Is 1 DWARROWDELF? Tolkien's preferred plural for dwarf (in English) was the archaic dwarrows/dwerrows (which I think he wrote ought to have existed, or something), and Moria was the black chasm.

Exactly that.

It could be... if this were a different puzzle.

DWARROWDELF - A proper plural and archaic form gives the black its English name.
ELVENKING'S HALLS - Named for their master in the blackened green.
LONELY MOUNTAIN - Known by where and what it is, home of gold.
4. Belted and counted; look three from the back.
IRON HILLS - Fear halved, an elementary rise for the new king.
NARGOTHROND - Elvish fire, depart! The hammer begins to be cast by the river.
GUNDABAD - Firearms - the evil in the north.

Theme: Underground realms

One to go!

Them elves and their decadent ways. Drinking at all hours.

I guess there are two letters after V.

Is it ------------ Caves?

Glittering Caves, perhaps, but how are they belted and counted?

Caves, but not the Glittering ones. One half of 'belted and counted' is a straight clue.

Not that either.

One of 'belted' and 'counted' is a clue to the realm as a, um, realm; the other is a direct clue to the name.

Then I will leave it to others.

Btw, a bit of self promotion, but no guesses for my riddle? It's easy......

I guess it must be the Thousand Caves? Regarding 'belted' ... they are also called Menegroth. Is 'Mene' belt, since I think 'Menelwhatsisface' is Orion, the constellation with the shining belt?

...

No Angband or Utumno, then?

It is the Thousand Caves, which are famously within the Girdle of Melian.

DWARROWDELF - A proper plural and archaic form gives the black its English name.
ELVENKING'S HALLS - Named for their master in the blackened green.
LONELY MOUNTAIN - Known by where and what it is, home of gold.
THOUSAND CAVES - Belted and counted; look three from the back.
IRON HILLS - Fear halved, an elementary rise for the new king.
NARGOTHROND - Elvish fire, depart! The hammer begins to be cast by the river.
GUNDABAD - Firearms - the evil in the north.

Theme: Underground realms

Mene in this case is meneg, 'thousand'; in the constellation, I think it's menel, 'heaven'.

Over to you, Pervinca.

True ... I then remembered 'O menel aglar elenath' and realised that I was talking pants.

Another interesting password, so this one might disappoint. However, if the theme is still unguessed at the end *and* I can work out the answer to Huinesoron's 'One Thing In Common' question, (highly unlikely!), I might drop the answers in there as well. As far as I am aware, and with one caveat that I will explain, I think these are the only examples pertaining to this theme.

Here we go, then:

1. French valley lingerie? No way! Mix it up for him.
2. A handle and the French one are in turmoil for her.
3. After an awful, unsung muddle, forty-nine with reveal her.
4. She sounds like a silly one, the Spanish girl.
5. Spouse around a way for him.

By the way, in my clues, from now on, sing/sang/sung can mean a note, and unsung/unsing can mean take a note away.

Nope.

I'd be pretty annoyed if someone used my ears as handles!

Apologies. I made a mistake in clue 5. Now amended, in every post it appears in.

It's Turin. I just forgot to put the password letters in.

Whoops! A typo in the R clue. Now fixed.

Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
If it was the answer, I would have said so.

Then the theme is not husband and wife?


I am confused here. There are only two relationships between Turin and Niniel: husband and wife, or brother and sister. But Finwe has no sister, thus it must be husband and wife. And only one of Finwe's wives contains R, and it's Miriel.
