Here are two of my favorite pieces by Jian Guo for #TolkienTrewsday #Ainur #FallOfGondolin #TolkienArt

#Tolkientober -Day 31: Destruction

Rôg killing a Balrog on the fields of Tumladen

(I don't think Balrog can fly but I went with the smoke wings for aesthetic reasons ✨️)

#Tolkientober - Day 9: Fall

"and [Tuor] cast him far out, and his body as it fell smote the rocky slopes of Amon Gwareth thrice ere it pitched into the flames below."Tolkien, Silmarillion

#Maeglin #FallOfGondolin #Silmarillion

Two out of five for the DTIYS

Lord of the Golden Flower

It is very important to me that Glorfindel participates in tournaments, both in Gondolin and especially in Imladris.

Penlod; Lord of the House of the Pillar, Lord of the House of the Tower of Snow
How close was he to Aredhel? He took over her house. That must mean something. Why him and not another?

Get yourself someone who looks at you like Salgant looks at Maeglin

(Not me taking the "and he fawned upon Meglin" bit way too literal 🤭)

Note: I hc that the only jewelry Maeglin wore in Gondolin is that of his late mother

Star (now star cluster it seems) #Earendel. In Tolkien's 1917 'Fall of Gondolin', a child Eärendel, fleeing the fallen elven city, is described by his father, Tuor: 'behold, his face shineth as a star in the waste'.

Many are the songs that have been sung of the duel of Glorfindel with the Balrog upon a pinnacle of rock in that high place; and both fell to ruin in the abyss.
