House of the Heavenly Arch

The house of the Heavenly Arch was one of the twelve houses of the Elves of Gondolin in the First Age. Their leader was Egalmoth.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. II: The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, chapter III: "The Fall of Gondolin"
The Elves of this house wore vesture of many vivid colors, as The Heavenly Arch was a kenning for the rainbow. Along with those of the house of the Swallow, these Elves were the finest archers in Gondolin, and some of the greatest swordsmen. Their weapons were set with bright jewels, and their shields were blue, bearing in the middle seven precious minerals of color.
== History ==
At Gondolin's defeat by Morgoth's host in FA 510, bowmen of the Heavenly Arch fired many volleys of arrows upon enemy Orcs at the city's northern walls. As the odds of the onslaught turned slowly against the Gondolindrim, these defenders retreated to the Place of the Fountain, along with others, where Tuor gathered them. By the end of the battle, few warriors of the House of the Heavenly Arch had escaped and lived on.
