1. Your, we hear, inside an element. For him.
RIAN: Troubled precipitation reveals her. 3. Noah's son returns. A broken reward and a direction lead to her. 4. Behold, a stern and troubled man! 5. Gaseous mixture meets a place he lives in. Twist it to find him. 6. A star loses Cobb. Add a Roman 1000 and a broken round ball for him

I think we might need a hint or two, Urwen.
It looks like 3 should start with MAH or MEHS, but I can't find any female Tolkien name that does.

Oh, it doesn't start with that. It's inside. Also, it's kinda mixed.

Did somebody say "element"?!
#1 could be Tin + UR, to give TURIN. hS

Stern could mean stern of a ship (poop, rear).
I think the behold one is Lopoop the troubled.

Well, I did think Gollum as a man was stretching it a little, but he did start out as a variant of a man.
I think I might be IORHAEL, but ... hang on ... it doesn't need to contain smoke, fire or farts. Let's see ... HOLE I R A Ah. It isn't a load of gases plus HOLE, because the H and the O are needed in HOLE. It's HOLE + AIR. And it *is* IORHAEL.

Can think of tragic candidates, but none that have the cryptic elements.

Okay, going through a list of people I know you like, I got to Ar-Zimraphel as a candidate that could potentially satisfy the cryptic elements. HAM + PRIZE make up most of the name, but the remaining ARL don't fit into "a direction". Dunno.

Well, A could be 'keep one of the indefinite articles from the clue.'

Good stuff!
Here we go again, then: 1. Some love departs from the sea-kings’ city, It’s certainly left in turbulence by this. (3) 2. Pain without silence, directed to the centre of hell! Now see it! (4) 3. Alternatively, Cynewulf’s poem will lead you to it. (3) 4. Stuff quaffed in Whitby? A secondary change will reveal it. (4)

It has the second element of something that's very Tolkieny.

Not 'The Dream Of The Rood.' Authorship for that has only been suggested.

1. Some love departs from the south kingdom. It’s certainly left in turbulence by this. (3)
2. Pain without silence, directed to the centre of hell! Now see it! (4) ORCRIST: Alternatively, Cynewulf’s poem will lead you to it. (3) 4. Stuff quaffed in Whitby? A secondary change will reveal it. (4) I believe it's spelled 'Crist.'

It's called 'sea-kings' city' in a song.

Well, it points to Minas Tirith, but then where does 'some love' factor in?

Think of tennis.
... So sorry. I meant the country, not the city. Have amended the clue.
