| | Fall of Gondolin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A partial new version of "The Fall of Gondolin" was published in the Unfinished Tales under the title "Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin". | | | In the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, the "Fall of Gondolin" is the name of one of the original Lost Tales which formed the basis for a section in his later work, The Silmarillion. | | | Actually titled "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin", this narrative shows a great expansion of the earlier tale. |

| | TolkienWiki: The__Origin__of__Orcs |
| | In "The Fall of Gondolin", one of the earliest written tales in The Book of Lost Tales 2 (HoMeII) - where the names Orcs and Goblins are alternatively used - the "origin" of Orcs (there described as "Melko's goblins") is very different. | | | And Men were troubled by many evil things that Morgoth had made in the days of his dominion: demons and dragons and monsters, and Orcs, that are mockeries of the creatures of Iluvatar; and their lot was unhappy. | | | Probably written in 1936, there is IMO a noticeable change in the concept, the idea that has first appeared in the earliest "The Fall of Gondolin" is taken up again. |

| | The original telling of the Fall of Gondolin in the Book of Lost Tales 2 was not the final version of the story. | | | Master_Of_Arda, while in the tale Of the Fall of Gondolin, in the Book of Lost Tales, that many Balrogs were slewn, it also pays to note what Christopher Tolkien said in the chapter commentary for The Fall of Gondolin. | | | Because the balrogs in Tolkien's original telling of the Fall of Gondolin in BoLT were not the balrogs in the Fall of Gondolin as told in The Silmarillion. |
