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. )

Back to your puzzle.
Bean = Sean Bean = Ned Stark. There is no location with 'neck' in its name, otherwise it would have been perfect.....

Close enough. Actually because Beorn is cognate with Bjorn, as in Bjorn Borg.
