== History ==
Cirith Thoronath was the place through which the refugees from the Fall of Gondolin made their escape after passing through Idril's secret way. It was here that they were set upon by a Balrog (possibly Lungorthin, the second Lord of Balrogs) who was challenged by Glorfindel, leading to a fierce battle between the two. After ruining its helmet and piercing its belly with a dagger (potentially Sting), Glorfindel was dragged by the fire demon over a nearby cliff, with both falling to their deaths.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. II: The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, chapter III: "The Fall of Gondolin"
== Etymology ==
