Part II; Chapter 17
News came not often to Gondolin, and when it came, it was usually brought by the guards from the gate, who had gotten it from the eagles on Crissaegrim, or from the eagles themselves by way of landing on Ard-Galen and delivering their messages before taking flight once more.
It was seven years since Dagor Bragollach when we received word in the Hidden Kingdom of stirrings in the world outside.
Meadhros, son of Feanor had perceived the threat of Angband, and it's seeming dormancy, and knew there was trouble to come, and that it was not unassailable, for he had heard of the quest of Beren and Luthien. Thus he sent forth word all over Beleriand of standing to fight alongside him, but here his father's legacy undid his work, and there were some in regions of our world that would not heed him unto battle, and forebade their people from following also.
Upon this word Turgon acted not, and when word came that Meadhros had driven all the orcs out of the North, Turgon and Maeglin said to one another in my presence in the drawing room, "He has attacked too soon." And, "Surely now Morgoth has all the warning he needs."
I said nothing, as I was keeping scribe duty for them, and as Maeglin had once pointed out to me with spite, this required no speech. Loath though I was to obey Maeglin, I must to keep Turgon's favor, and besides, I had nothing to add that was unsaid.
Word came then, that Meadhros and Fingon had joined forces and made plans set for Midsummer, but of this Turgon said nothing to neither Maeglin nor I.
