise known as a gift.
AROMA - Perfume from one Italian city.
TIMELINES - Chronic rails, year by year.
UNBEGOTTEN - A French one, conceived by the first to rise.
RADAGAST - Not grey... not gray, a German guest.
ELLIPSE - In the round, Hell ends, and I am retro-telepathy.
ORIGINS - Let's begin: Oh, snigger backwards, but with me instead of the example.
FEAR - Spiritually scary.
MELIAN - The queen's scrambled citrus - o! Change it for two others.

Very good password, hS, and very topical!

Here's one I made earlier:

1. Two French determiners add five for the life of him, but get her instead.
2. Destroy portal – destroy it all! Sauron would have, if he’d thought of it!
3. See him claim a glory within it.
4. See him lambast, then lose his way in the confusion of making something soapy.
5. Loan offal (for a feast?) around here?
6. Is David’s enemy just slightly confused here?
7. Additional potassium mixes with a little lithium before he’s revealed.
8. Latin hurrah meets Bible girl bereft of alternating current to reveal him.
9. See him change direction on the way to Damascus – onerously, for a while.
10. Behold! Tear! Reassemble him!
11. Here, it’s broad and troubled around a London suburb.

Ruin that door, Sauron, yer pillock!

Urwen 09-13-2021 10:01 AM

6. And this one is Osgiliath. I recall you used the same trick once...

Galadriel55 09-13-2021 10:52 AM

I wonder if 7 is MELKOR. MORE + K + L(i... or ithium, I suppose).

Both correct. :)

Urwen 09-20-2021 08:58 AM

Uh, some help? :D

Pervinca Took 09-20-2021 10:19 AM

Try 3. Just read it. It's easy.

10. 2 synonyms, then scramble them.

Urwen 09-20-2021 10:22 AM

3. Maglor?

Urwen 09-20-2021 10:28 AM

10. Elrohir?

No to 10. What were your two synonyms?

Urwen 09-20-2021 01:17 PM

Lo and hie

LO is correct. Hie isn't.

5 is another where you take 2 synonyms and scramble them.

Urwen 09-20-2021 03:40 PM

Lo+run?

No, it's the literal meaning of tear, as in rip, (but not rip).

Urwen 09-21-2021 05:08 AM

Lo+shred?

Urwen 09-21-2021 05:11 AM

Or Lo+rend? I think this is more likely...

Urwen 09-21-2021 05:14 AM

Elrond?

Urwen 09-21-2021 05:45 AM

Closest I can get for 1 is Lalaith (La+la+???)

Urwen 09-21-2021 05:48 AM

Oh, wait.

Life of him = Life of Brian

So Ce+le+brian

Still haven't managed to find anything for 5, though...

Urwen 09-21-2021 06:30 AM

Also, 8.

Rachel - ac + Io?

Yes, but spelled RACHAEL.

Last D is Dwimordene (WIDE+MORDEN)

Urwen 09-21-2021 02:44 PM

And S is Sauron :D

Pervinca Took 09-21-2021 02:56 PM

Yeah.

Urwen 09-21-2021 03:03 PM

Two left...the hardest two...

Urwen 09-22-2021 03:25 AM

Could R be Rivendell?

Huinesoron 09-22-2021 04:26 AM

P could be Panthael - Pan = lambast (as in a review), and thael is lather - R.

Pervinca Took 09-22-2021 06:27 AM

It's a wrap!
 
CELEBRIAN: Two French determiners add five for the life of him, but get her instead.
ORODRUIN: Destroy portal – destroy it all! Sauron would have, if he’d thought of it!
MAGLOR: See him claim a glory within it.
PANTHAEL: See him lambast, then lose his way in the confusion of making something soapy.
RIVENDELL: Loan offal (for a feast?) around here?
OSGILIATH: Is David’s enemy just slightly confused here?
MELKOR: Additional potassium mixes with a little lithium before he’s revealed.
IORHAEL: Latin hurrah meets Bible girl bereft of alternating current to reveal him.
SAURON: See him change direction on the way to Damascus – onerously, for a while.
ELROND: Behold! Tear! Reassemble him!
DWIMORDENE: Here, it’s broad and troubled around a London suburb.

RIVENDELL is LOAN LIVER.

SAURON = SAUL - L + ON(EROUSLY).

Perfect reasoning for DWIMORDENE and PANTHAEL.

All compromised in some way, I trust you'll agree.

And over to Urwen!

Urwen 09-22-2021 10:37 AM

1. Your, we hear, inside an element. For him.
2. Troubled precipitation reveals her.
3. Noah's son returns. A broken reward and a direction lead to her.
4. Behold, a stern and troubled man!
5. Gaseous mixture meets a place he lives in. Twist it to find him.
6. A star loses Cobb. Add a Roman 1000 and a broken round ball for him
