Gondolin or Nargothrond?

arvedui_last_king · 02-17-2006, 01:55 PM

Which would you save? I vote for Nargothrond

Telcontar_Dunedain · 02-17-2006, 02:09 PM

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

Falagar · 02-17-2006, 02:16 PM

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

arvedui_last_king · 02-17-2006, 02:22 PM

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

BeardofPants · 02-17-2006, 02:51 PM

Yep, sheepie here goin' with the majority - I'd save Gondolin.

arvedui_last_king · 02-17-2006, 02:53 PM

You can also vote for Doriath.

gondolin obviously, but turgon would have to remain of course

durinsbane2244 · 02-17-2006, 08:58 PM

Gondolin! Gondolin! Goooooo, Gondolin!

Arien the Maia · 02-17-2006, 10:29 PM

Nargathrond...I always liked caves...

Lady Marion Magdalena · 02-18-2006, 12:29 AM

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

CrazySquirrel · 02-18-2006, 05:04 AM

Burn them all!

***Earniel*** · 02-18-2006, 06:01 AM

If you mean Doriath as in Menegroth, then I would save Menegroth. I like Gondolin a lot, but the description of Menegroth always wins me over.

durinsbane2244 · 02-18-2006, 09:09 PM

nah, they would've all died without Gondolin, and the hobbits' swords were made there, and gothmog was killed by gondolinians[?] and i believe that was glorfindal's home...and i just love its name! gondolin...sweeeeeet...

Last Child of Ungoliant · 02-18-2006, 09:14 PM

gondolin ondolinde - city of the singing stone

durinsbane2244 · 02-18-2006, 09:18 PM

sweet...i don't recall, is that in the Sil, or did you make that up, or what?

Last Child of Ungoliant · 02-18-2006, 09:38 PM

durinsbane2244 · 02-18-2006, 09:47 PM

Perhaps you mean Bilbo's sword; the enchanted daggersTom gave the hobbits were made by the Men of Westernesse.
