Then
the
days
of
Gondolin
were
yet
full
of
joy
and
peace
;
and
none
knew
that
the
region
wherein
the
Hidden
Kingdom
lay
had
been
at
last
revealed
to
Morgoth
by
the
cries
of
Hurin
,
when
standing
in
the
wilderness
beyond
the
Encircling
Mountains
and
finding
no
entrance
he
called
on
Turgon
in
despair
.
Thereafter
the
thought
of
Morgoth
was
bent
unceasing
on
the
mountainous
land
between
Anach
and
the
upper
waters
of
Sirion
,
whither
his
servants
had
never
passed
;
yet
still
no
spy
or
creature
out
of
Angband
could
come
there
because
of
the
vigilance
of
the
eagles
,
and
Morgoth
was
thwarted
in
the
fulfilment
of
his
designs
.
But
Idril
Celebrindal
was
wise
and
far
-
seeing
,
and
her
heart
misgave
her
,
and
foreboding
crept
upon
her
spirit
as
a
cloud
.
Therefore
in
that
time
she
let
prepare
a
secret
way
,
that
should
lead
down
from
the
city
and
passing
out
beneath
the
surface
of
the
plain
issue
far
beyond
the
walls
,
northward
of
Amon
Gwareth
;
and
she
contrived
it
that
the
work
was
known
but
to
few
,
and
no
whisper
of
it
came
to
Maeglin
’
s
ears
.
Now
on
a
time
,
when
Earendil
was
yet
young
,
Maeglin
was
lost
.
For
he
,
as
has
been
told
,
loved
mining
and
quarrying
after
metals
above
all
other
craft
;
and
he
was
master
and
leader
of
the
Elves
who
worked
in
the
mountains
distant
from
the
city
,
seeking
after
metals
for
their
smithying
of
things
both
of
peace
and
war
.
But
often
Maeglin
went
with
few
of
his
folk
beyond
the
leaguer
of
the
hills
,
and
the
King
knew
not
that
his
bidding
was
defied
;
and
thus
it
came
to
pass
,
as
fate
willed
,
that
Maeglin
was
taken
prisoner
by
Orcs
,
and
brought
to
Angband
,
Maeglin
was
no
weakling
or
craven
,
but
the
torment
wherewith
he
was
threatened
cowed
his
spirit
,
and
he
purchased
his
life
and
freedom
by
revealing
to
Morgoth
the
very
place
of
Gondolin
and
the
ways
whereby
it
might
be
found
and
assailed
.
Great
indeed
was
the
Joy
of
Morgoth
,
and
to
Maeglin
he
promised
the
lordship
of
Gondolin
as
his
vassal
,
and
the
possession
of
Idril
Celebrindal
,
when
the
city
should
be
taken
;
and
indeed
desire
for
Idril
and
hatred
for
Tuor
led
Maeglin
the
easier
to
his
treachery
,
most
infamous
in
all
the
histories
of
the
Elder
Days
.
But
Morgoth
sent
him
back
to
Gondolin
,
lest
any
should
suspect
the
betrayal
,
and
so
that
Maeglin
should
aid
the
assault
from
within
,
when
the
hour
came
;
and
he
abode
in
the
halls
of
the
King
with
smiling
face
and
evil
in
his
heart
,
while
the
darkness
gathered
ever
deeper
upon
Idril
.

At
last
,
in
the
year
when
Earendil
was
seven
years
old
,
Morgoth
was
ready
,
and
he
loosed
upon
Gondolin
his
Balrogs
,
and
his
Orcs
,
and
his
wolves
;
and
with
them
came
dragons
of
the
brood
of
Glaurung
,
and
they
were
become
now
many
and
terrible
.
The
host
of
Morgoth
came
over
the
northern
hills
where
the
height
was
greatest
and
the
watch
least
vigilant
,
and
it
came
at
night
upon
a
time
of
festival
,
when
all
the
people
of
Gondolin
were
upon
the
walls
to
await
the
rising
sun
,
and
sing
their
songs
at
its
uplifting
;
for
the
morrow
was
the
great
feast
that
they
named
the
Gates
of
Summer
.
But
the
red
light
mounted
the
hills
in
the
north
and
not
in
the
east
;
and
there
was
no
stay
in
the
advance
of
the
foe
until
they
were
beneath
the
very
walls
of
Gondolin
,
and
the
city
was
beleaguered
without
hope
.
Of
the
deeds
of
desperate
valour
there
done
,
by
the
chieftains
of
the
noble
houses
and
their
warriors
,
and
not
least
by
Tuor
,
much
is
told
in
The
Fall
of
Gondolin
:
of
the
battle
of
Ecthelion
of
the
Fountain
with
Gothmog
Lord
of
Balrogs
in
the
very
square
of
the
King
,
where
each
slew
the
other
,
and
of
the
defence
of
the
tower
of
Turgon
by
the
people
of
his
household
,
until
the
tower
was
overthrown
;
and
mighty
was
its
fall
and
the
fall
of
Turgon
in
its
ruin
.
