Ahhhhh

Thank you Thingy for noticing the obvious that I managed to miss!

In that case, #2 is Ringil, #4 is Swords, and #8 is Wand.

Credit to Thingol of Doriath please, he pushed the first pebble.

Thanks... I guess. But how did you come to the conclusion that #2 is Ringil and #8 is Wand?

Because of what the letters spell out.

Well, I've figured out what the password itself is soon enough (before you told me what the theme was). Hence the first letters.

"No girly thing" felt like an anagram at first, but perhaps it's some sort of alliterative hint. In any case, Morgoth was never healed of the pain that Fingolfin's blade dealt him.

And the wand that was forbidden, but was present nonetheless, is Gandalf's at Meduseld. Actually it's a staff but perhaps to Hidalgo, whose mother tongue isn't English, they're the same.

Yes, yes... I get that, but I don't understand how the clues fit.

E: Ok... I get #8. But #2 is still a mystery(girly thing, etc;).

I guess we'll have to wait for Hidalgo to explain.

Oh, quit griping and go work on the real password.

Good puzzle, Hidalgo!

*BUMP*

Hidalgo has been missing in action for several weeks now. This puzzle has been solved it would seem. Shall we continue or wait until confirmation? Eith would be up, no?

Well, I am also going to stay AWOL for a while - it is the Jewish Holiday Season, and my free time is going to be very hectic this month. Besides, I am not sure I got it all right!

Eitheladar: 2 and 4 are correct, 8 isn't. It was a good guess, but I can still distinguish Harry Potter from Gandalf

.

Reposted for this page:
1: The weapon named the lord. Cúthalion.
2: No girly thing, the pain it caused was never healed. Ringil
3: This warrior took what was left. Ohtar.
4: Most of those named. Swords
5: What kind of fly had this? Sting
6: Could Odiseus have bent it? Belthronding.
7: Named after its enemies. Orcrist.
8: Forbidden, yet present.

Hint: Everybody's favourite elf (no, not you, Sinda

) is involved.

As for Ringil, Eitheladar was right, it was an anagram and a hint:

Shouldn't it be a weapon to match the overall theme of the puzzle? That's throwing me... "everybody's favorite Elf" must be Fëanor.

*Wonders why Earendil should be anyone's favourite Elf in any case*.

Well, Fëanor was forbidden but present in Tirion, after the darkening of Valinor.

Perhaps the answer is that which was his prime weapon then, words ?

Nope, it is more obvious than words .
So obvious that nobody thinks about it.
It seems I found the purloined letter...
