Okay. 'Mor' is dark. 'leg' shows up at the end of Beleg, but I think there it's actually -eg. Definitely a Sindarin name, either way.

But maybe not late Sindarin? 'Morl' has a slightly early feel to it. So I'm thinking older name for some character.

I don't recognise it as an elf, and I usually pay attention to those, so mortal. I'm... that 'dark' is making me thing Turin. So either:

a) It was a name Tolkien once used for Turin, who died of draconic manipulation and talking sword.

or

b) it's a member of Turin's outlaws, who... something to do with Mim? He brought in orcs to kill them, right?

hS, going book-free
