Thorondor is an ally to the Noldoli that helps them escape from the Orcs after the fall of Gondolin. It is revealed in a future document that Thorondor has always protected the Noldoli by using his eagles as spies for Ulmo and guards for the rivers outside of the city. Thorondor despises Morgoth for imprisoning his eagles and works alongside Ulmo to slow Morgoth’s corruption from reaching the Noldoli
