Arvegil145 has just left Hobbiton.
I'm not quite sure that this line from the Annals of Aman should've been removed:

Quote:
The greatest of these was Menelmakar, the Swordsman of the Sky. This, it is said, was a sign of Túrin Turambar, who should come into the world, and a foreshowing of the Last Battle that shall be at the end of Days.
- Annals of Aman, entry 1000-1050, p. 71

After all, the texts in TNS are of Numenorean origin - and just because the Later Quenta omits the mention of Turin (even though it does mention the Last Battle briefly in reference to Menelmacar), it doesn't mean that it was rejected altogether.
