Of the Ruin of Doriath
So ended the tale of Tъrin Turambar; but Morgoth did not sleep nor rest from evil, and his dealings with the house of Hador were not yet ended. Against them his malice1 was unsated, though Hъrin was under his eye, and Morwen wandered distraught in the wild.
Unhappy was the lot of Hъrin; for all that Morgoth knew of the working of his malice Hъrin knew also, but lies were mingled3 with the truth, and aught that was good was hidden or distorted. In all ways Morgoth sought most to cast an evil light on those things that Thingol and Melian had done, for he hated them, and feared them. When therefore he judged the time to be ripe, he released Hъrin from his bondage4, bidding him go whither he would; and he feigned5 that in this he was moved by pity as for an enemy utterly6 defeated. But he lied, for his purpose was that Hъrin should still further his hatred7 for Elves and Men, ere he died.
Then little though he trusted the words of Morgoth, knowing indeed that he was without pity, Hъrin took his freedom, and went forth8 in grief, embittered9 by the words of the Dark Lord; and a year was now gone since the death of Tъrin his son. For twenty-eight years he had been captive in Angband, and he was grown grim to look upon. His hair and beard were white and long, but he walked unbowed, bearing a great black staff; and he was girt with a sword. Thus he passed into Hithlum, and tidings came to the chieftains of the Easterlings that there was a great riding of captains and black soldiers of Angband over the sands of Anfauglith, and with them came an old man, as one that was held in high honour. Therefore they did not lay hands on Hъrin, but let him walk at will in those lands; in which they were wise, for the remnant of his own people shunned10 him, because of his coming from Angband as one in league and honour with Morgoth.
Thus his freedom did but increase the bitterness of Hъrin's heart; and he departed from the land of Hithlum and went up into the mountains. Thence he descried11 far off. amid the clouds the peaks of the Crissaegrim, and he remembered Turgon; and he desired to come again to the hidden realm of Gondolin. He went down therefore from Ered Wethrin, and he knew not that the creatures of Morgoth watched all his steps; and crossing over the Brithiach he passed into Dimbar, and came to the dark feet of the Echoriath. All the land was cold and desolate12, and he looked about him with little hope, standing13 at the foot of a great fall of stones beneath a sheer rock-wall; and he knew not that this was all that was now left to see of the old Way of Escape: the Dry River was blocked, and the arched gate was buried. Then Hъrin looked up to the grey sky, thinking that he might once more descry14 the eagles, as he had done long ago in his youth; but he saw only the shadows blown from the east, and clouds swirling15 about the inaccessible16 peaks, and he heard only the wind hissing17 over the stones.
But the watch of the great eagles was now redoubled, and they marked Hъrin well, far below, forlorn in the fading light; and straightway Thorondor himself, since the tidings seemed great, brought word to Turgon. But Turgon said: 'Does Morgoth sleep? You were mistaken.'
'Not so,' said Thorondor. 'If the Eagles of Manwл were wont18 to err19 thus, then long ago, lord, your hiding would have been in vain.'
'Then your words bode20 ill,' said Turgon; 'for they can bear but one meaning. Even Hъrin Thalion has surrendered to the will of Morgoth. My heart is shut.'
But when Thorondor was gone, Turgon sat long in thought, and he was troubled, remembering the deeds of Hъrin of Dor-lуmin; and he opened his heart, and sent to the eagles to seek for Hъrin, and to bring him if they might to Gondolin. But it was too late, and they never saw him again in light or in shadow.
For Hъrin stood in despair before the silent cliffs of the Echoriath, and the westering sun, piercing the clouds, stained his white hair with red. Then he cried aloud in the wilderness21, heedless of any ears, and he cursed the pitiless land; and standing at last upon a high rock he looked towards Gondolin and called in a great voice: 'Turgon, Turgon, remember the Fen23 of Serech! O Turgon, will you not hear in your hidden halls?' But there was no sound save the wind in the dry grasses. 'Even so they hissed24 in Serech at the sunset,' he said; and as he spoke25 the sun went behind the Mountains of Shadow, and a darkness fell about him, and the wind ceased, and there was silence in the waste.
