The Children of HÃºrin	comment	A Dark Fantasy novel by J. R. R. Tolkien, it was edited posthumously by his son Christopher. Together with Beren and LÃºthien and The Fall of Gondolin, this is one of Tolkien's "Great Tales" of the First Age of Middle-Earth—one of the earliest and most elaborated tales. It exists in many versions, both in prose and in poetry, some almost complete and some as fragments. The various versions and parts have previously been published in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales of NÃºmenor and Middle-earth, and The History of Middle-earth known as Narn i ChÃ®n HÃºrin (aka "The Narn"), but The Children of HÃºrin is the first publication to compile it all into a single complete text.Following the cataclysmic destruction of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, HÃºrin, the greatest of all mortal warriors, was captured by the forces of Morgoth. The Dark Lord offered HÃºrin freedom in return for revealing the location of the Elvish city of Gondolin. HÃºrin refused and the enraged Morgoth cast a curse upon him and his family for all eternity. The remainder of the plot follows HÃºrin's struggling son TÃºrin and daughter NiÃ«nor as the curse winds its way toward a terrible conclusion.The Children of HÃºrin is one of Tolkien's darker works and is less well-known than The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and overturns the common conception of Tolkien as a writer of Black-and-White Morality. There is no happy ending here.An audiobook edition was recorded by Christopher Tolkien (preface, introduction) and Christopher Lee (text).

The Children of HÃºrin / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Saeros already has it out for TÃºrin, but a series of misunderstandings between them bring forth tragedy that could have been avoided with a few simple words or assumptions. When the latter sits on the elf's seat in Thingol's hall, Saeros assumes it was out of spite when in truth it was just an honest mistake from a warrior who was too exhausted and battleworn to worry about proper decorum. Later on, TÃºrin starts thinking about his mother and other unhappy things, prompting him to frown, which Saeros further assumes was aimed at him. This causes tensions to boil and sets in motion the chain of events that lead to Saeros' death and TÃºrin self-imposed exile from Doriath.

The Children of HÃºrin / int_3dcc914f	comment	The human TÃºrin grows up among the Elves of Doriath. Many of these are hostile to mortals, but others are perfectly civil to him (being the King's foster-son tends to work wonders in that department, as does being related to varying degrees with some well-known mortal heroes). (In a previous story "The Tale of Beren and LÃºthien", it is shown Thingol used to be like this but Took a Level in Kindness due to Beren.) One of the less friendly types, Saeros, pushes him one step too far...

The Children of HÃºrin / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: The whole story is one downer ending after another. TÃºrin being exiled from Doriath, the Orcs attacking Amon Rhud and killing all the outlaws except for TÃºrin, Beleg finding TÃºrin, only to be killed by him, and the fall of Nargothrond to the Orcs. Basically, every time it seems like TÃºrin is going to have a happy and peaceful life and escape his fate, something bad happens. In the end, The Hero kills The (literal) Dragon, ridding the world of one of the greatest evils it has ever seen. However, almost all the Elf kingdoms have been destroyed, and their inhabitants killed or enslaved. Most of TÃºrin's friends are dead, with it being either directly or indirectly his own fault. TÃºrin's sister commits suicide when she realizes she accidentally committed incest with her brother and was pregnant by him, and whom she also believes is dead. TÃºrin also kills himself after learning the same, and after killing an innocent man. Hard to be happy after that. The book ends with TÃºrin's mother Morwen dying at her son's grave, and though it's not said in this book, HÃºrin will end up accidentally giving Morgoth almost everything he wants anyway, and HÃºrin realizes his heroic sacrifice just made things worse and all the torture and suffering he and his family went through was for nothing. He finally kills himself, the last of his family, alone and in utter despair.

Many of these are hostile to mortals, but others are perfectly civil to him (being the King's foster-son tends to work wonders in that department, as does being related to varying degrees with some well-known mortal heroes). (In a previous story "The Tale of Beren and LÃºthien", it is shown Thingol used to be like this but Took a Level in Kindness due to Beren.) One of the less friendly types, Saeros, pushes him one step too far... MÃ®m the Petty-Dwarf and his sons are viewed with superstitious loathing by everyone, including other Dwarves. It's mentioned that the Elves used to hunt the Petty-Dwarves like animals for sport note albeit because they didn't know they were people, and the Petty-Dwarves attacked them instead of saying hi, and now only three remain alive. Likewise, the Petty-Dwarves apparently hated everybody, and they greeted the first Elves in Beleriand by hunting them. MÃ®m especially despised the Sindar, but he became friends with TÃºrin since he felt the same about Doriath.

