‘Alas for the White City!’ he wailed. And Idril looked behind, and saw as if in a vision a vast smoke across Tumladen, that none might gaze upon Gondolin. And hope fled her breast. But lo, as a star in the night, the high tower of Turgon pierced the grim haze, and she beheld it. For Gondolin was of the triumphs of the Noldor the greatest and the last, and the light of its glory was of Aman undimmed. Long there she looked, until darkness fell again, and it seemed that a great cry came out of the city, the wailing and splintering of stone as Morgoth’s might descended. Then she turned and looked no more, and Gondolin unbroken is remembered now only in song. Where its ruin lies none can tell, for all of that land was drowned. But the tales of the Wise do not forget Idril Silver-foot and the tower of Turgon her father.

1.2k celebration – nienor niniel for karina @00317 ❤ ❤ ❤

But Nienor ran on into the woods until she was spent, and then fell, and slept, and awoke; and it was a sunlit morning, and she rejoiced in light as it were a new thing, and all things else that she saw seemed new and strange, for she had no names for them. Nothing did she remember save a darkness that lay behind her, and a shadow of fear; therefore she went warily as a hunted beast, and became famished, for she had no food and knew not how to seek it.

1.2k celebration – ossë for @meadows-green ❤ (get your own!)

Many of the Teleri pressed on to the shores of Beleriand, and dwelt thereafter near the Mouths of Sirion, in longing for their friends that had departed; and they took Olwë, Elwë’s brother, to be their king. Long they remained by the coasts of the western sea, and Ossë and Uinen came to them and befriended them; and Ossë instructed them, sitting upon a rock near to the margin of the land, and of him they learned all manner of sea-lore and sea-music.

1.2k celebration – ereinion gil-galad for @poet-of-arda ❤ (get your own!)

Then Gil-galad and Elendil passed into Mordor and encompassed the stronghold of Sauron; and they laid siege to it for seven years, and suffered grievous loss by fire and by the darts and bolts of the Enemy, and Sauron sent many sorties against them. There in the valley of Gorgoroth Anárion son of Elendil was slain, and many others. But at the last the siege was so strait that Sauron himself came forth; and he wrestled with Gil-galad and Elendil, and they both were slain, and the sword of Elendil broke under him as he fell.

1.2k celebration – sauron for @laurelins ♡ (get your own!)

But Sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home. There he took up again his great Ring in Barad-dur, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure.
