i would with out dout want to live in Goldolin, the protection of the mountains would make me forget about the evil servants of morgoth dwelling in Beleriand. NOT TO MENTION that fact that its hidden from more than half of Beleriand

Thank you kindly for the warm welcome! You can call me Maitimo (my-TEE-moh), it's really my name, lucky me. It makes up for Ylihärsilä, my crappy, hard-to-say last name...mean people call me Ula. (Name's pronounced Oo-lei-HARR-seeh-lah, except the 'oo' sounds more like an 'ew,' if you were wondering).
Well, as for Hithlum, it did sport a rather nice lake, and, as Fingolfin and his son knew, you could keep an eye on everyone from there; Morgoth, and the Sons of Feanor both. It gives me the same vibes as the Scandanavian highlands. Admittedly, they're craggy, foggy, cold, damp, and grey to anyone who hasn't lived in them, but, to those who have...well, it feels like home, I guess. Quote:

I think I've somewhat made up my mind of which place is the best. When it comes to visiting, I'd most of all like to visit Gondolin. Gondolin must have been a great city for a tourist with lots of tourist attractions. But I wouldn't want to live in a city which is that remote and isolated as Gondolin, even though I'd love to live in a city. But since there doesn't seem to have been many good cities around in Beleriand, I guess the best place for me to live would probably be Doriath. Finrod and his Nargothrond will have to excuse, but I couldn't live in a cave no matter how fantastic it was. I'd rather live in the woods of Thingol's kingdom, where I would be able to see the sun and some vegetation

I don't know quite why, but Gondolin has always enchanted me ...
*imagines living there with Tuor the noble, the valiant, the stud-muffin* *realizes that this might look a little weird, since her Entmoot name is the name of Tuor's MOTHER*  OK, people, I chose "R*an" for my Moot name because I liked how it looked and sounded, not because she was Tuor's mom! I think that people generally think of the city when thinking of Gondolin, but there are beautiful non-city parts, too.

I had forgotten about Nan-tathren - that must have been a very beautiful place to make Voronwë forget about the sea ...
"in the fair fields of Nan-tathren, where the spring is sweeter than heart's desire."

Gondolins kinda the most fantastic image of a place ever. In Encircling hills hidden from the world tall and white and beautiful. Of all the storys of the Silmarillion i have to say if i could see one battle broiught to life it would be that the desperate defence of the best city this side of the great sea
.Still give me safty anyday

Probably Menegroth, mostly due to Doriath, (I would want to see that forest). But Nargothrond would be a good second choice (a learning centre as it was) . Gondolin, being an enclosed city would be a nice place to visit, but since it doesn’t have the wood expanses of elsewhere, and since one cannot leave, it doesn’t have the appeal other places have (to me).

Of course Gondolin is the most beautiful place in Middle-Earth. I wonder how Dor Firn-i-Guinar , the Land of the Death that live, would compare with the other places, especially when Lúthien wore the Nauglam*r:
From the Sil: Quote:
And it was said to him that this was Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva, or the Cottage of Lost Play, and at that name he wondered greatly. I know that this place is outside of Beleriand and outside of Tolkien's later legendarium, but it is a place of great beauty and hope. While the other great elf kingdoms of Beleriand, could have been way more beautiful, there were always under the assault of Morgoth. I don't think that neither kingdom in ME could be truly happy with the overpowering presence of him, and also, there was not that mixture of elves and men in them. For example it didn't exist in Nargothrond, Gondolin or Menegroth. In contrast, the Cootage of Lost Play, being an early conception was a place in where both Men and Elves could live side by side in harmony and peace. A place where there was an integration never to be seen again. It was truly the Cottage of Lost Play where no Play was lost.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

For an elf---(if not in Turgon's crowd) The willow reeds of Nan-Tathren
For a human--- (if not one of the three classy people allowed in Gondolin), Dor-Lomin For a dwarf---Belegost (among other things, get to pick up the pieces after the dummies in Nogrod try to rumble with elves, Beren, and ents) For an ent---Taur-Im-Duinath (bigger then other Beleriand forests. Lots of "room to grow" for the relatively young ent polity.

I wouldn't get into Nargothond because SGH would always have the guest bedroom booked. Gondolin for me, but I gotta love Afro-elf's comment about the Havens.

And it would be impossible to sleep, laying awake all night listening to SGH and Ruinel fighting.
