Beren and LÃºthien	comment	Beren and LÃºthien is a Dark Fantasy/Romance tale by J. R. R. Tolkien, one of the three "Great Tales" of the First Age (the other two being The Children of HÃºrin and The Fall of Gondolin), and one of the main tales of the Tolkien's Legendarium. Tolkien began working in the story in 1917, writing many versions of the tale, both in prose and poetry, throughout his life, but never finishing any of them (except for the original The Tale of TinÃºviel, which does not fit with the wider, more elaborate mythos due to being such an early work). The story was posthumously published by his son Christopher Tolkien who, lacking a finished and updated version, opted for presenting the different versions in chronological order, interspersing Cantos of the Lay of Leithian with prose fragments of The Silmarillion to patch up a continuous narrative.Morgoth has broken the Siege of Angband, and his forces are spreading across the North of Beleriand, attacking both Elves and their Men allies. However, his army is held from invading Nargothrond by Barahir, leader of the House of Beor, a tribe of Men who rule over Dorthonion and serve King Finrod Felagund. Morgoth sends Sauron at the helm of an army of Orcs, wolves and werewolves to conquer the country, and eventually all Dorthonion's outlaws are killedâ€¦except by Barahir's son, Beren, who is forced to flee towards the South.After a harrowing journey through cursed lands, Beren enters the Elven Kingdom of Doriath, and meets princess LÃºthien in the woods. Beren and LÃºthien fall in love, but her father King Thingol is not willing to allow anybody to marry his daughter. So, he challenges Beren to bring a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown, expecting him to give up or try and get killed.Unfortunately, Thingol underestimates the depths of Beren and LÃºthien's love, their stubbornness and how far they are willing to go for each other.

When Celegorm and his brother Curufin attempt to murder LÃºthien and nearly murder Beren, Huan abandons Celegorm for good: and it is said that no dog of any kind would love or obey Celegorm ever again.

Beren and LÃºthien / int_18ca6144	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography: The Quest for the Silmaril always begins in a beautiful, ancient wood. Then it proceeds through the Pass of Sirion, a valley controlled by Sauron and his wolves, right next to the Mountains of Terror. As Beren and LÃºthien continue northward, the haunted lands of Dorthonion give way to the scorched and barren Thirsty Plains. As they progress, the badlands get progressively worse and steeper until the heroic duo reach the towering Iron Mountains and the fortress of the first Dark Lord.

When only Beren and Finrod are left, Beren considers confessing everything in exchange for Finrod's life and freedom, and he is promptly chastised by his King for believing Sauron would let the lord of Dorthonion and the king of Nargothrond go. An evil chuckle lets them know that Sauron has heard everything, meaning Finrod's men died in vain.

Huan, the giant wolfhound, is also allowed speak human language only three times before dying. It is implied that they can talk because they are Maiar spirits incarnated in animal bodies.

Beren, Barahir, and their ten companions stayed behind because they refused to abandon the land to Morgoth. After being rescued from Sauron's fortress, Beren could have simply abandoned Thingol's ludicrously dangerous engagement challenge and eloped with LÃºthien. Nonetheless, he continued the Quest of the Silmaril because he promised he would bring one to Thingol in exchange for being allowed to marry his daughter.

Beren and LÃºthien / int_661d7909	comment	Maligned Mixed Marriage: The very first such Man/Elf couple had to overcome the racism of LÃºthien's father Thingol, who considered any mortal beneath his daughter and made totally impossible demands. Ironically, Thingol himself was married to an angel (one who didn't object to her daughter marrying a human). Admittedly, in the case of Beren and LÃºthien the racial difference is unusually relevant: after Beren dies of old age, LÃºthien's soul passed out of the world with his instead of joining the other elven souls in the Halls of Mandos. This made LÃºthien the first elf ever to truly die, and Thingol knew, apparently due to some level of prophecy, that this would happen should LÃºthien marry a human.

