He sued for peace and pardon, but he was bound again with the old. Gothmog was briefly conceived as a "son of Melkor and the ogress Fluithuin", and went by the name of Kosomot. Angband was then leveled and Morgoth was finally captured in the deepest of his mines. Gothmog is a Quenya name, of the terms gos or goth ("dread") and -mbaw ("compel, force, subject, oppress"). The waters quenched the flames of Gothmog and drowned both him and Ecthelion, ending the Battle of Gondolin. Knocking Ecthelion's sword out of his hands, Gothmog prepared to strike at him, but, as he raised his axe, Ecthelion ran forward at the Balrog lord, ramming his pointed helmet into the beast's chest and forcing both of them into the Fountain of the King. They breached the northern gates and were later confronted by Ecthelion of the Fountain, whom Gothmog dueled. In FA 510, Gothmog and the forces of Angband besieged the Hidden City of Gondolin. Įcthelion charges Gothmog as they fight to the death. Thereafter, he captured Húrin, father of Túrin Turambar, and dragged him back to Angband. This allowed Gothmog to slay Fingon and beat the body to dust. Angband was a stronghold that was built beneath the Iron Mountains, and under the three gigantic volcanoes of Thrangorodrim, the largest mountains in Middle-earth at the time.
Once you have explored a certain amount of the dungeon you will also get a feeling about how good are the objects lying on the floor of the dungeon. It was destroyed at the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. A dungeon you feel nervous about at 2000’ is way more dangerous than a murderous one at 50’. Gothmog separated Fingon from the main host but was unable to kill Fingon until another Balrog appeared behind the Ñoldorin king and "cast a throng of steel about him". Angband, also known as the Iron Prison, was Melkors 2nd (and last) fortress of Middle-earth. During the Nírnaeth, Gothmog engaged the High King of the Ñoldor, Fingon, in battle. Gothmog reappeared as a general of Angband in several more major conflicts, including the Dagor Aglareb and the Nírnaeth Arnoediad. The Sons of Fëanor arrived and carried the body of their father away, but Fëanor had passed. But at the last Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs, smote him to the ground, inflicting a mortal wound, and the High King of the Ñoldor fell. Soon he stood alone, but long he fought on alone with all the Balrogs. Fëanor came even within sight of Angband, but was ambushed with few Elves about him. Prior to the Revolt of the Ñoldor, he was the High Captain of Angband and given the title "Lord of the Balrogs." ĭuring the Dagor-nuin-Giliath in YT 1498, Fëanor pressed on to Angband with just a small company, and in that hour, the Balrogs issued forth. Gothmog was initially one of the Maiar who gave their allegiance to Melkor.
