Where Glorfindel fell (Big Glorfindel's series 16)

Glorfindel's body after he fall from the cliff with Balrog later borne up by Thorondor, King of the Eagles. He flew down into the abyss to rescue Glorfindel's broken body, returning it to his people who buried him high on the cliffs of the mountains that surrounded Gondolin.

It was said that yellow flowers (possibly celandine) grew on his mound, despite its rocky location.

The fiery combat sparked the phrase "Glorfindel against the Balrog" among the Eldar, on occasions when a power of good was hopelessly outmatched by powers of evil.