Enter Beren, who does not care for shiny jewels but is given the impossible task to bring one Silmaril to Thingol in exchange for his daughter's hand, and LÃºthien, who has no use for Silmarils either, but will not leave Beren alone...and they achieve out of love for each other what whole armies driven by pride, ambition, greed and revenge failed to do. Their love also proves to be stronger than the laws of metaphysics when Beren dies and his soul lingers in the Halls of Mandos instead of abandoning the world forever -as Humans are meant to-, because his wife asked him to wait for her.

Beren insists on trying to carry out the Impossible Engagement Challenge when LÃºthien asks him to just run off with her because he swore he would take one Silmaril from Morgoth's crown. The Elven Lord Finrod Felagund makes an oath to Beren's father Barahir to always help him or his kin after the latter saves his life. This leads to Finrod leaving his realm and people to go with Beren on his quest. He dies saving Beren's life. Subverted in one early version wherein Celegorm, who is Nargothrond's rightful leader, forsakes the Oath and helps Beren out.

Morgoth (or Sauron, depending on the version of the tale), promises to do so, and after Gorlim has betrayed to Morgoth the hideout of Barahir and his outlaw band, he reunites Gorlim with Eilinel by killing him. Gorlim did not see his wife, but a hallucination cast by Sauron. When Thingol was trying to get LÃºthien to reveal the name of her lover, he promised that if she told him, her lover would be neither killed nor imprisoned, or as Thingol put it, "Neither blade nor chain his flesh shall mar." When he finds out that her lover is the mortal Beren, he tries to weasle out of that oath, first by threatening to imprison Beren in a labyrinth where he technically wouldn't be chained, then by sending Beren to fetch one of the Silmarils. Thingol told: "Bring to me in your hand a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown; and then, if she will, LÃºthien may set her hand in yours." And Beren replied: "And when we meet again my hand shall hold a Silmaril from the Iron Crown; for you have not looked the last upon Beren son of Barahir." When they meet again, Beren cannot show the Silmaril because his hand got bitten off by Carcharoth, but he points his hand is still holding one, therefore he fulfilled his vow.

And he does not care either for Beren being obviously not a bad person, since he was able to walk through his kingdom's magic barrier. He only cares about his beloved daughter being wooed by one baseborn, scruffy mortal who creeps around as Morgoth's spies and thralls. When Beren protests he does not deserve such disrespect, Thingol still doesn't care, and sends him on an impossible quest to get rid of him.

Beren and LÃºthien / int_f85354eb	type	Attempted Rape
Beren and LÃºthien / int_f85354eb	comment	Attempted Rape: Celegorm kidnaps LÃºthien with the intention of forcing her to marry him, which is considered rape in the eyes of the Elven Laws. However, she sneaks out with Huan's help before he can do so. When Morgoth finds LÃºthien sneaking around his fortress, he makes very clear what he does intend to do to her, rambling about "a pretty toy for idle hour", "crushing a beautiful flower" and "slaking the sting of his hunger with a morsel". Before he can touch her, though, LÃºthien slips from his grasp and tricks him into letting her use her magic arts by stating that kings are supposed to listen to petitioners. LÃºthien then performs a magic dance which puts Morgoth and his whole court to sleep. For when Morgoth wakes up, LÃºthien is long gone.

Beren and LÃºthien / int_fb463c65	comment	Self-Guarding Phlebotinum: The Silmarils were hallowed by Varda the Star-Maker and burn any evil creature touching them while sparing good creatures. Hence, Beren suffers no harm whatsoever when he grabs a Silmaril, whereas Carcharoth begins burning from the inside out when he bites Beren's hand off and swallows the Silmaril down.

Beren and LÃºthien / int_fc33ff16	comment	One-Winged Angel: It happens to Sauron when he faces LÃºthien and Huan on the Isle of the Werewolves. Starting off in a fair form, he attempts to defeat Huan by switching to huge scary werewolf mode, then realizes he's in trouble and does a lot of rapid shapeshifting to no avail. When he strikes a bargain with LÃºthien, giving her mastery over the island in return for freedom, he shifts into a vampire/bat-thing shape to escape.
