Tirion upon T�na, which the exiled Noldor of Gondolin would never see again. Menegroth was home to Thingol and Melian in Doriath. Vinyamar was Turgon's first stronghold in Nevrast. Alqualond� was the site of the kinslaying.

5. Who was 'the white lady of the Noldor'?

Answer: Turgon's Sister

Turgon's sister was Aredhel. She was the mother of Maeglin. She was called 'the white lady of the Noldor' due to the fact that she always wore white. She was killed by her husband.

7. Who was buried high above Gondolin in the Encircling Mountains?

Answer: Turgon's father

Turgon's father was Fingolfin, who fell a a fight with Morgoth. Fingolfin wounded Morgoth seven times (and then an eighth), but was unable to overcome his foe. His body was broght from Angband by Thorondor and he was laid to rest high above Gondolin.

8. Turgon was High-king of the Noldor after the fall of...?

Answer: Fingon

Fingolfin was the father of Fingon and Turgon. When Fingolfin perished, Fingon became king. After the death of Fingon, the kingship passed to Turgon. Gil-galad was the last king of the Noldor, though it is debated as to who's son he was. Finrod Felagund was never High-king.

10. Which one of Turgon's relations sailed to Valinor to enlist help from the Valar?

Answer: Turgon's grandson

E�rendil the mariner was the son of Tuor and Idril, which made him Turgon's grandson. Turgon's nephew was Gil-galad, though that relation has been questioned in other of Tolkien's writings. Turgon's son-in-law was Tuor. Turgon's great-grandsons were Elrond and Elros.
