Both wrong.

Gondolin is the only city among them.

Tol-in-Gaurhoth was the only fortress where an elf destroyed it. (Luthien)

Nay.

symestreem · 03-28-2004, 09:43 AM

Gondolin was the only one that fell through treachery... wait... wait...

Turgon died at Gondolin
Finrod died at Tol-in-Gaurhoth
Orodreth died at Nargothrond
Finwe died at Formenos

Angband is the only one where an elf-king did not die?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-28-2004, 07:50 PM

...but not actually in/on it.

OK...Formenos was the only one not in Middle-earth?

Symestreem has the right reasoning, but the wrong OPO. I guess it's who gets here first now...

symestreem · 03-29-2004, 07:44 AM

Symestreem gets here first, but hasn't a clue what you're talking about.

Gondolin is the only one where an elf-king is not slain?

Formenos- You put it first in the list. It's gotta be it, cause that's just the way you are...

Ok, and it doesn't fit the rest of the criteria
Angband- Fell because of Earendil's (who was half Man) plea to the Valar for help
Gondolin- Many of its people were saved from its sack by Tuor
Nargothrond- Was destroyed easily because of Turin's decision to build a bridge
Tol-in-Gaurhoth- Was destroyed for the sake of Beren's escape

Formenos was the only one whose downfall did not concern or involve a Man.

Tol-in-Gaurhoth is the only place where a High-King of the Noldor didn't die...albeit my father did.
