Welcome to Gondolin!

I have come to learn some strange things while in Gondolin and adjusting to the surroundings. Aside from meeting the family members who had died before I was born, and attempting to learn my way around the place, I've come to a decision regarding the training I've had at home, and done something that I think my grandfather, aunt and uncles still left at home would be proud of, were I able to speak to them about it now, and what my mother and father would smile at, but perhaps not act so surprised over. I've applied for a position on the council of nobles here.

( In which Elfwine meets Turgon and gets a job. )

And now I'm left with more questions than I had before; I cannot deny that much. It puzzles me that I am the last of the kings of the mark that anyone has heard of in the records here. I cannot say I know the answer or what is to come, but with any luck, I will have answers in the days ahead.

I am also puzzled that I am the first of my countrymen to step up and take a place in the council. It hardly makes sense considering the ancestors I've met here that they would not want to do the same.

Questions to ponder, I suppose. And so many more things to learn.
