Beleriand and Realms of The North | Photoshop 2013, updated 2023
Map drawing by myself, with Thangorodrim, compass rose and tengwar frame by Ominous. Based on on maps by J.R.R. Tolkien in The History of Middle-earth vol. XI, Christopher Tolkien in The Silmarillion, Karen Wynn Fonstad in The Atlas of Middle-earth and invaluable tips from Ominous and M.L., without whom the map would be incomplete.

Gondolin
Gondolin City Map | Photoshop 2017/2022
A map of Gondolin from The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. Done again with support of my favorite Tolkien loremasters Ominous and M.L. But this time in large amount it is result of guessing and constructing based on descriptions from The Fall of Gondolin (The Book of Lost Tales II) and the map from The Atlas of Middle-earth.
Digital drawing done in Photoshop, 2017, colored 2022/2023. Gondolin by night is still a work in progress.

The XII Houses of Gondolin
The XII Houses of Gondolin
Placement of the XII Houses of Gondolin on the map, based on The Fall of Gondolin. Names and some of the descriptions are based on The Silmarillion and other publications. In my interpretation there is a fortress for every of the twelve houses within the city walls, and the houses serve as military centers (with armories, training rooms, barracks etc.). Fortresses are placed on the outer parts of the city and a few in the center - should citizens need to hide behind walls there is always a hideout in the neighborhood. The placement itself is mostly a guess. The closest to description in The Fall of Gondolin is the House of the Harp, which was placed north of the Lesser Market.
