The Fairest Kingdom/Realm in Middle-Earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Khazad-Dum, I completely forgot Dwarves! If not for the Balrog, I'm sure it must have rivalled all other places in beauty and security (having a hidden western doorway, too). I think I'll extend what I think as the fairest realm in all the land to the Moria/Lorien region. Imagine, right next door to this enchanted elven forest is this great underground city-fortress!

As for the fairest realm of the First Age, I suppose that Gondolin might be tied with Doriath. Mormegil has convinced me.

Do you think Lothlorien was fairer than Gondolin & Doriath?

I have only read the Silmarillion once (although I intend to reread it again), so for now I'm going to have to pass as I don't know enough about the places to make a good judgement. And I'll leave it up to the people who can.
