Re: Celebrimbor

Telchar:I think it would be sad if we cant keep the idear of a hidden
city - just to solve problems elsewhere in the story - I can feel
JRRT spinning in his grave!

lindil: true enough, but jrrt did strongly suggest in the afore mentioned narrative re: eol that the sons of Feanor knew how to get messages through.

You are right though in going to far in having as potential text, the idea of Noldor of other houses going to and fro Gondolin. Although come to think of it, Arminas when he meets Tuor at the gate of the Noldor, says [as I recall] other Noldor may know G's location , but that they would not tell Men.




Lindil is oft found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowdowns and working onthe 2nd Elven/Christian discussion board<a href="http://pub72.ezboard.com/bosanwe" >Osanwe</a>, and Gilthalion's http://pub41.ezboard.com/btarostineruhirTar Ost-in-Eruhir</A>. and Finrod prophecieth to Andreth " Therefore Eru,if He will not relinquish His work to Melkor... must come in to conquer him. </p>
