Gallants of the White Wing

Intro:

When he came to Gondolin, Tuor introduced himself as one of the house of the Swan of the Men of the North. He was accepted and loved by the Gondothlim, and lived there for many years. But when his wife Idril felt that ruin was near, she asked him to gather the most trustful men among the Gondothlim and tell them about their secret way and its issue. She would ask her father to allow Tuor to have his own folk as a proper lord.

Thus was made the new house, which was added to the eleven houses of the Gondothlim, and the folk of the Wing was accounted the twelfth. They wore wings as of swans or gulls upon their helms, and the emblem of Tuor, the White Wing, was upon their shields. Its people were the stoutest folk of Gondolin. During the Fall of Gondolin, the House of the Wing fought valiantly against the traitorous House of the Mole and Maeglin, Orcs, Balrogs, and Dragons. After retreating to the Square of the King, the remaining Gondolindrim were ordered by Turgon to flee. It is presumed that the remainder of the House of the Wing suffered the same fate as the rest of the Exiles of Gondolin.
