Description
The Fall of Gondolin is a tale of epic fantasy that pits two of the greatest powers in the world against each other. Morgoth, the embodiment of uttermost evil, seeks to conquer the beautifully hidden city of Gondolin, while Ulmo, second in might to Manwë, chief of the Valar, strives to protect it. At the heart of this struggle is the city itself, built by the Noldorin Elves who rebelled against their rule in Valinor. Turgon, the King of Gondolin, is feared by all his enemies, and his city remains undiscoverable. Against this backdrop, Tuor, a young man with a crucial role to play in the fate of Gondolin, sets out on a perilous journey to the city. Guided by the sea-god Ulmo, Tuor becomes embroiled in the conflict between Morgoth and the Valar, and ultimately, the city falls to the forces of darkness. The tale ends with the devastating consequences of the fall of Gondolin, as Tuor and Idril, his wife, flee with their young son Eärendel, leaving behind the ruins of their city.
