Salgant, Lord of the House of the Harp – R.Wesley Nipper 2017
“…Behind them came the host of the Harp, and this was a battalion of brave warriors; but their leader Salgant was a craven, and he fawned upon Maeglin. They were dight with tassels of silver and tassels of gold, and a harp of silver shone in their blazonry upon a field of black; but Salgant bore one of gold, and he alone rode into battle of all the sons of the Gondolithrim, and he was heavy and squat.” –from The Book of Lost Tales vol. II
Maeglin’s friend, Eärendil’s babysitter, and my personal favorite lord of Gondolin: Salgant. Best elf, A+, canonically chubby, you-can’t-prove-he-didn’t-survive-the-Fall-of-Gondolin-by-being-adopted-and-made-Official-Dragon-Babysitter-by-Melkor, fight me.