Yet there were ears that heard the words that Hъrin spoke, and report of all came soon to the Dark Throne in the north; and Morgoth smiled, for he knew now clearly in what region Turgon dwelt, though because of the eagles no spy of his could yet come within sight of the land behind the Encircling Mountains. This was the first evil that the freedom of Hъrin achieved.
As darkness fell Hъrin stumbled from the rock, and fell into a heavy sleep of grief. But in his sleep he heard the voice of Morwen lamenting26, and often she spoke his name; and it seemed to him that her voice came out of Brethil. Therefore when he awoke with the coming of day he arose, and went back to the Brithiach; and passing along the eaves of Brethil he came at a time of night to the Crossings of Teiglin. The night-sentinels saw him, but they were filled with dread27, for they thought that they saw a ghost out of some ancient battle-mound that walked with darkness about it; and therefore Hъrin was not stayed, and he came at last to the place of the burning of Glaurung, and saw the tall stone standing near the brink28 of Cabed Naeramarth.
But Hъrin did not look at the stone, for he knew what was written there; and his eyes had seen that he was not alone. Sitting in the shadow of the stone there was a woman, bent29 over her knees; and as Hъrin stood there silent she cast back her tattered30 hood31 and lifted her face. Grey she was and old, but suddenly her eyes looked into his, and he knew her; for though they were wild and full of fear, that light still gleamed in them that long ago had earned for her the name Eledhwen, proudest and most beautiful of mortal women in the days of old.
'You come at last,' she said. 'I have waited too long.'
'It was a dark road. I have come as I could,' he answered.
'But you are too late,' said Morwen. 'They are lost.'
'I know it,' he said. 'But you are not.'
But Morwen said: 'Almost. I am spent I shall go with the sun. Now little time is left: if you know, tell me! How did she find him?'
But Hъrin did not answer, and they sat beside the stone, and did not speak again; and when the sun went down Morwen sighed and clasped his hand, and was still; and Hъrin knew that she had died. He looked down at her in the twilight32 and it seemed to him that the lines of grief and cruel hardship were smoothed away. 'She was not conquered,' he said; and he closed her eyes, and sat unmoving beside her as the night drew down. The waters of Cabed Naeramarth roared on, but he heard no sound, and he saw nothing, and felt nothing, for his heart was stone within him. But there came a chill wind that drove sharp rain into his face; and he was roused, and anger rose in him like smoke, mastering reason, so that all his desire was to seek vengeance33 for his wrongs and for the wrongs of his kin2, accusing in his anguish34 all those who ever had dealings with them. Then he rose up, and he made a grave for Morwen above Cabed Naeramarth on the west side of the stone; and upon it he cut these words: Here lies also Morwen Eledhwen.
It is told that a seer and harp-player of Brethil named Glirhuin made a song, saying that the Stone of the Hapless should not be defiled35 by Morgoth nor ever thrown down, not though the sea should drown all the land; as after indeed befell, and still Tol Morwen stands alone in the water beyond the new coasts that were made in the days of the wrath36 of the Valar. But Hъrin does not lie there, for his doom37 drove him on, and the Shadow still followed him.
Now Hъrin crossed over Teiglin and passed southwards down the ancient road that led to Nargothrond; and he saw far off to the eastward38 the lonely height of Amon Rыdh, and knew what had befallen there. At length he came to the banks of Narog, and ventured the passage of the wild river upon the fallen stones of the bridge, as Mablung of Doriath had ventured it before him; and he stood before the broken Doors of Felagund, leaning upon his staff.
Here it must be told that after the departure of Glaurung Mоm the Petty-Dwarf39 had found his way to Nargothrond, and crept within the ruined halls; and he took possession of them, and sat there fingering the gold and the gems40, letting them run ever through his hands, for none came nigh to despoil41 him, from dread of the spirit of Glaurung and his very memory. But now one had come, and stood upon the threshold; and Mоm came forth, and demanded to know his purpose. But Hъrin said: 'Who are you, that would hinder me from entering the house of Finrod Felagund?'
