The Eyes and Ears of Morgoth by Chilled in Hithlum

Fanwork Information

Summary:

I recently revisited my first submission called The Eyes and Ears of Melkor (still listed) and found it somewhat lacking. Obviously the outline was already set by Professor Tolkien and in this alone the idea holds up, so I decided to have another crack at telling the tale of Húrin's captivity from his and Morgoth's point of view.

Major Characters: Húrin, Melkor
