Gondolin

=**Gondolin**= Gondolin was a hidden elf city built by a Noldar named Turgon. It was surrounded on all sides by mountains and gaurded by seven large gates. The first gate was made of wood, the second was made of stone, the third was made of bronze, then iron, then silver, gold, and steel. It was destroyed when Turgon's nephew told Morgoth about it and orcs and dragons attacked the city.