Then the Dwarf answered: 'I am Mоm; and before the proud ones came from over the Sea, Dwarves42 delved43 the halls of Nulukkizdоn. I have but returned to take what is mine; for I am the last of my people.'
'Then you shall enjoy your inheritance no longer,' said Hъrin; 'for I am Hъrin son of Galdor, returned out of Angband, and my son was Tъrin Turambar, whom you have not forgotten; and he it was that slew44 Glaurung the Dragon, who wasted these halls where now you sit; and not unknown is it to me by whom the Dragon-helm of Dor-lуmin was betrayed.'
Then Mоm in great fear besought45 Hъrin to take what he would, but to spare his life; but Hъrin gave no heed22 to his prayer, and slew him there before the doors of Nargothrond. Then he entered in, and stayed a while in that dreadful place, where the treasures of Valinor lay strewn upon the floors in darkness and decay; but it is told that when Hъrin came forth from the wreck46 of Nargothrond and stood again beneath the sky he bore with him out of all that great hoard47 but one thing only.
Now Hъrin journeyed eastward, and he came to the Meres48 of Twilight above the Falls of Sirion; and there he was taken by the Elves that guarded the western marches of Doriath, and brought before King Thingol in the Thousand Caves. Then Thingol was filled with wonder and grief when he looked on him, and knew that grim and aged49 man for Hъrin Thalion, the captive of Morgoth; but he greeted him fairly and showed him honour. Hъrin made no answer to the King, but drew forth from beneath his cloak that one thing which he had taken with him out of Nargothrond; and that was no lesser50 treasure than the Nauglamнr, the Necklace of the Dwarves, that was made for Finrod Felagund long years before by the craftsmen51 of Nogrod and Belegost, most famed of all their works in the Elder Days, and prized by Finrod while he lived above all the treasures of Nargothrond. And Hъrin cast it at the feet of Thingol with wild and bitter words.
'Receive thou thy fee,' he cried, 'for thy fair keeping of my children and my wife! For this is the Nauglamнr, whose name is known to many among Elves and Men; and I bring it to thee out of the darkness of Nargothrond, where Finrod thy kinsman52 left it behind him when he set forth with Beren son of Barahir to fulfil the errand of Thingol of Doriath!'
Then Thingol looked upon the great treasure, and knew it for the Nauglamнr, and well did he understand Hъrin's intent; but being filled with pity he restrained his wrath, and endured Hъrin's scorn. And at the last Melian spoke, and said: 'Hъrin Thalion, Morgoth hath bewitched thee; for he that seeth through Morgoth's eyes, willing or unwilling53, seeth all things crooked54. Long was Tъrin thy son fostered in the halls of Menegroth, and shown love and honour as the son of the King; and it was not by the King's will nor by mine that he came never back to Doriath. And afterwards thy wife and thy daughter were harboured here with honour and goodwill55; and we sought by all means that we might to dissuade56 Morwen from the road to Nargothrond. With the voice of Morgoth thou dost now upbraid57 thy friends.'
And hearing the words of Melian Hъrin stood moveless, and he gazed long into the eyes of the Queen; and there in Menegroth, defended still by the Girdle of Melian from the darkness of the Enemy, he read the truth of all that was done, and tasted at last the fullness of woe58 that was measured for him by Morgoth Bauglir. And he spoke no more of what was past, but stooping lifted up the Nauglamнr from where it lay before Thingol's chair, and he gave it to him, saying: 'Receive now, lord, the Necklace of the Dwarves, as a gift from one who has nothing, and as a memorial of Hъrin of Dor-lуmin. For now my fate is fulfilled, and the purpose of Morgoth achieved; but I am his thrall59 no longer.'
Then he turned away, and passed out from the Thousand Caves, and all that saw him fell back before his face; and none sought to withstand his going, nor did any know whither he went. But it is said that Hъrin would not live thereafter, being bereft60 of all purpose and desire, and cast himself at last into the western sea; and so ended the mightiest61 of the warriors62 of mortal Men.
