It was in the southern part of the city, and Salgant dwelt near its square. During the Fall of Gondolin, Turgon sent Salgant to the Great Market to reinforce Glorfindel and the house of the Golden Flower, but being deep in his cowardice, Salgant lied to his company, the host of the Harp, and took them to the Lesser Market.
