2. No - not a river.
3. Yes - this place is accessible in the Third Age.
4. No. This place can be found.

7. Nope, not passed by or through by the hobbits.
I should have asked if any member of the Fellowship passed through here on their journey to Rivendell. Ah well, I'm going to take a stab with my guess for this round...
is it Tharbad? Where Boromir lost his horse on his search for Rivendell.

Is it Annuminas?
Was this place considered part of the realm of Arnor?
Is this place on the coast or does it border the ocean?
"What filled me with a barbaric joy...it was that I had been able to read the anger of the desert in the beating wings of a dragonfly."
It is not Tharbad.
It is not Annuminas.
8. I'm going to admit I struggled to find a definitive answer in the 3 texts for this game. From my research online, it appears at least part of this location was part of Arnor at some point in time.
9. Yes, this is a coastal location.
It is not Annuminas.

Would this location be on or associated with the Gulf of Lune?

Is it the Ice Bay of Forochel, in which the Palantiri of the North were lost?
Some think to be strong is to be hard like stone. Others know to be strong is to endure like stone.
Is it forochel... oh someone beat me to it
Yes, it is the Ice Bay of Forochel where both the Palantiri and King Arvedui (& crew) were lost.

Had the hunch for a bit, but with the hobbits not passing through I was quite certain. Anyway, it seems this task falls to me again. We've had who and where; let's go for what!
What am I?

You are correct, @Dwim! It is indeed the Necklace of the Dwarves.

1. Yes, it is a location in The Shire
Is it the Lockholes at Michel Delving?
Is this location in Hobbiton?
May the Horse be with you.
is it the Mathom-house at Michel Delving? Where hobbits put items they don't have much use for but don't want to throw away.

Is it the Stomach Of Michel Delving?
Is it the Scary quarries where Sharkey & Co. stored their loot?
Is it the locked drawer, smelling of mothballs, where Bilbo stored his old cloak and hood?
"What filled me with a barbaric joy...it was that I had been able to read the anger of the desert in the beating wings of a dragonfly."
Well, that's a lot of guesses. But the only correct guess is the Lockholes. They were previously used as storage-tunnels before becoming a prison.
I would have to say that could be a record!
I'll have to tighten my clues up...
@Ta'leus Shieldsong, your turn

As soon as you said Shire @Dwim, my mind immediately went to Michel Delving. I was debating the Mathom-House vs. the Lockholes, but I went with my gut since the Lockholes were mostly storage before. Haha.
Alrighty folks, a new one for you! I really hope this one stumps people.
What am I?
Clue: Noldor

@Dwim I didn't realize the hobbits had so many storage places.

@Boromir88 is it not specifically a weapon, no.
@Dwarrow Elf it is not the Feanorian Lamps.
@Dwarrow Elf it is not the Feanorian Lamps.
Was this object made by Feanor?
"What filled me with a barbaric joy...it was that I had been able to read the anger of the desert in the beating wings of a dragonfly."
@Aerlinn, It was not made by Feanor.
I will give y'all a hint and say it is a very niche object.
