Also known as: King Of Eagles
The greatest of all Eagles, with a wingspan said to reach thirty fathoms (180 feet). Thorondor was the King of Eagles in the First Age. He scarred Morgoth's face when the Dark Lord fought Fingolfin, and he rescued Fingolfin's body from before the gates of Angband. He also rescued Maedhros from Thangorodrim (with Fingon) and carried Beren and Luthien from Angband after they recovered the Silmaril. His eyrie was upon the peaks of the Crissaegrim near Gondolin.
