The House of the Wing was one of the Twelve Houses of the Gondothlim led by Tuor in Gondolin. They wore wings as of swans or gulls upon their helms, and the emblem of the White Wing was upon their shields. They were the stoutest of the folk of Gondolin. They were apparently one of the smaller houses, for the House of the Mole outnumbered them when they came to arms during the Fall of Gondolin. They fought alongside the House of the Fountain at the breach in the wall. They went on before the rest of the exiles during the escape through Idril's Secret Way, cutting their way out of the hosts and making to the mountains. They were under Hendor, a house-carle of Idril, who carried Eärendil upon his back.