The antagonists are often just as ambiguous, especially MÃ®m, having lost nearly all his people to the Elves and one of his sons to AndrÃ³g. That said, Glaurung and Morgoth aren't ambiguous by any standards.

The Children of HÃºrin / int_7fbb2a3	type	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
The Children of HÃºrin / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: TÃºrin helps the Elves of Nargothrond fortify their city against their encroaching enemies, including the addition of a giant bridge in front of their gates across the River Narog, and encourages them to give up secrecy and go to open warfare. This just shows Morgoth's armies exactly where to find the hidden fortress-city, and he sends the dragon Glaurung to literally smoke them out. The bridge turns out to be just the right size for Glaurung and too sturdy to destroy quickly... Everything TÃºrin does goes awry, all the good he does ends in evil, and he loses everything he loves. That is the whole point of the tale and Morgoth's cruel curse on HÃºrin, who himself, greatest of all mortal warriors and unbending even by Morgoth, still does his handiwork by breaking the people of Brethil and bringing the NauglamÃr to Doriath. And, being one of (up to that point) only two mortals to ever set foot into Gondolin (he was blind-folded and led there in his youth with his brother), HÃºrin later tries to backtrack his steps because he wants to give Turgon one big What the Hell, Hero? speech because he didn't adequately protect his family. And though he doesn't find the hidden city, his desperate cries at the foot of the mountain give Morgoth a big enough hint about Gondolin's whereabouts, with the result that the watchposts he's set up there later find and capture Maeglin, who almost immediately snaps under a mix of threats and promises, thus dooming Gondolin as well. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero indeed. The only thing HÃ¹rin gained from his determination, was to hold Gondolin secret long enough to make sure his brother`s son Tuor got there in time, married Idril, and became father of EÃ¤rendil. His determination did eventually pay off, even if neither HÃºrin or TÃºrin lived long enough to see it. Later, TÃºrin returns to the northern homeland he was exiled from as a child, now ruled by an Easterling chieftain who usurped his father's lordship. He kills this chieftain out of revenge, which sparks a rebellion from the enslaved Edain. This just makes the Easterlings oppress the Edain even harder.

She preferred the forest and was never comfortable in the caves of Menegroth, and as TÃºrin got older and spent more time there they grew apart, though she would secretly watch him whenever he ventured into the forest with Beleg. She witnessed what actually happened when Saeros died, and Beleg calls her to Menegroth to stand before Thingol, where she very nervously gives her testimony, exonerating TÃºrin.

The Children of HÃºrin / int_aec63727	comment	TÃºrin, in one of the first fantasy examples. J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by the tragic anti-heroes of Norse and Finnish mythology when he wrote the character of TÃºrin. At first, he's a Pragmatic Hero as his negative qualities mostly boil down to pride and his gruff nature, but as the novel progresses, he steadily slides down the scale, finally becoming a Nominal Hero when he murders Brandir in cold blood.

And though he doesn't find the hidden city, his desperate cries at the foot of the mountain give Morgoth a big enough hint about Gondolin's whereabouts, with the result that the watchposts he's set up there later find and capture Maeglin, who almost immediately snaps under a mix of threats and promises, thus dooming Gondolin as well.

The Children of HÃºrin / int_ef2582c3	comment	Named Weapons: Many special (and less special) weapons having names exist in Tolkien's stories and this is no exception: Beleg's bow Belthronding, and the sister-swords Anguirel and Anglachel, the latter renamed Gurthang by TÃºrin.

The Children of HÃºrin / int_f0e85546	type	Unbuilt Trope
The Children of HÃºrin / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: Let's see, it's an epic Dark Fantasy novel featuring incest, the fate of a family over the course of an epic struggle, a morally ambiguous Dwarf, loads and loads of Black and Grey Morality, a sinister supernatural force encroaching from the north and a serious downer ending. And it's got nothing to do with George R.R. Martin.

The Children of HÃºrin / int_f1d2c779	comment	Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: TÃºrin has black hair, pale skin, and is more handsome than any other mortal man. He doesn't have elven blood, but he gets mistaken for an elf so often by elves that they call him 'Adanedhel' ("man-elf" in Sindarin).

The Children of HÃºrin / int_fd497706	comment	Accidental Murder: Happens to Beleg at TÃºrin's hands (he'd just been rescued from sadistic Orcs, was barely conscious, and thought he was still in enemy hands, only waking when accidentally pricked.) Before that, TÃºrin kills Forweg without recognising him. However, as this was because Forweg was chasing a woman, this makes Forweg an Asshole Victim.
