Actually I meant that guess for #4. Sorry, I have to be more careful. []

As for #2 - Lorellin? (A place of rest?)

Oooooh! Very close then for #4. I'm looking for a direct translation.

[] for #2. If I capitalized a couple of letters, would that help? []

2. Where an old man would have felt at home.
3. Hobbit Higher Learning. Yale
4. Home, for awhile, to the Faithful. Echad i Sedryn
5. A well that became a flood, according to some. Anduin
6. Bore a ring bearer twice. Dori
7. Lo! A long time... Loa
8. Ancient crossing. Iant Iaur
9. Wedded a strong groom at a spring time feast! Nessa
10. Heir of the Wise. Orodreth
11. Unlike our Maha, he didn't win.
12. Threatened others with Indiana Jones worst nightmare. Great Goblin
13. Reluctant witness, though definitely not hostile. Nellas

Camp of the Faithful! Correct!

I think that was my best singollo to date. []

I think we should start referring to these as thingols: like a singollo but with added smugness.

See my edit. []

For some reason I just remembered smugging from "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".

E: Re #10 - People called "the Wise": Nerdanel, Finrod, Turgon, Celeborn, the White Council, the elves (by men) . . .

One of those more than others. []

Great Goblin is indeed correct... he threatened Thorin & Co with a pit full of snakes. [] Eeeeek...

E: Oh... and WT has guessed the password correctly. []

Indeed... []

Finrod was called Nómin(The Wise) by the Men of Bëor.

Three to go... and one of them is a lame attempt at a scramble. []

A hint for #2 before I leave for work... I'm talking about a specific old man. []

Well, Anduin then (#5)

E: And I think the old man (#2) is Théoden and thus the place he would have felt at home is The Shire.

Ah, that's a nice passage. []

I don't think that can be right though, because it doesn't fit the Password. []

Anduin is correct... Langwell became the Langflood in the language of the Éothéod. []

Wrong old man. []

Except for the fact that it doesn't fit with the Password, I'd guess Mauhur for #11 - close to a scramble of "our Maha", and he certainly didn't win.

#2 Hobbiton?

Minus "our" and you get...?

It was a real lame attempt at a scramble like I said. I made the puzzle in about half an hour, mostly from memory. []

E: Not Hobbiton, wrong old man again. You're gonna kill me when you see the answer... it's staring at you. []

Hama. A legitimate scramble.

E: Especially since you bolded the relevant word. []

[] Yeah... I thought putting it in bold would give it away. []

E: For #2, I'm talking about the most famous old man in Middle-earth. []

Doh! Stupid scrambles. I said Maglor because I was going with the whole "bard" thing, though I guess technically Maha isn't a Spoony Bard anymore. []

Really? What about Gandalf? []

As I still haven't worked out the Password, I can't guess the last letter.

The Grey Havens?

OK, Gandalf.

The Password is Annon-in-Gelydh, so the last one should begin with "N".

I think.
