fall of gondolin

I was watching a youtube channel about this topic, and the author gives an interesting comment that I hadn't thought about. We know that the Fall of Gondolin was the first story of the Legendarium that Tolkien wrote, somewhere around 1917. The only full account of it is the original story, and...

This is a fan song made by LyraofBeleriand, posted on YouTube. It is based on the fall of Gondolin, and Idril and Maeglin are singing. It is very well made, I like listening to it.

Hello all, I have a question about the content for Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin, as published in The Unfinished Tales, compared to the corresponding reprinted inclusion in the book The Fall of Gondolin. Are they the same? Exactly? Or are there omissions between one or the other version...

Yes, as we already knew that all military strength(personnel, assets, etc) and economic power(craftsman, etc) of the Free People were done, yet some more faction was still there-Galadriel, Melian, luthien and so on, yeah, among these so-called "left-over" powers, only the personal combat power...

What do you think?

Discussion regarding The Fall of Gondolin. The Fall of Gondolin is one of the original Lost Tales which formed the basis for a section in his later work, The Silmarillion.

OK - I'm slacking... I don't have either of these yet, and haven't read them. But I'll probably put them on a suggestion list for Christmas gifts. Around here - there's already a forum for "Children of Hurin" - and to me, these books seem most in the same class. Should each get its own forum...

I've received my copy, thanks to Barliman. I haven't had time for a complete read-through, but a couple of first impressions: Same size and basic format as the previous two. Like Beren and Luthien, a compilation of texts, rather than a continuous narrative like The Children of Hurin. The Alan...

And the third book is coming out in August 2018. Lookimg forward to The Fall Of Gondolin! It was one of my favourite stories in The Silmarillion.

In the original story Tuor made his way through the Golden Cleft to the sea. He then grew weary of the sea and guided by the Noldoli's blue lanterns he found a way beside the river border until the voice of the sea was far behind him. Thus he came soon to that region that has been called...

Narn e·Dant Gondolin ar Orthad en·Êl This story deals mostly with Tuor son of Huor. It begins as Tuor is raised by Elves (Grey-Elves, Annael). Unfortunately for Tuor, he was captured by the Easterlings and made a slave. The good thing is that Tuor handled that situation elegantly and became...

Forgive me if this has been answered before. IS Legolas Greenleaf of the Tree, the night-sighted leader at the end of the Fall of Gondolin, the same as the Legolas Greenleaf of LOTR? If he is, he would be at least 6000 years old during LOTR, since that LOTR is in the Third Age, and the FOG...
