RESULTS OF DAY TEN (M-e)

In the hall of Brodda, the chief had made a pronouncement.

He demanded the young and fair Nienor as his second wife! But her proud mother Morwen refused him. As a result she was whipped cruelly, until she fell half-dead from the ordeal, and finally expired. But in that time Nienor slipped away, helped by a couple of old retainers, heading for Melian's realm; and Mablung found her and guided her inside.

Meanwhile, impressed by Morwen's self-sacrifice, Elbereth intervened to lift the Curse on Hurin's children. Shaken by rage, Morgoth hurled Hurin from the peak where he was chained. Thus passed the greatest of mortal warriors.

RESULTS OF THE CHALLENGE

Mablung hurried to find Turin and tell him the news that his mother was dead and his sister in Doriath. Without the Curse, he escaped Glaurung and following the rumours, reached Nargothrond. Turin met him joyously, but shuddered in tears at the news. Eventually he decided to return to Dor-Lomin and avenge Morwen, his plans for the Bridge across the Narog incomplete...

It's Day Eleven in Middle-earth. The contestants:
