http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondolin

How many houses were the folk of Gondolin divided into when they went into war? 12. The people of Gondolin were arrayed in the form of the 11 houses of Gondolin and there was also an elite bodyguard led by Tuor, which is also called the House of the White Wing. The Houses of Gondolin were: the King's kinsmen led by Turgon himself; Heavenly Arch; Swallow; Sable Mole; Pillar; Tower of Snow; The Tree; Golden Flower; Fountain; Hammer of Wrath; and the Harp. Which house of Gondolin was led by Ecthelion, slayer of Gothmog? House of the Fountain. Ecthelion, the Guard of the Fountain led the people of the House of the Fountain. According to the book of Lost Tales, "...silver and diamonds were their delight; and swords very long and bright and pale did they wield, and they went into the battle with the music of flutes." Ecthelion would of course be immortalized(pun unintended)in song for his great achievement of killing Gothmog single-handedly. Despite having been badly wounded in a previous skirmish, he managed to drown his enemy in the basin of the king's fountain, before he himself drowned in the pool.

The people of the House of the Hammer of Wrath were comprised entirely of Noldorin slaves who had escaped from Morgoth's clutches. t. These brave folk had managed to escape from the pits of Morgoth's prison and find their way to Gondolin where their hate for their earlier tormentors, especially the Balrogs, would be channelled into an almost unstoppable fury.In which direction did the secret way delved from Tuor's house lead to? North West. Idril, Tuor's wife, who had misgivings about Meglin's loyalty, had asked Tuor to get a deep escape tunnel built from their house into the plain when Earendil was barely a year old. Although the tunnel was not fully complete by the time of the battle, they managed to escape in the ensuing confusion.Apart from the loss of Gothmog, no other Balrog was destroyed in the battle for Gondolin. f. It is said that Morgoth never lost more Balrogs in one day than he did in the battle for Gondolin. In fact, he had never lost any Balrogs before this battle to Men or Elves. Most of the Balrogs were killed by the men of the House of the Hammer of Wrath, led by Rog, who attacked the Balrogs with an almost unstoppable fury, until greater numbers and a fire drake put an end to all of them.

After Turgon, who is acclaimed as the bravest warrior of Gondolin? Galdor. Galdor, the lord of the House of the Tree was acclaimed as the bravest warrior in all of Gondolin, second only to Turgon. He, like the people of his house, fought with Iron studded war clubs or slings. Galdor comes to the rescue of Tuor and Ecthelion when the latter two are retreating, outnumbered by a large number of Orcs. They trip, and are nearly killed, but for the onslaught of Galdor and his men.Which house of Gondolin fight leaderless from the beginning, but, valiantly, right to the end? House of the Harp. Salgant, the leader of the House of the Harp is said to be squat and short, an unlikely figure in the popular imagination of Tolkein fans of tall and slender elves. He was also a follower of Meglin, but did not know of the former's pact with Morgoth. Although he was a hearty, well loved fellow, he was a total coward and hid under his bed for the most part of the battle. However, the men of his house fought valiantly, protecting the rearguard of Glorfindel and his men, when the latter were outnumbered and retreating, before being killed by overwhelming foes and a fire drake.What new weapon did Morgoth conceive that ultimately made the difference for his forces against the Noldoli in the supposedly impregnable fortress of Gondolin? Monsters of Metal and flame. When he captured Meglin, Morgoth found out from him the true extent of Turgon's forces and defences in Gondolin, which could withstand Morgoth's armies in a seige for several years without being defeated. To counter the high walls and marksmanship of the Gondolithrim, Morgoth devised monsters of flame and iron, which could withstand any shot, coil themselves around any defence and allow the armies of orcs within them to burst forth and attack the defenders at close range. Ultimately this proved decisive in the battle as these monsters of flame and iron shrugged off the darts of the defenders of Gondolin and made it up to the walls of the city itself.Tuor, Idril, Earendil and the others' escape was unhindered by the forces of Morgoth, because of ther pre-occupation in looting Gondolin. f. The escape of the few folk who had gathered around Tuor, was helped by the fact that most of the troops were pre-occupied with the battle for the Palace where Turgon and his kinsmen put on a stout, but hopeless defence on the tower, until the tower was brought down by the dragons at its base.Who led the people of Tuor under the tunnel and over the plain with his keen sight and hearing to the safety of the surrounding hills. Legolas Greenleaf. You must remeber, this was written much earlier than the "Lord of the Rings" and Tolkein ultimately used the name of Legolas Greenleaf for the character in the War of the Ring. In the acount in the "Book of Lost Tales", Legolas is an Elf of the House of the Leaf who leads a few of the survivors of Gondolin in the cover of dark and mist into the mountains and escape. He is also the first of the names later found in the "Lord of the Rings", along with Gimli, an elf who appears in the "Tale of Tinuviel". I hope you enjoyed the quiz. This quiz is based on the early version of the "Silmarillion" written by Tolkein and before suggesting any corrections, I sincerely request that you refer to the second volume of the "Book of Lost Tales".

The House of the King. Turgon and his house had the emblems of "the moon and the sun and the scarlet heart" and their signifying colours were white, gold, and red, each doubtless connected with one of the emblems. I have here grouped the three symbols into one device, although it is possible the house actually had three different devices. The heart represented the heart of Fingolfin, Turgon's father, who was buried north of the city. I have assumed that the sun is connected with the sun in the device of Finwe's house (Turgon being Finwe's grandson), and therefore given it the same number of rays.

