[Before the Fall]

For the 12*12 vignette category of Summer Joust 2025. After I got knocked out of MELO I wanted to continue building in Tolkien’s universe.

 

“The streets of Gondolin were paved with stone and wide, kerbed with marble and fair houses and courts amid gardens of bright flowers were set about the ways[..]“

 

A vignette of a small courtyard of Gondolin before the fall. A soldier of the Gondolindrim is on duty guarding a gold-dressed gate while the infamous Glorfindel stands on the balcony. Perhaps he senses the betrayal at hand and what is coming?
