Which I really thought had made it into CoH, but apparently it's still only found in HoME XI.
Apparently after Hurin was set free, he wandered as follows:
-To Hithlum, which he left entirely at peace under the iron fist of Lorgan the Eastron.
-To the Dry River, where he betrayed Gondolin's location by yelling at clouds.
-To the Stone of the Hapless, where he refused to tell Morwen anything about their kids despite her being literally dying at the time.
-To Brethil, where he assaulted the Chieftain for being slightly rude, was arrested, and called for insurrection against the Chieftain at his trial. All the claimants are killed, Obel Halad is burnt, and the Haladin are basically destroyed as a people.
- And
then he popped down to Nargothrond, murdered Mim, stole a bunch of treasure cursed by both dragon and dwarf, and took it to Doriath to spite Thingol for not chaining up his family until they died of old age.
Post-bondage Hurin wasn't a great person to be around, is what I'm saying.
