Of the Ruin of Doriath
Of the Ruin of Doriath
This chapter begins with what is really a sort of ending for the last chapter. Quote:
Now clearly, Húrin wasn’t a happy camper, because he saw all that Morgoth had done to his family, but this was seen in the way Morgoth wanted him to see it, and Morgoth tried to throw a bad light on Thingol and Melian’s part in the whole thing. But he decided it was time to let Húrin go and see of what use he could be put. He (very badly apparently) feigned mercy. Húrin was no idiot, and clearly saw through Morgoth’s act, but thus being no idiot, also took his freedom. This was a year after Túrin’s death, and a full 28 years since the fateful day of the Nirnaeth when Húrin was captured. He was old, and looked it, but stood tall and proud, walked with a staff and carried a sword. In Hithlum the Easterlings left him alone, as did the remainders of his own people (because they thought him in league with Angband.) Húrin was an extremely bitter man by now, but wandered somewhat aimlessly until he saw the Crissaegrim, and remembered Turgon. So he went to what was (unbeknownst to him) the remainder of the old way of escape, now blocked, and he could not see the eagles. So he called out, but Turgon feared Húrin’s allegiance as well. Later he sent eagles to find him, but he was gone. This also was how Morgoth discovered the general area of Gondolin. One night while sleeping he heard Morwen calling to him and it seemed as if her voice was coming from Brethil, so he went there, and found her on the night of her death. Quote:

It is interesting that a minstrel wrote a seemingly prophetic song, which stated that, this mound and stone would remain, and it was not submerged in Beleriand’s ruin, and became Tol Morwen. Quote:
