This list covers the hidden kingdom of Gondolin. Gondolin stood on a plug of rock in the middle of a plain totally enclosed by mountains. The city was heavily populated by a mixture of Noldor and Sindar, all very well-equipped with bright mail and well drilled. Shields were round or kite-shaped, and each regiment had a distinctive emblem and uniform. Turgon led a 10000-strong contingent to the Nirnaeth Arnoediad which formed the reserve command. The ally-general is the traitor Maeglin. He may not command guards. The city was eventually sacked by Gothmog and his dragons; the last of the realms of the Noldor to fall in the first age. The minimum marked * applies only if an Eagle ally-general is used. Only he may command eagles, and all eagles must be in his command.
