The first two, Gondolin and Nargothrond were two great elvish cities
of Tolkien's Simarillion, the third, Moria was a ruined Dwarvish city
from LOTR.

Some fundies actually do think that LOTR is on par with Harry Potter -
it has wizards and magic in it, THEREFORE IT IS EVIL.

The scary part of this is that these people frequently end up getting
their way, in terms of banning books in schools etc.
