Who created the weapon which would eventually end the life of Morgoth?

(Hint: Said weapon is wielded by Gorthol)

Originally Eol, and later the smiths of Nargothrond - I don't think there are any known by name. Might have been Turin himself, though I don't know how he would have learnt the art.

Since this is 'bad guy trivia', Eol is the one I had in mind.

So, my turn?

Treating the cursed sword itself as a "bad guy":

The answer I gave above is wrong. Why?

Now that's a difficult one. It is known that Gurthang is the sword to kill Morgoth (according to prophecy of Mandos), and it is known that Eol is the original owner, and it's known that Turin is its wielder and that he'd do the deed. Based on these facts, I see no reason why you would think the answer you gave is wrong....

All of those things are true - but one of them is also false.

Unless you mean that Turin won't be the one who kill Morgoth, everything I've said is true.

Maybe it has something to do with the disloyalty of sword itself?
