LOTR: What Happened To Gondolin?

The Lord of the Rings is an expansive world with many different people, cultures, and cities. One of the most impactful historical events from the lore of LOTR involves the great White City, Gondolin. It was an Elven city like no other in Middle-earth. In fact, it barely resembles anything fans of the movies would expect from Elves. Instead of crafting the city out of trees or hiding it in a forest, the founders of Gondolin crafted it out of stone with high walls that cast long shadows in the middle of a valley surrounded by taller mountains.
