Gondolindrim

The Gondolindrim, sometimes called the Hidden People, were the Elves of the city of Gondolin and the people of Turgon, in Beleriand.
They were made up of both exiled Ñoldor from Valinor and Sindarin Elves. They were strong in mind, body, and spirit, and became highly skilled in arts and crafts, and were small and lithe.The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, Ch. III, The Fall of Gondolin (chapter) They spoke Gondolidhren.Parma Eldalamberon 22, Part four: "The Beleriandic or Exilic Usage", pgs. 34, 36
==History==
The Gondolindrim lived in peace and prosperity for nearly five centuries, trusting in the secrecy of their hidden city and taking no part in the Battles of Beleriand, save for the Nírnaeth Arnoediad. Fortunately for them, the secret of Gondolin was preserved at that battle thanks to the bravery of the Men of Dor-lómin. However, their secret would not remain hidden for much longer as others such as Húrin were used in finding Gondolin's location; later, a threat from within caused its fall.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XVIII: "Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin"
Eöl's son, Maeglin, greatly resented losing the affection of the Elf-maiden that he desired, Idril,The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XVI: "Of Maeglin" and was jealous of Tuor, whom she loved. He betrayed the people of Gondolin after being captured by Morgoth. This led to the Fall of Gondolin and the near destruction of its people; however, a group of them was saved by Tuor and Idril and the bravery of Glorfindel.The remaining Gondolindrim fled to the Havens of Sirion, where they mourned greatly for the loss of their city. There they lived in peace under the lordship of Tuor and Idril, and later of their son Eärendil, until the deadly attack on the refuge by the Sons of Fëanor who sought the recovery of the Silmaril. Almost all Gondolindrim were slain by them; any survivors ultimately went over the Great Sea to the Undying Lands.Unfinished Tales, Part One: The First Age, I: "Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin"The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIII: "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin"
