What happened to everyone who were put on the quarantine?

Well, here's what happened.


Andróg (G55) might have his leanings, but he was healthy when he got into the QT and stayed so until D4 when he got ill by Hareth (Huinesoron). Somehow he fell really deep into the sickness, getting deeper into it, like triple-infection, both on N&D5. He never recovered from that and was banished from the village – to make a career as an outlaw.

The first actually infected person to enter the QT was Haldir (Rikae) for 9 consecutive Days/Nights before she gor better. He didn’t infect anyone, but there were questions asked afterwards, whether he should have fought more valiantly in the Nirnaeth….

Hareth (Huinesoron) did infect Asgon (Legate), but otherwise was unsuccessful in her attempts to spread the virus. In the end she recovered only just and just to see her sons flourish and then wither away.

Huor (Kitanna) got infected a double infection immediately on arrival, and more on D4 and N8. He was also sadly responsible for infecting old Halmir who later died into his illness and never saw the battlefield again. Huor did miraculously survive seeing Aerin and Lalaith coming in and gathered all his spiritual energy to save the little Lalaith from infection. After the recovery he was only a shell of his former self and died in a less glorified manner in Nirnaeth.

Túrin (Sally) stayed well from the very first Night he was put into the Quarantine and never felt any symptoms of the disease. Unfathomable are the ways of Valar.

Grithnir (Macalaure) got infected one Night and one Day after he was quarantined against anyone’s will on Day3 by Túrin. He was well built and strong though, and even if he didn’t exactly get well during the time of our story, he did incidentally recover from the illness – to pay it back by helping Túrin in his adventures.

Asgon (Legate) was infected by Night but as a steadfast warrior got over it in relatively short time. So he was able to help Túrin later on, like the original legendarium tells us.

Poor old Sador (Lhuna) showed some decent resistance against Morgoth’s spells and did actually get fine in a few days. With Túrin and Huor he was one of those who were locked in the QT for the longest being heatlhy.

Rían (Lalaith) did indeed fight for her life, being very ill all the time believing her husband would die. She did survive in the end upon hearing Haldir had gotten better against all odds. She committed a suicide after news from Nirnaeth and Haldir’s final death spread to Brethil Woods.

Old Halmir (Inziladun) entered the QT healthy, but got the infection from Huor. It was a sad business indeed. Like Morgoth himself had planned it. Being too old and weak, Halmir never entered a battlefield again after this episode. Sadly his son and heir wasn’t able to fill his place in Nirnaeth and the results were that much worse.

Túrin’s Nurse (Pitchwife) was a healthy young woman and fought the illness over in a couple of days coming out fresh and clean, ready to take care of the children once again.

Indor (THE Ka) was too old and weak to resist Morgoth’s spell and even if everyone tried their best he did in the end die on it. A little prematurely maybe, but not long before it would have been his time anyway.

Brandir (Shasta) was a little child, and his body just pushed the virus away, like a child forgets a bad thing when seeing ice-cream (like meeting healthy Túrin inside to play with).

Forweg (Kath) had been under Morgoth’s spell for a long time, but he was a stout man and did away with it quite easily. Some people still think that his later destinies were tied into this little incident. Otherwise he might have been counted among the heroes of men, instead of being remembered just as a decent outlaw.

Lalaith (Lottie) went into the QT forced by Aerin, but she laughed all the way – and rejoiced even more meeting her brother there – and Brandir – and if there was a sign of an infection in her by Aerin, she did recover from it astonishingly fast and without notice.

Aerin (Boro) had a strong will and recovered in the end – even if it took time. She was thus able to help Morwen in the future and was an instrumental part of the story of the Children of Húrin.
