Well, I was reading my Tolkien dictionary and I made this odd discovery about Gothmog. Here is what it said. Gothmog: Balrog of Angband. Mightiest of Morgoth's lieutenants, Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, was a Maia spirit of fire in his origin. Along with the other Balrogs, he revolted with Morgoth against the Valar and made war on them and the Elves. At his master's bidding he slew High King Feanor before the gates of Angband. Throughout the Wars of Beleriand, Gothmog wreaked terrible vengeance with his whips of fire (remember, he is a Balrog^) and his black axe. During the Battle of Unnumbered Tears he slew Fingon and captured Hurin In the year 511 of the first Age he successfully led the forces of darkness against Gondolin. Leading the Balrog host, the Orc and Dragon legions, and surrounded by his Body-Guard of Trolls, Gothmog overwhelmed the defenders of the last Noldor kingdom. During the sack of the city itself, Gothmog slew and was slain by the Noldor Elf Ecthelion, the high captain of Gondolin. Wow! That was a lot of things to copy out of my book! Well, that's it! If you want more facts, just tell me below.
