Yet, Maeglin was nowhere stated to be the heir. Now, looking at what we know of Glorfindel genetically, it is probably quite safe to assume that his relation to Turgon was through Turgon's grandmother Indis, as Glorfindel is clearly of partial Vanyarin origin. This relation is far more distant than Maeglin, and henceforth we can safely assume he was not considered the heir, and as he is only mentioned to be a Lord of Gondolin, I would not of further than that, elevating him to the status of a Prince. Maeglin was not considered a Prince, only a Lord. If I were in charge of Gondolin, I would keep Ecthelion, Glorfindel and Penlod along with Maeglin the same status, not elevating one above another. Your role will, if accepted, be Lord of the House of the Flower, with no perks above the other Great Lords of Gondolin. I agree with that. I wasn't hoping for more status, just wanted to make it easier because the title is very very long.
