Summary:
He could tell people. Warn Gondolin of its impending doom. Maybe with preparation, they could oppose the might of Angband—no, they couldn’t.
But to fight or not was Gondolin’s choice. They should be informed. The best choices were informed choices.

Maeglin is captured. Maeglin confesses. -- and Maeglin tries to carry on.
