Gondolin or Nargothrond?

Personally I would save Gondolin. For the reason that my sig states.

Gondolin, definitely. Always loved that city (the descriptions given in Silm and BoLT may have something to do with it).

I admit it, I only said Nargothrond to be different. Who wouldn't save Gondolin?

Well... Nargothrond just doesn't have it without Finrod around, and Thingol could have saved Doriath, so I have to Gondolin.

Actually now that I think about it, it would be a hard decision to make. I love Nargothrond, but I think a lot of Gondolin also. Turgon is like my 3rd favorite elf next to Gil-Galad and Finrod Felagund.