Tuor
sought
to
rescue
Idril
from
the
sack
of
the
city
,
but
Maeglin
had
laid
hands
on
her
,
and
on
Earendil
;
and
Tuor
fought
with
Maeglin
on
the
walls
,
and
cast
him
far
out
,
and
his
body
as
it
fell
smote
the
rocky
slopes
of
Amon
Gwareth
thrice
ere
it
pitched
into
the
flames
below
.
Then
Tuor
and
Idril
led
such
remnants
of
the
people
of
Gondolin
as
they
could
gather
in
the
confusion
of
the
burning
down
the
secret
way
which
Idril
had
prepared
;
and
of
that
passage
the
captains
of
Angband
knew
nothing
,
and
thought
not
that
any
fugitives
would
take
a
path
towards
the
north
and
the
highest
parts
of
the
mountains
and
the
nighest
to
Angband
.
The
fume
of
the
burning
,
and
the
steam
of
the
fair
fountains
of
Gondolin
withering
in
the
flame
of
the
dragons
of
the
north
,
fell
upon
the
vale
of
Tumladen
in
mournful
mists
;
and
thus
was
the
escape
of
Tuor
and
his
company
aided
,
for
there
was
still
a
long
and
open
road
to
follow
from
the
tunnel
’
s
mouth
to
the
foothills
of
the
mountains
.
Nonetheless
they
came
thither
,
and
beyond
hope
they
climbed
,
in
woe
and
misery
,
for
the
high
places
were
cold
and
terrible
,
and
they
had
among
them
many
that
were
wounded
,
and
women
and
children
.

There
was
a
dreadful
pass
,
Cirith
Thoronath
it
was
named
,
the
Eagles
’
Cleft
,
where
beneath
the
shadow
of
the
highest
peaks
a
narrow
path
wound
its
way
;
on
the
right
hand
it
was
walled
by
a
precipice
,
and
on
the
left
a
dreadful
fall
leapt
into
emptiness
.
Along
that
narrow
way
their
march
was
strung
,
when
they
were
ambushed
by
Orcs
,
for
Morgoth
had
set
watchers
all
about
the
encircling
hills
;
and
a
Balrog
was
with
them
.
Then
dreadful
was
their
plight
,
and
hardly
would
they
have
been
saved
by
the
valour
of
yellow
-
haired
Glorfindel
,
chief
of
the
House
of
the
Golden
Flower
of
Gondolin
,
had
not
Thorondor
come
timely
to
their
aid
.
Many
are
the
songs
that
have
been
sung
of
the
duel
of
Glorfindel
with
the
Balrog
upon
a
pinnacle
of
rock
in
that
high
place
;
and
both
fell
to
ruin
in
the
abyss
.
But
the
eagles
coming
stooped
upon
the
Orcs
,
and
drove
them
shrieking
back
;
and
all
were
slain
or
cast
into
the
deeps
,
so
that
rumour
of
the
escape
from
Gondolin
came
not
until
long
after
to
Morgoth
’
s
ears
.
Then
Thorondor
bore
up
Glorfindel
’
s
body
out
of
the
abyss
,
and
they
buried
him
in
a
mound
of
stones
beside
the
pass
;
and
a
green
turf
came
there
,
and
yellow
flowers
bloomed
upon
it
amid
the
barrenness
of
stone
,
until
the
world
was
changed
.
Thus
led
by
Tuor
son
of
Huor
the
remnant
of
Gondolin
passed
over
the
mountains
,
and
came
down
into
the
Vale
of
Sirion
;
and
fleeing
southward
by
weary
and
dangerous
marches
they
came
at
length
to
Nan
-
tathren
,
the
Land
of
Willows
,
for
the
power
of
Ulmo
yet
ran
in
the
great
river
,
and
it
was
about
them
.
There
they
rested
a
while
,
and
were
healed
of
their
hurts
and
weariness
;
but
their
sorrow
could
not
be
healed
.
And
they
made
a
feast
in
memory
of
Gondolin
and
of
the
Elves
that
had
perished
there
,
the
maidens
,
and
the
wives
,
and
the
warriors
of
the
King
;
and
for
Glorfindel
the
beloved
many
were
the
songs
they
sang
,
under
the
willows
of
Nan
-
tathren
in
the
waning
of
the
year
.
There
Tuor
made
a
song
for
Earendil
his
son
,
concerning
the
coming
of
Ulmo
the
Lord
of
Waters
to
the
shores
of
Nevrast
aforetime
;
and
the
sea
-
longing
woke
in
his
heart
,
and
in
his
son
’
s
also
.
