There Túrin gains the favour of King Orodreth, and after leading the Elves to considerable victories, he becomes Orodreth's chief counsellor and commander of his forces. Túrin and Gwindor proceed to Nargothrond. Túrin takes Anglachel but remains witless with grief. He refuses to leave Beleg's body until morning, when Gwindor is able to bury the elf. When a flash of lightning reveals Beleg's face, Túrin realises his mistake and falls into a frenzy. Túrin, mistaking Beleg for an orc, kills Beleg with his own sword. Beleg begins to cut Túrin's bonds with his sword Anglachel, but the sword slips in his hand and cuts Túrin. They enter the orc camp at night and carry Túrin, asleep, from the camp. Beleg escapes his bonds and pursues Túrin.īeleg happens across a mutilated elf, Gwindor of Nargothrond, sleeping in the forest of Taur-nu-Fuin. They take Túrin off towards Angband, leaving Beleg chained to a rock. The entire band is killed, save for Beleg and Túrin. Mîm betrays the outlaws to orcs, leading the orcs to the caves where Túrin's company is taken unawares. The outlaws resent the elf's presence and Mîm, disliking Elves, grows to hate him. Beleg decides to return to Túrin, who welcomes him. Túrin and his men capture Mîm, a Petty-dwarf, who leads them to the caves at Amon Rûdh. Beleg delivers the message of the king's pardon but Túrin refuses to return to Doriath. Túrin returns in time to cut Beleg free and, horrified by the outlaws' actions, resolves to forsake the cruel habits he has fallen into. Beleg locates the band while Túrin is absent, and the outlaws leave him tied to a tree until he agrees to give them information. Túrin meanwhile joins a band of outlaws in the wild and eventually becomes their captain. Thingol pardons the absent Túrin and gives Beleg leave to search for him and bring him back to Doriath. Túrin refuses to return to Doriath to face judgement and opts for exile and life as an outlaw. Túrin accidentally causes the death of Saeros, who attempts to jump a ravine while fleeing a wrothful Túrin but falls to his death. During his time in Doriath Túrin befriends Beleg, and the two become close companions. King Thingol of Doriath takes Túrin as a foster-son. Morgoth had placed a curse upon Húrin and all his family whereby evil would befall them for their whole lives. In his absence Morwen gave birth to Niënor, a girl. Húrin was taken prisoner by Morgoth after the Battle of Unnumbered Tears and during his imprisonment Túrin was sent by his mother, Morwen, to live in the Elf-realm Doriath for protection. Túrin, son of Húrin is a Man who lived in Dor-lómin. Dor-lómin is top left Doriath, centre Nargothrond, centre left. Sketch map of Beleriand in the First Age. The House of Bëor is destroyed and the Elves and Edain suffer heavy losses however, many realms remain unconquered, including Dor-lómin, where the lordship has passed to Húrin Thalion. Later, other Men enter Beleriand, the Easterlings, many of whom are in secret league with Morgoth.Įventually Morgoth manages to break the Siege of Angband in the Battle of Sudden Flame. The House of Bëor rules over the land of Ladros, the Folk of Haleth retreat to the forest of Brethil, and the lordship of Dor-lómin is granted to the House of Hador. Most of the Elves welcome them, and they are given fiefs throughout Beleriand. These are the Edain, descendants of those Men who have rebelled against the rule of Morgoth's servants and journeyed westward. Three centuries pass, during which the first Men appear in Beleriand. Together with the Sindar of Beleriand, they proceed to lay siege to Angband, and establish new strongholds and realms in Middle-earth, including Hithlum ruled by Fingon, Nargothrond by Finrod Felagund and Gondolin by Turgon. In addition, after some time the Noldorin Elves forsake Valinor and pursue Morgoth to Middle-earth in order to take vengeance upon him. However, the Elves manage to stay his assault, and most of their realms remain unconquered one of the most powerful of these is Doriath, ruled by Thingol. From his fortress of Angband he endeavours to gain control of the whole of Middle-earth, unleashing a war with the Elves that dwell in the land of Beleriand to the south. It begins five hundred years before the action of the book, when Morgoth, a Vala and the prime evil power, escapes from the Blessed Realm of Valinor to the north-west of Middle-earth. The history and descent of the main characters are given as the leading paragraphs of the book, and the back story is elaborated upon in The Silmarillion.
