In briefanswer capsule

Caragdûr is a black-rock precipice on the northern face of Amon Gwareth, the hill of Gondolin. After Aredhel died from Eöl's poisoned javelin, Turgon granted no clemency. Eöl was led to that sheer drop and thrown from the city walls. Maeglin watched in silence while his father cursed him and foretold a like end. The deed seemed just to Gondolin, yet Idril thereafter distrusted her kinsman.
