This week we begin the end of our series on the Three Great Tales Of The Elder Days with our first of five episodes covering The Tale Of The Fall Of Gondolin! This is the last of the Three Great Tales, and Tolkien's epic story of hope among destruction. It is remembered and referenced multiple times throughout the legendarium, including in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. This Tale is also significant because it is the first Middle-Earth story J.R.R. Tolkien ever wrote! Tune in as we begin by covering the Canon version of The Fall of Gondolin as found in The Unfinished Tales!
