Gate of Bronze

3rd Gate of Gondolin

The Gate of Bronze was the third of the Seven Gates of Gondolin.

History

The Gate of Bronze was the third of the Seven Gates of Gondolin, in shape a wall spanning the Orfalch Echor mounted by three square towers, roofed and "clad" in bright copper. The double-door hung with shields and bronze plates, wrought with many figures and strange signs. There were many red lamps along the wall, which made the copper and bronze shine like fire. In the court beyond the gate was a company of guards larger than the ones at the Gate of Stone. These guards were mostly Sindar of Nevrast, carrying red-bladed axes and wearing mail which "glowed like dull fire". They were possibly members of the Guard of some captain or chieftain and later had some representation at the high sward overlooking Tumladen under the Warden of the Great Gate. The gate followed the Gate of Stone and was followed by the Gate of Writhen Iron.
