Yeah, each time Pervinca did one of the council ones, I was disappointed that they weren't Lords of Gondolin, so I made a puzzle for them. (And so I can make the 'one of these things is not like the others' joke. :p)

It's been a busy evening, folks, and I have to get to bed. New puzzle in the morning

Before you do, I have just one question: did you get the joke? (The one I've quoted, that is.)

1: Bean designated tenth man, cut here
2: Here you'll find the bewildered spokesman for the heads of failed enterprises. 3: Washington, Whitney and Hood got together, but it was left out 4: Here they confuse Arwen with a banker 5: Garlicky slowpoke; if you switch church leaders, you're there. 6: 3 nurses donate a user interface, but it's a mess 7: The manors of a Roman family in a noble degree 8: Cabbageville 9: Named for its leading resident, who sounds like a Borg 10: Here is a ruined bargain |

Well, he was still a Lord of Gondolin. Just the bad one. |
Back to your puzzle.
Bean = Sean Bean = Ned Stark. There is no location with 'neck' in its name, otherwise it would have been perfect..... |
10. DALE (From DEAL)

9. Beorn's Hall (Because Beorn does kinda sound like a borg)
|
Close enough. Actually because Beorn is cognate with Bjorn, as in Bjorn Borg.

I am searching for a place which begins with N and ends with D, but there are none that fit the theme |
Password is Wilderland, another name for Rhovanion. :D
