Gate of Silver
5th Gate of Gondolin
The Gate of Silver was the fifth of the Seven Gates of Gondolin.
History
The Gate of Silver possessed the shape of a low and broad wall of white marble spanning the Orfalch Echor. The parapet was a trellis of silver between five great globes of marble. The white-robed archers that guarded the gate were stationed here. The gate was in shape as three parts of a circle, and wrought of silver and pearl of Nevrast, in the likeness of the Moon. Above the gate upon the midmost globe was an image of the white Tree Telperion, wrought of silver and malachite, with flowers made of great pearls of Balar. Beyond the gate was a wide, green and white, marble court where there were two hundred archers in silver mail and white-crested helms. There were a hundred on each side, possibly being members of the Guard of some captain or chieftain. They later had some representation at the high sward overlooking Tumladen under the Warden of the Great Gate. This gate followed the Gate of Writhen Iron and was followed by the Gate of Gold.
