Gondolin
Gondolin〔"Tolkien explained its origin in his "Name-list to "The Fall of Gondolin" thus: "''Gondolin'' meaneth in Gnomish 'stone of song' (whereby figuratively the Gnomes meant stone that was craven and wrought to great beauty)". Tolkien, J.R.R. ''The Book of Lost Tales, part II''. p. 216.〕 is a fictional city in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium inhabited by Elves. ==''The Fall of Gondolin''==
The city is first described in ''The Fall of Gondolin'' which was the foundational completed tale for all of Tolkien's Middle-earth stories.〔Carpenter, Humphrey, editor, ''The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien'', George Allen and Unwin, 1981, ISBN 0-395-31555-7, Letter 163, "...the first real story of this imaginary world almost fully formed as it now appears was written in prose during sick-leave at the end of 1916: The Fall of Gondolin".〕 The story was read aloud by Tolkien to the Exeter College Essay Club in the spring of 1920.〔Tolkien, J.R.R. ''The Book of Lost Tales, Part II.'' p. 147.〕 In this tale first one of Tolkien's main literary themes which would be repeated throughout his major works appears: the caution against possession. In ''The Lord of the Rings'' it is the possession of power through the One Ring, in ''The Silmarillion'' it is the lust to possess the beauty of the Jewels and in ''The Fall of Gondolin'' it is the possession of the city of Gondolin itself.
