To clarify, you interpret this to mean that after using the Light of the Stars ability, the Lamp of the Far Traveller can only be re-lit at the cost of 1 Hope for the rest of the Adventure? However, if you only use Blazing Elf-lights, or the regular flare ability from the Core Rules, you can relight the Lamp for free?
I can't give a definitive answer, but I think that yes, if you use Light of the Stars, it costs 1 Hope to re-light your lamp (the rest of the adventure). Essentially, Light of the Stars costs not just 1 Hope to use, but 1 Hope and the loss of your lamp for an adventure, OR 2 Hope (to use, then re-light). After you've re-lighted the lamp, I would assume that if you snuff it out, flare it, using Blazing lights, then it would be free to re-light.

That's my reading. They just wanted to prevent players from over using that powerful ability. Gareth might be able to give a more definitive answer if he sees this.

Can Rivendell Elves study with Ormal? Particularly if they've got Artificer?

Yeah - using Lamp of the Stars "burns out" the magic of Lamp of the Far Traveller.

I'd let Rivendell elves study with Ormal if they make the journey east.
