Description
*Turgon was a Noldorin Elf born in Eldamar.*In Middle-earth, Ulmo the Vala showed him the hidden valley of Tumladen within the Encircling Mountains, which was to become the kingdom of Gondolin.
*He ruled that hidden kingdom of white stone for five centuries before it was betrayed and revealed to Morgoth by Maeglin. The Dark enemy sent a huge force of Orcs, Trolls, Dragons and Balrogs, and Gondolin was overrun and its people slaughtered.
*Turgon, with his sword Glamdring in his hand, died fighting in defence of his people and his beloved city.

yes, I totally agree. if your are a Tolkien purist I suggest that you never go to FanFiction.net because of the truly horrific perversions done to Tolkien's work on there.

Hehe, I don't consider myself a purist; I have read the parodies on the Silmarillion and LotR, and thought they were hilarious.
BUT I hate it when people do drawings of the actors from the movies rather than being creative. Copying photos is just a bloody lack of imagination, and not art in my opinion.

I guess people do that with everything. Let them do their silly fan-fics.

You have not seen horror until you have seen their fanart for their slash stories. I stumbled upon one while browsing:shudders: bad, bad memories.

Yeah, I'm looking for the Simlarillion(sp?) and if I don't find it in a library I will find the money and go buy it at Borders.

The Silmarillion, yes. Very worth reading!
I buy all my books on Amazon. Only costs a third of the price than in the stores over here. Insanely expensive.

Nice, although the scan is not very clear (or is it just my screen?).
I like his clothes and the shading on his face.
