The root of the name moko translated to "hate". Gothmog was briefly conceived as a "son of Melkor and the ogress Fluithuin", and went by the name of Kosomot. Gothmog is a Quenya name, of the terms gos or goth ("dread") and -mbaw ("compel, force, subject, oppress"). The waters quenched the flames of Gothmog and drowned both him and Ecthelion, ending the Battle of Gondolin. Fingolfin and his people smote upon the gates of Angband but were not answered. Knocking Ecthelion's sword out of his hands, Gothmog prepared to strike at him, but, as he raised his axe, Ecthelion ran forward at the Balrog lord, ramming his pointed helmet into the beast's chest and forcing both of them into the Fountain of the King. In the hour of Fanors death, Morgoth sent a messenger conceding defeat. They breached the northern gates and were later confronted by Ecthelion of the Fountain, whom Gothmog dueled. In FA 510, Gothmog and the forces of Angband besieged the Hidden City of Gondolin. Įcthelion charges Gothmog as they fight to the death. It is named after the fortress of Morgoth in Tolkiens works, with 'Angband' literally meaning 'Iron Prison' (or 'Hell of Iron'). It was created by Alex Cutler and Andy Astrand at Warwick University in 1990. Thereafter, he captured Húrin, father of Túrin Turambar, and dragged him back to Angband. Angband is a freeware roguelike based loosely on the works of J. This allowed Gothmog to slay Fingon and beat the body to dust. Gothmog separated Fingon from the main host but was unable to kill Fingon until another Balrog appeared behind the Ñoldorin king and "cast a throng of steel about him". Angband was a stronghold that was built beneath the Iron Mountains, and under the three gigantic volcanoes of Thrangorodrim, the largest mountains in Middle-earth at the time. It was destroyed at the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. During the Nírnaeth, Gothmog engaged the High King of the Ñoldor, Fingon, in battle. Angband, also known as the Iron Prison, was Melkors 2nd (and last) fortress of Middle-earth. Gothmog reappeared as a general of Angband in several more major conflicts, including the Dagor Aglareb and the Nírnaeth Arnoediad. The Sons of Fëanor arrived and carried the body of their father away, but Fëanor had passed. But at the last Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs, smote him to the ground, inflicting a mortal wound, and the High King of the Ñoldor fell. Soon he stood alone, but long he fought on alone with all the Balrogs. Fëanor came even within sight of Angband, but was ambushed with few Elves about him. Prior to the Revolt of the Ñoldor, he was the High Captain of Angband and given the title "Lord of the Balrogs." ĭuring the Dagor-nuin-Giliath in YT 1498, Fëanor pressed on to Angband with just a small company, and in that hour, the Balrogs issued forth. Gothmog was initially one of the Maiar who gave their allegiance to Melkor. ![]() The death of Fëanor at the hands of Gothmog, by LuisFBejarano
