turgon

  1. Is Turgon related to Thingol?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the Silmarillion mentions Thingol and Turgon as being brothers? However, when I look at family trees they seem to be related only by the marriage of Elwing and Earendil, so I'm not really sure what to think...
  2. Did turgon fight in dagor aglareb and ⚔️battle of lammoth?

    it says in my language middle earth wiki that turgon is one of the dagor aglareb commanders.Is it true? Was there in the turgon dagor aglareb and battle of lammoth?
  3. Did ecthelion follow the turgon's army?

    did ecthelion follow the army of the turgon like glorfindel? Was he part of the turgon's army with glorfindel?

    Why did Turgon's disappearance not cause a search?

    If Turgon told no one about his company going to Gondolin, or about Gondolin itself, why is no one actively searching for him when he and his entire group of followers disappear? Or, is there any reference to him telling anyone that he was leaving, but would not disclose where to?

    The Death Of Turgon

    Does anyone have details on Turgon's death? I know he died in Gondolin but I seem to vaguely remember he was slain by a Balrog.
  6. Related to Turgon?

    The following point is taken from another post I made some time ago, regarding Voronwë and how he could be related to Turgon, as he claims he is, but it was only a small point in a much larger thread and wasn't discussed in depth, though it would be nice to see what people think about it...
  7. The most effective instrument of Ulmo, Finrod or Turgon?

    The Silmarillion: Of the Return of the Noldor Considering their future kingdoms, and the people that they gathered to themselves. Who was the more effective instrument of Ulmo, in the war against Morgoth, Finrod or Turgon? Another topic from the Debate-Tournament. Enjoy:)
  8. Turgon/Fingolfin confusion in Last Writings

    From Last Writings in HoME XII: It seems here that 'Turgon' is correct. Little later in the essay: Seems here Turgon is really ment too, but a look at note 9 confuses things: This sounds like Fingolfin (but there is one small detail which I question). This is what CT says about...

    Should Turgon have stayed in Vinyamar?

    Would Turgon have been better off staying in Vinyamar?
  10. 🧝Fingon and Turgon guilty of the Kinslaying?

    Ahh! If a moderator sees this anytime soon, will you make the title more fitting? In HoME X, Annals of Aman:"Moreover Fingon and Turgon were bold and fiery of heart and loath to abandon any task to which they had put their hands until the bitter end, if bitter it must be." From HoME X, in...
  11. Turgon & Finrod's dreams

    Was it perhaps a small error on the parts of Finrod and Turgon that they each believed Ulmo had sent a message to him alone and therefore said nothing to the other?
  12. Turgon's ships

    What happened to the other six ships that Turgon had Cirdan build? Did they make it to the West? Obviously, they did not drown in a storm or something, but does it say anywhere what happened to them?
  13. Turgon's Folly

    Could the Ñoldor of Turgon had been saved? I have always thought that Turgon messed up big time by not following the advice of Tuor/Ulmo, but can we really blame him? Why did Turgon became proud and refused the aid of Ulmo? From the Published Silmarillion : Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin...
  14. Turgon Inspired Challange

    Since the Lord Turgon's theory concerning Feanor and Hamlet is such a striking and radical concept. I decided to ask people to expand the scope. The challange put before you all is, to list major similarities between Tolkienian* and Shakespearean characters. * is that a word? Just a...
  15. Turgon's Messengers

    What exactly had Turgon in mind when he sent these seven ships out into the west? Was he seeking aid from the Valar, or from those who had remained after the exile? What hope did he feel lay in the west? If this was the case and he was seeking help, why then did he refuse to listen to the...