But when Hъrin was gone from Menegroth, Thingol sat long in silence, gazing upon the great treasure that lay upon his knees; and it came into his mind that it should be remade, and in it should be set the Silmaril. For as the years passed Thingol's thought turned unceasingly to the jewel of Fлanor, and became bound to it, and he liked not to let it rest even behind the doors of his inmost treasury63; and he was minded now to bear it with him always, waking and sleeping.
In those days the Dwarves still came on their journeys into Beleriand from their mansions64 in Ered Lindon, and passing over Gelion at Sam Athrad, the Ford65 of Stones, they travelled the ancient road to Doriath; for their skill in the working of metal and stone was very great, and there was much need of their craft in the halls of Menegroth. But they came now no longer in small parties as aforetime, but in great companies well armed for their protection in the perilous67 lands between Aros and Gelion; and they dwelt in Menegroth at such times in chambers68 and smithies set apart for them. At that very time great craftsmen of Nogrod were lately come into Doriath; and the King therefore summoning them declared his desire, that if their skill were great enough they should remake the Nauglamнr, and in it set the Silmaril. Then the Dwarves looked upon the work of their fathers, and they beheld70 with wonder the shining jewel of Fлanor; and they were filled with a great lust71 to possess them, and carry them off to their far homes in the mountains. But they dissembled their mind, and consented to the task.
Long was their labour; and Thingol went down alone to their deep smithies, and sat ever among them as they worked. In time his desire was achieved, and the greatest of the works of Elves and Dwarves were brought together and made one; and its beauty was very great, for now the countless72 jewels of the Nauglamнr did reflect and cast abroad in marvellous hues73 the light of the Silmaril amidmost. Then Thingol, being alone among them, made to take it up and clasp it about his neck; but the Dwarves in that moment withheld74 it from him, and demanded that he yield it up to them, saying: 'By what right does the Elvenking lay claim to the Nauglamнr, that was made by our fathers for Finrod Felagund who is dead? It has come to him but by the hand of Hъrin the Man of Dor-lуmin, who took it as a thief out of the darkness of Nargothrond.' But Thingol perceived their hearts, and saw well that desiring the Silmaril they sought but a pretext75 and fair cloak for their true intent; and in his wrath and pride he gave no heed to his peril66, but spoke to them in scorn, saying: 'How do ye of uncouth76 race dare to demand aught of me, Elu Thingol, Lord of Beleriand, whose life began by the waters of Cuiviйnen years uncounted ere the fathers of the stunted77 people awoke?' And standing tall and proud among them he bade them with shameful78 words be gone unrequited out of Doriath.
Then the lust of the Dwarves was kindled79 to rage by the words of the King; and they rose up about him, and laid hands on him, and slew him as he stood. So died in the deep places of Menegroth Elwл Singollo, King of Doriath, who alone of all the Children of Ilъvatar was joined with one of the Ainur; and he who, alone of the Forsaken80 Elves, had seen the light of the Trees of Valinor, with his last sight gazed upon the Silmaril.
Then the Dwarves taking the Nauglamнr passed out of Menegroth and fled eastwards81 through Region. But tidings went swiftly through the forest, and few of that company came over Aros, for they were pursued to the death as they sought the eastward road; and the Nauglamнr was retaken, and brought back in bitter grief to Melian the Queen. Yet two there were of the slayers of Thingol who escaped from the pursuit on the eastern marches, and returned at last to their city far off in the Blue Mountains; and there in Nogrod they told somewhat of all that had befallen, saying that the Dwarves were slain82 in Doriath by command of the Elvenking, who thus would cheat them of their reward.
Then great was the wrath and lamentation83 of the Dwarves of Nogrod for the death of their kin and their great craftsmen, and they tore their beards, and wailed84; and long they sat taking thought for vengeance. It is told that they asked aid from Belegost, but it was denied them, and the Dwarves of Belegost sought to dissuade them from their purpose; but their counsel was unavailing, and ere long a great host came forth from Nogrod, and crossing over Gelion marched westward85 through Beleriand.
