Faction: Gondolin

Mae govannen!

Lore: Turgon was born inYT: 1300 in Aman and was the son of fingolfin and anaire. He was first against the movement out of Aman but later joined after feanor and his sons had departed there by boats. However he took his people and his father along with himself across the helcaraxe where he lost his wife, once they reached middle earth he settled in vinyamar and rules nevrast.

When once traveling with his cousin Finrod Felagund in the year 50 of the first age on the river sirion ulmo sent them both dreams in which they were told to find secret locations of where to build a safe place fom melkor that he would not find, in this dream Ulmo showed turgon a valley in a mountain range in which he would be safe.

After 52 years of hard labour from his most skilled elves Gondolin was finished, and in secret turgon lead his people to the valley and into the city. Before leaving vinyamar though he left a sword, chainmail, and a helmet for one who would go to the noldor when they need help the most. After around 200 years of the city being created and dwelt in aredhel went to go visit the sons of feanor along with Eglamoh, Glorfindel, and Ecthelion, however they never reached the sons of feanor and aredhel was lost, Eglamoth, Ecthelion, and Glorfindel went back to gondolin as they could not find her. but to their suprise she returned two years later with her son maeglin; After eol found the city and killed Aredhel he was thrown off of a cliff and Maeglin was taken under Turgon's wing and given the house of the mole to rule. Maeglin also loved turgon's daughter idril who denied any romantic relationship between the two. Idril later married Tuor.

Turgon's reign was un disturbed besides eol at this point untill Dagor bragollach when he was brought his father's corpse by thorondor, after this he was given Hurin and huor who he fostered for a year untill letting them return to Dor lomin.

Once all of the other elven factions were destroyed morgoth's desire turned towards Gondolin, but once Morgoth found maeglin outside of the valley it was only a matter of time before the dark lord would advance upon Gondolin. During the fall of gondolin Turgon was killed by his own tower which fell on him.

My plans for Gondolin:

As king of Gondolin i would help Myrflora create Gondolin and try and get the lords to help a lot more as well as so far i feel as though we could do a lot more on the city and pick up the pace as with one prson it is very hard because of the sheir size of the build. I would also like to give Jakub the title of High commander of the armies in gondolin as he is the best at pvp in our faction. I also plan to help the new players that decide join us as a new member would really help with the roleplay in our faction, and that brings me to my next point; Gondolin has always joked about team bonding and role play would be a good way to do it as we need to do moreand i personally enjoy it. I also do not plan to join the alliance as it could break our immunity that we hold dear, i would also not go to war unless in VERY dire situations.

Why i should be picked:

So i have tested out being a king here before in Khazad- Dum but i admit i was not the best king... but now that i am trying to get on better terms with Nogrod as we had a petty argument that lead to a number of preventable deaths. i do like to role play but i have not had the chance to recently becase i am foccusing on learning Dutch, Homework, Helping my brother, Playing rugby... so i do plan to roleplay a lot more within Gondolin as most of us, if not all of us have at least a basic understanding of the lore surrounding gondolin. After being a lord i believe that i now realise how to deal with certain situations as i offered two players bases, and i like to give help out within the faction, even when helcaryon needed a training dummy to Abjoes :3.

And with that i woul like to thank the FA players and admins for making this community as good as it is, it is one of the best communities i have played on. To the gondolin players, i hope i can lead you all well if accepted and i am willing to take in your thoughts and act upon them.
