My first submission for this year's @fall-for-tolkien S&D event! Fingon and Turgon reunite during the Battle of Unnumbered Tears for the first time since Turgon went away to Gondolin. I wonder how that'll turn out! :'''D

At the shores of Nevrast Turgon and his followers built the city Vinyamar; after Gondolin was constructed, Vinyamar was abandoned. His people only left Gondolin once again to help in the battle that would be known as the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. After Fingon died in that battle, Turgon became the High King of the Noldor in Beleriand.

One problem I have with Tolkien’s approach toward Galadriel's characterization in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales is that her desire for her own kingdom to rule is painted as a bad thing that she needs to let go of. She’s “proud” for wanting that kind of position and needs to be humbled enough to realize she shouldn’t. But the text never depicts Fingolfin or Fingon or Turgon or Finrod or Aragorn - or any of the male characters who become rulers - as wrong for having the same aspiration.
