Gondolin or Nargothrond?
Which would you save? I vote for Nargothrond

Personally I would save Gondolin. For the reason that my sig states.

Gondolin, definitely. Always loved that city (the descriptions given in Silm and BoLT may have something to do with it).

I admit it, I only said Nargothrond to be different. Who wouldn't save Gondolin?

Well... Nargothrond just doesn't have it without Finrod around, and Thingol could have saved Doriath, so I have to Gondolin.

If you mean Doriath as in Menegroth, then I would save Menegroth. I like Gondolin a lot, but the description of Menegroth always wins me over.

Save Gondolin! But boot out Turgon and put Fingon in his place.
