I would like to hear some feedback on what some of you think about this topic. Which do you think was more powerful, the Last Alliance or the Host of Gondolin. I tend to lean toward the host of Gondolin, and the warriors of the seven gates. Tuor, Turgon, Glorfindel, these are all very powerful warriors. The last alliance had some worthy names, (elrond, isildur) but I believe the power of Gondolin was stronger, mainly because the last alliance fought mainly against Orcs and goblins. (a few trolls) But the host of Gondolin was seiged by Balrogs at unawares, and I believe had they known they were going to war, they would have achieved victory. Opinions? Speak not ill-boding! If the messenger of the Lord of the Waters go by that door, then all those who dwell here will follow him. Lord of the Fountains, hinder not the messenger of the Lord of Waters!
