The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Proposed FoG Agenda

After hearing about the Fall of Gondolin and after the attack by the Sons of FÃ«anor, he could have shifted to Sirion so that he would be closer "to the action" and have a better chance of defending his people.
Christopher Tolkien's reading also seems to be that Gil-Galad inherited the "High Kingship", by the way; from the '77: "And when tidings came to Balar of the fall of Gondolin and the death of Turgon, Ereinion Gil-galad son of Fingon was named High King of thie Noldor in Middle-earth."
There they take the name of Lothrim, the people of the flower, for Gondolindrim is a name too sore to their hearts; and fair among the Lothrim EÃ¤rendil grows in [the Isle of Sirion in] the [snow-white stone] house of his father, and the great tale of Tuor is come to its waning.'

Everlasting Darkness by Cirdan

Dark clouds spread out from Beleriand over the Bay of Balar, and only the occasional winds of the Sea provided the Elves with the sight of the stars.
He still could not eat on his own, but his eyes were bright and alert, and his mind was slowly becoming sound.
None knew what it meant, but the haze had been white and bright rather than dark, and so the people of Balar had hope.

But she lived with comparative ease on the Isle of Balar, a wooded isle stiff with creeks and inlets, a haven now for Cirdan, who plied his craft here and wrought many ships, light and swift, for the sake of the mariners who lived there.
The years passed, and no tidings came to Balar of the fate of six of the seven ships, and yet Ellomë never lost hope.
Then she sighed, and thought ‘Now fate decrees that I must wait for two mariners,’ and every morning she again watched the horizon, waiting for any sail which might bear hence those she loved best.

And J.R.R. Tolkien always intended it to read that way, because his histories are derived mostly from the Elves and Men who participated in the events reported in the tales.
Why did they flee to Balar in that year, if the war was not to begin until 545?
The War of the Jewels tells us that the Third Kinslaying occurred in the year 538 and that the last free Elves and Men fled to Balar in 540.

In The Etymologies, Tolkien speculates that the name might derive from báláre ('powerful ?lord'), a reference to the Maia Ossë who was said to often come to the Bay of Balar.
The Isle of Balar became an important centre after the destruction of the Havens in 472 (First Age), when C& and Gil-galad fled to the island and settled there.
While we are not told of the nature or location of settlements on the island, it is clear that it was populated at least early in the First Age, and possibly before that.

King and Herald :: Ereinion Gil-galad

Fingon perished at Nirnaeth Arnoediad and Turgon became High King, possibly due to Gil-galad’s young age, though the faction, which supports Fingon was not his father has some different ideas on this.
Thirty-six years later Gondolin fell (510 First Age) and with Turgon’s death Gil-galad became the sixth and last High King of the Noldor in Middle earth, ruling from the Mouths of Sirion during sixty-five years until the end of the First Age.
The Second Age began with the War of Wrath (10, Second Age), which led to the reshaping of Arda and the destruction of Beleriand and Balar.

In that First Age of Sun, the Falathrim were beseiged by Orcs for a time, and later still their havens fell to Morgoth, but they took their ships and sailed to the isle of Balar, and no power of Morgoth was able to come on the sea, for he greatly feared the Ocean Lord, Ulmo.
In the years of strife that came with the Rising of the Sun, the Falathrim fought for them against Morgoth the Enemy, who arose in the North.
There the Falathrim remained and were safe from strife, until the War of Wrath, when Beleriand itself was thrown down into the sea with the destruction of Angband.
