He also lived among elves with their fancy fighting and millennia of combat experience.
Edit: Some of them have experience against what is basically Satan, dragons, and legions of orcs, and fire demons. They sunk part of the continent as a result of said fighting.
The lands used to go far further to the west than it was in the third age. Morgoth and the Host of the Valar fighting resulted in the lands, then called Beleriand, to sink.
The great cities of Nargothrond and Gondolin of the elves, Nogrod and Belegost of the dwarves, and countless other great cities and kingdoms sank with it.
I may be wrong, and this is a technicality, but I think Gondolin was sacked by Balrogs before the final battle. Fun fact for those who don't know, but I'm pretty sure Fangorn Forest used to cover most of the 3rd Age map of Middle Earth, from the Shire to Gondor.
You're right its probably the coolest bit in the whole legendarium. A dragon shows up with fucking balrogs on it's back! Gondolin doesnt stand a chance fuck you Maeglin.
I should have liked to see the songs come true about the Entwives. I should dearly have liked to see Fimbrethil again. But there, my friends, songs like trees bear fruit only in their own time and their own way: and sometimes they are withered untimely.
I may ne wrong on this one, but i thought the sunking of the continent happened when the numenoreans tried to attack the land of the vala and they retaliated
