Could be, but Turgon forgot (ignored?) what Ulmo said - that the secret of Gondlin won't will be discovered, and that Turgon have to be prepared.

Yeesh, that's tall! Are you sure you can kick that high?
BTW, where'd you get the number?

Elendil was 7'11"?
Tuor taller than Elendil? I always had the impression that the Numenoreans/Dunedain were taller than other Men.

The Edain and Noldor were said to average 7 feet. The Numenoreans, in the days of their 'declining' 6 foot 4.

Ind S: Who's Argon ? Aragorn wouldn't have been that tall. I always pictured the Numenoreans as being taller than any eldar. Maybe the Noldor were v.tall (Fingolfin I bet was a v.tall) but I'm open to suggestions and/or facts.

Argon was a Noldorin prince, who did not survive the crossing of the Helcaraxe, I think.

Argon was the youngest son of Fingolfin. His Quenyarin name was Arakano, he was named after his father and it can be interpretated as 'Commander'. (The sons of Fingfolfin sure liked hte 'Kano'- prefix). He was slain in a battle in Lammoth, after striking down a Orc chieftain. His character was a rather late developement and first came into existence in the 'Shibboleth of Feanor, HoME 12.
Him not surviving the crossing of the Helkaraxe was a ephermal idea. |

As Turgon is my favorite Elf he is by default my favorite Elven King. The whole concept of Gondolin was cool and even though in the end he seemed to forget about the warnings of Ulmo he still held his people together the longest in the meantime. Also from Gondolin many beautiful and lasting things came. Numenorean kings can be traced back to the house of Turgon, as can Elrond and his offspring. Glamdring (my favorite sword) was made for Turgon. He basically commanded his city very well until the end. Maeglin gave the location away and finally Turgon's Noldorian pride caught up with him and he didn't want to leave, but who could blame him for that.

Anglorfin: I agree Turgon was a great king. The whole concept of a hidden city was a great defense. Well, until it wasn't hidden anymore. Maeglin *spits on ground* was a rat!! |
