With Nargothrond and Doriath both having fallen, and the Sons of Fëanor reduced to wretchedness, only Gondolin remains of the great Elven realms. But how long will Gondolin remain hidden, and, if it is discovered, can it withstand the onslaught of Angband’s fury?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from The Silmarillion Chapter 20...

The field was lost; but still Húrin and Huor and the remnant of the house of Haldor stood firm with Turgon of Gondolin, and the hosts of Morgoth could not yet win the Pass of Sirion. Then Húrin spoke to Turgon, saying: ‘Go now, lord, while time is! For in you lives the last hope of the Eldar, and while Gondolin stands Morgoth shall still know fear in his heart.’

But Turgon answered: ‘Not long now can Gondolin be hidden; and being discovered it must fall.’

Then Huor spoke and said: ‘Yet if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and Men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!’
