It is interesting how much detail and weight and importance Turin's story has both in the history of Arda and in Tolkien's mind (as evident from Aiwendil's post), even though it is like an aside in the history of the Silmarilli, bing unconnected to them(at least directly). It of course deserves to be such, but it does makes me wonder.
