I would be ok using:
Then Turgon {king} [King] of Gondolin robed in white with a belt of gold, <TO tallest of all the [living] Children of the World, save Thingol,>

Are you guys ok with that then?

I suppose we could delete it from the Building of Gondolin and put it in here, but I don't think we should move text around like that without a very good reason.
How did I know that you were going to say something like that. I think that if we used that in the earlier section, it should not be used exactly here. I wonder if we could get away mentioning her hair colour or if it would be better to delete the reference.
