The Beginning of the End of Turin

The Beginning of the End of Turin.

Nienor arrives on the Scene,( Hint: This is not a good thing.)

So we left Turin traumatised by a Dragon, eventually he couldn't take any more home truths about his personality and fled back home to Mummy. The Dragon however made a nest out of poor Finrod's gold.......which turned out to be quite a lot.......and went to sleep, as Dragons do.

Sadly for Turin by the time he got home, ( it was quite a long way and rather cold) his Mother was nowhere to be seen. He was rather upset by this as it had been a long trip and he obviously had rather a lot of laundry that needed doing so he stumbled into the house of a random Easterling called Brodda, held a sword to his throat and demanded information....as you do.

"She's gone to Doriath looking for you, you idiot!" was the response and the thought of having to carry his laundry all the way back where he had come from was too much for Turin. He slaughtered them all, Brodda and all other random household visitors. For some reason Tolkien seems to think this was quite acceptable behaviour. Nobody blinks an eye. 
Something tells me Gaudring's attempt at psychotherapy was less than successful.

After wandering around annoying people for a while Turin finally remembers he was supposed to be rescuing Finduilas. 
"Oh my gosh, what am I doing? " he cried but it was too late, way, way too late. She was dead of course. A good opportunity for Turin to wallow in another bout of self pitying grief.......remember after Beleg?  

He decided this was a good time for another name change, "Bloodstained Son of Ill Fate" must have been wearing thin, ( It was a bit of a mouthful). This time he picked something shorter but no less depressing. Turambar, Master of Doom.

Meanwhile back in Doriath Turin's Mum was not happy at him missing curfew and set out to find him.....and of course his little sister Neinor had to follow. Thingol, probably wishing by this stage he had never laid eyes on Turin or any of his family sent Mablung,(another awesome elf with much too small a part ), out to find them. 

Showing what could only be called a giant lack of common sense they headed to Nargothrond. There is a Dragon there guys remember....

They found the Dragon. 
The Dragon wasn't pleased to see them.
Several elves ended up more than a bit scorched around the edges. 
Turin's Mum was one of them, ( although obviously not an elf,)........much to Thingol's relief she was never seen again.
Neinor was conveniently ensorcelled into forgetfulness and poor old Mablung was left to try and drag her back to civilisation.
You can see what's coming can't you? She escaped him and ran through the forest naked........... now can you remember someone who liked chasing naked people through forests?

Turin.

And when he found her as he inevitably did, well that's when his story started to get really, really bad.

You ain't seen nothing yet.
