In briefanswer capsule

Egalmoth leads the archers of Gondolin in the earliest telling of the city's fall. His people are described by their gear: shields the colour of the open sky, each boss a cluster of seven stones, an opal in every helm. He himself wears a mantle worked with stars in crystal and carries a curved blade, which no other of his kin did, though the bow is the weapon he trusts. He belongs to the draft layer: the published Silmarillion leaves the lords of that errand unnamed.
