This week, we establish Maeglin in Gondolin and the Men in the West as we move through the end of Chapter XVII of the Quenta Silmarillion in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. Does the Maeglin apple fall far from the Eöl tree? Why are the connections and distinctions between languages so important? What did the elves learn from the Valar when it comes to welcoming new arrivals?