The House of the White Wing. The stoutest of the King's men wore swans' or gulls' wings on their helmets, and the device of their shields was a swan's wing on blue. Of this kind was the shield and helm that Tuor found in Nevrast, destinying him to ultimately join and lead the house.

这个比较无语The House of the Mole. Maeglin, who led the House of the Mole, was a masterful miner, and apparently associated himself with a mole. But the shields of the house were sable and unblazoned, just like Morgoth's shield. In the end, it was Maeglin who betrayed Gondolin to Morgoth.

The House of the Swallow. This house consisted of formidable archers, dressed in white, dark blue, purple and black. Their leader was called Duilin and their shields were charged with an arrowhead. The Swallow might be reminiscent of an arrow, flying speedily through the air and always finding its mark.

The House of the Heavenly Arch. The members of Egalmoth's house were all very wealthy and enjoyed jewels and gold. On their helmets was set a large opal, and their shields were sky-blue. In the centre of the shields was "a jewel built of seven gems": ruby, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, chrysoprase, topaz and amber. The arrangement of the gems is my own; the "Heavenly Arch" was most likely intended to be the rainbow, and I have assumed that the topaz was yellow, to complete the rainbow colour gradient indicated in the order of the other stones.

The House of the Golden Flower. Glorfindel led this house, whose device was charged with a rayed sun. The background colour I have chosen because of the house's name, and the description of Glorfindel's clothing as reminding of "a field in spring".

The House of the Harp. The members of this house wore tassels of silver and gold, and on their shields were set a silver harp on a sable background. The leader of the house, Salgant, fawned on Maeglin, and his on device only the harp was golden. It is notable that the device shares the black of the House of the Mole, perhaps by direct influence of Maeglin on Salgant.

T-T无产阶级苏联老大哥都出来了The House of the Hammer of Wrath. A group of smiths and craftsmen, this courageous and strong house, lead by Rog, fought with maces and had heavy shields. Their emblem was the stricken anvil, but their shields showed "a hammer that smiteth sparks about it". No indication is given of the colouring of the device, but a clue might be that "red gold and black iron was their delight".

The devices of the remaining houses aren't described. What we know is this: The House of the Pillar and The House of the Tower of Snow were both lead by Penlod. No hint whatsoever is given regarding their attributes. The House of the Tree was lead by Galdor and its members were dressed in green. The House of the Fountain was lead by Ecthelion, the one who slew Gothmog, lord of Balrogs. The members of the house enjoyed silver and diamonds, whose glitter and colour no doubt influenced their emblem.

The House of the Fountain was one of the Twelve Houses of the Gondothlim, led by Ecthelion of the Fountain. They were said to delight in silver and diamonds, and their swords were long and bright and pale. They went into battle to the music of flutes. During the Fall of Gondolin they were held in reserve by Turgon, who unleashed them after the balrogs made a breach in the wall. "The crystal and silver of their array was most lovely to see amid the red light of the fires and the blackness of the ruins" – The Book of Lost Tales 2, Fall of Gondolin

The House of the Golden Flower was one of the Twelve Houses of Gondolin. Glorfindel was its head, and its device was that of a rayed sun. They defended the Great Market during the Fall of Gondolin, and guarded the rear in the retreat of the exiles. Retrieved

The House of the Hammer of Wrath was a kindred of Gondolin led by Rog during the Fall of Gondolin. They were great smiths and craftsmen, and reverenced Aulë. They carried great maces like hammers, and heavy shields, for they had strong arms. The device of this people was the Stricken Anvil, and a hammer that smites sparks about it; this was set upon their shields, for red gold and black iron was their delight. They had a great hatred for Morgoth and the Balrogs, and during the Fall of Gondolin they slew a number of the fell beasts, the first to slay any of the balrogs, though all of them perished in that battle. ". . . Now the last of the battalions was furnished by the folk of the Hammer of Wrath, and of these came many of the best smiths and craftsmen, and all that kindred reverenced Aulë the Smith more than all other Ainur. They fought with great maces like hammers, and their shields were heavy, for their arms were very strong. In older days they had been much recruited by Noldoli who escaped from the mines of Melko, and the hatred of thsi house for the works of that evil one and the Balrogs his demons was exceedingly great. . . The sign of this people was the Stricken Anvil, and a hammer that smiteth sparks about it was set on their shields, and red gold and black iron was their delight, Very numerous was that battalion, nor had any amongst them a faint heart, yet. . . vanished from the Earth; and with them much craftsmanship and skill has been lost for ever. . ."

这段比较重要，特别用中文标一下：Legolas Greenleaf was a Noldo of Gondolin. He was one of the House of the Tree, a scout under Galdor. Because of his keen eyes and knowledge of the mountainous area, he was chosen by the escapees of the Fall of Gondolin to be in front and guide them across the Cristhorn. He is probably not the same Legolas as Legolas of Mirkwood (see argument on that article). Their shared title, "Greenleaf", is merely a translation of their name. Like many of the names from his earlier tales, it is possible that Tolkien recycled this one. It may also be suggested that Legolas of Mirkwood was named after this famous elf of the ancient legends, the Sindar possibly not having the same reservations about reusing names as the Noldor. 顺便，这个网站非常BT的内容在这里，哈哈：属于我的顺手牵羊，虽然跟贡多林十二家住木有关系……In Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movie trilogym Legolas was portrayed by Orlando Bloom. In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring. This date for Legolas' birth was made up by the movie writers, as in the books there are no known dates concerning Legolas before Third Age 3018. Curiously, the year 2931 was the year Aragorn was born; the writers may have picked the number at random from the Tale of Years in the Appendices.笑倒在地……
