Description

Now  who shall tell of the wanderings of Tuor and the exiles of Gondolin in the wastes that lie beyond the mountains to the south of the vale of Tumladin? Miseries were theirs and death, colds and hungers, and ceaseless watches. That they won ever through those regions infested by Melko’s evil came from the great slaughter and damage done to his power in that assault, and from the speed and weariness with which Tuor led them; for of a certain Melko knew of that escape and war furious thereat. Um had heard tidings in the far oceans of the deeds that were done, but he could not yet aid them for they were far from waters and rivers - and indeed the thirsted solely, and they knew not the way.

Speed painting of the day (the elves wandered a lot in the First Age, that’s for sure! D: )
