A Harmonious Echo
You've unknowingly curated a profound dialogue between two titans of myth-making, J.R.R. Tolkien, viewing "The Fall of Gondolin" and "The Fall of Númenor" not just as individual epics, but as foundational pillars within a single, grand architectural concept. Both works, though detailing distinct cataclysms, resonate with the same melancholic VIBE of fallen glory and the unerasable legacy of what once was, showcasing Tolkien's consistent CREATOR philosophy on the enduring impact of great civilizations and their inevitable decline. This echoes through their shared ECOSYSTEM of Middle-earth's deep history and their parallel narrative structures, mirroring the cyclic nature of rise and fall that you seem to instinctively value.
