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. )

TURGON: A measure swallows a spun carpet for a king
EGALMOTH: A turbulent wind and an insect reveal him
ECTHELION: Double noted, an article and an animal reveal the flutist
GALDOR: A staff is delayed, in reverse, for him
ROG: A headless amphibian reveals him
PENLOD: An ancient animal enclosure circulates for the leader of two
I: A booklet, a drink and a direction are muddled up for the slayer
MAEGLIN: An element, a note and a river fluctuate, and a miner with a broken arm is revealed

Back to your puzzle.

Bean = Sean Bean = Ned Stark.

There is no location with 'neck' in its name, otherwise it would have been perfect.....
