  Narn i Hîn Húrin- Túrin Turambar

  Sep 4, 202614 minS8

  After the Nirnaeth Arnoediad , Húrin- a great man of the Edain- was captured by Morgoth and was greatly pressed for information. Húrin was brought before Morgoth, for he had learnt from his spies that Húrin was friends with Turgon, and was tortured for the secret of Gondolin's location.

Looking upon her one last time, Beren died of his wounds, and his spirit found its way into the west, to the shores of the Outer Sea .

There she sang a song of such woe, and beauty, and lamentation, that even Mandos was moved to pity. He summoned Beren's spirit, and there the two were reunited. But it was not within the power of Mandos to change the fates of the Children of Ilúvatar , so he went to Manwë , who sought counsel from Eru in his innermost thought, where the will of Ilúvatar was revealed to him...
