Hints
#3 - scramble two words into three.
#5 - one clue in each line; all point to the same person.

Not Oromë.
Remember that all the clues are "cryptic", and in this case all 4 are of the same type.

Aragorn! There are names for him in all the lines (Estel, Strider, Elessar, Thorongil)! Now I feel really smart!

I just noticed this - Saucepan's answer to #2 on the previous page (Rohan’s old one got confused, and became an enigma by another name):

Oh dear - two reminders already!
Sorry for the delay folks.
Here's a puzzle in the classic Password mould. All the clues are cryptic. 1. Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath? 2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city. 3. Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site. 4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river. 5. Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south. 6. Middle-earth’s cyberspace?

How 'bout Incanus, then? (Suni engulfing Can.)
Ekkaia for number 6? Is the password FAERIE? Fror (slain by a cold drake near the W.H.) for number !?

Incanus it is
Quote:
Alas, Ekkaia is not (although I suspect that you are thinking along the right lines). For ease of reference, I'm repeating the clues, with solutions to date, here: 1. Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath? 2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city. 3. Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site. 4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river. 5. Incanus: Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south. 6. Middle-earth’s cyberspace? Edit: FAERIE is indeed the Password. Well done Turambar! But neither fror nor Undeeps are correct. Then again, Turambar is getting very warm with his reasoning for #1.

1) Fram, the worm-slayer/hoard-winner?

No more correct answers to add, I'm afraid.
Some hints: #1 Turambar has already mentioned part of the answer in explaining the reasoning behind one of his answers. #3 The word "centre" is an important part of this clue. #6 What sort of space might an e-mail be sent from, to or through?

D'oh! I couldn't figure out why duck was in there (#1).
"Roast duck" = FIRE DRAKE. Absurdly simple, like most riddles, when you see the answer. #3 still has me mystified. Thinking "aloud": The real Chetwood has no centre that I know of. Is the cryptic centre "TW" or "ETWO"? You can get ENTWOOD (an ancient and mysterious place, beginning with "E") from the latter by adding NOD, but how does this relate to "revere"? Possibly silly guess for #6: Emyn Muil? (E-muil)

*thinking aloud for #3* I see the word "two" in the middle of "Chetwood's".

How about Eregion (e-region)?
And #3 is Erech - an embedded answer.

Quite so
Correct again, Turambar, on both counts.
1. Fire-Drake: Roast duck on the menu at the Withered Heath? 2. Armenelos: Reforms are solemn for royal city. 3. Erech: Revere Chetwood's centre as an ancient and mysterious site. 4. Ringlo: Musician takes in first light at river. 5. Incanus: Branch of religion returned engulfing State in the south. 6. Eregion: Middle-earth’s cyberspace? You are up next.
