The Fall of Gondolin, one of Tolkien's "Great Tales," reveals the tragic story of the hidden Elven city’s destruction at the hands of Morgoth’s forces. Explore the origins of this epic tale, its critical role in the larger mythology of Middle-earth, and the heroic journey of Tuor, son of Huor. Follow Tuor’s wanderings as he is guided by Ulmo, the Vala of the waters, to the secret city of Gondolin. There, he forms an alliance with its king, Turgon, and becomes a key figure in the city’s final days.
