As I said above I think Hurin and Huor play a major part in Turgon's pleasing.

That's a good point. I think if some random guy made it into Gondolin, it wouldn't have made such an impact on Turgon. However, the son of Huor making it to Gondolin was a confirmation of his greatness, like his dad, and Turgon couldn't help remembering Tuor's dad's valiant fighting and how much he owed him.

A quote from FoG:

Quote:

(Turgon speaking to Tuor): "Lo! thy coming was set in our books of wisdom, and it has been written that there would come to pass many great things in the homes of the Gondothlim whenso thou faredst hither."

I wouldn't say some random guy but if say it had been Beren that had come to Gondolin it wouldn't have had the same impact as Tuor did.

I agree

(but doesn't that sound funny? Imagine some average random human accidentally wandering into Gondolin....

)

What about Aragorn. He was a descendant of both Tuor and Beren.

Turgon: "What bringest thou unto the forbidden realm of Gondolin? For it is written that none shall pass hither except that a great doom be upon the world"
Random human: (Opens suitcase) "Would you like to buy one of my fine household cleansing products?"
