Well, I should pay more attention (or disregard misleading thread titles

).

But The Fall of Gondolin would make a great manuscript. As an appendage, I would like an expanded character study of Eol, perhaps my favorite Elf in all the Silmarillion. In particular, I'd like to know more about the arcane power he wielded (enchanting Nan Elmoth with shadows and snares, and imbuing blades with malice, for instance). Was this a natural ability of all Teleri (for I would assume Eol would consider himself Teleri and not a Sindar), or were such abilities only partially inherent, in that only a few such Elves of that Eldar generation could summon such power (perhaps only the firstborn -- and it can be assumed Eol was a firstborn)?
