  1. Turin_Turambar

    Did any prophecy hint at Turin's triumph over Ancalagon?

    The Prophecy of Nargothrond

    Unfinished Tales Thus Gwindor spoke. How do you suppose the Elves of Nargothrond prophecied this? And when they did do you think that they thought it would be one of the Edain? Do you think that they even thought that the messenger would be guided by a Silmaril? What do you think of this...