***
Upon Doriath a heavy change had fallen. Melian sat long in silence beside Thingol the King, and her thought passed back into the starlit years and to their first meeting among the nightingales of Nan Elmoth in ages past; and she knew that her parting from Thingol was the forerunner86 of a greater parting, and that the doom of Doriath was drawing nigh. For Melian was of the divine race of the Valar, and she was a Maia of great power and wisdom; but for love of Elwл Singollo she took upon herself the form of the Elder Children of Ilъvatar, and in that union she became bound by the chain and trammels of the flesh of Arda. In that form she bore to him Lъthien Tinъviel; and in that form she gained a power over the substance of Arda, and by the Girdle of Melian was Doriath defended through long ages from the evils without. But now Thingol lay dead, and his spirit had passed to the halls of Mandos; and with his death a change came also upon Melian. Thus it came to pass that her power was withdrawn87 in that time from the forests of Neldoreth and Region, and Esgalduin the enchanted88 river spoke with a different voice, and Doriath lay open to its enemies.
Thereafter Melian spoke to none save to Mablung only, bidding him take heed to the Silmaril, and to send word speedily to Beren and Lъthien in Ossiriand; and she vanished out of Middle-earth, and passed to the land of the Valar beyond the western sea, to muse89 upon her sorrows in the gardens of Lуrien, whence she came, and this tale speaks of her no more.
Thus it was that the host of the Naugrim crossing over Aros passed unhindered into the woods of Doriath; and none withstood them, for they were many and fierce, and the captains of the Grey-elves were cast into doubt and despair, and went hither and thither90 purposeless. But the Dwarves held on their way, and passed over the great bridge, and entered into Menegroth; and there befell a thing most grievous among the sorrowful deeds of the Elder Days. For there was battle in the Thousand Caves, and many Elves and Dwarves were slain; and it has not been forgotten. But the Dwarves were victorious91, and the halls of Thingol were ransacked92 and plundered93. There fell Mablung of the Heavy Hand before the doors of the treasury wherein lay the Nauglamнr; and the Silmaril was taken.
At that time Beren and Lъthien yet dwelt in Tol Galen, the Green Isle94, in the River Adurant, southernmost of the streams that falling from Ered Lindon flowed down to join with Gelion; and their son Dior Eluchнl had to wife Nimloth, kinswoman of Celeborn, prince of Doriath, who was wedded95 to the Lady Galadriel. The sons of Dior and Nimloth were Elurйd and Elurнn; and a daughter also was born to them, and she was named Elwing, which is Star-spray, for she was born on a night of stars, whose light glittered in the spray of the waterfall of Lanthir Lamath beside her father's house.
Now word went swiftly among the Elves of Ossiriand that a great host of Dwarves bearing gear of war had come down out of the mountains and passed over Gelion at the Ford of Stones. These tidings came soon to Beren and Lъthien; and in that time also a messenger came to them out of Doriath telling of what had befallen there. Then Beren arose and left Tol Galen, and summoning to him Dior his son they went north to the River Ascar; and with them went many of the Green-elves of Ossiriand.
Thus it came to .pass that when the Dwarves of Nogrod, returning from Menegroth with diminished host, came again to Sarn Athrad, they were assailed97 by unseen enemies; for as they climbed up Gelion's banks burdened with the spoils of Doriath, suddenly all the woods were filled with the sound of elven-horns, and shafts98 sped upon them from every side. There very many of the Dwarves were slain in the first onset99; but some escaping from the ambush100 held together, and fled eastwards towards the mountains. And as they climbed the long slopes beneath Mount Dolmed there came forth the Shepherds of the Trees, and they drove the Dwarves into the shadowy woods of Ered Lindon: whence, it is said, came never one to climb the high passes that led to their homes.
In that battle by Sarn Athrad Beren fought his last fight, and himself slew the Lord of Nogrod, and wrested101 from him the Necklace of the Dwarves; but he dying laid his curse upon all the treasure. Then Beren gazed in wonder on the selfsame jewel of Fлanor that he had cut from Morgoth's iron crown, now shining set amid gold and gems by the cunning of the Dwarves; and he washed it clean of blood in the waters of the river. And when all was finished the treasure of Doriath was drowned in the River Ascar, and from that time the river was named anew, Rathlуriel, the Goldenbed; but Beren took the Nauglamнr and returned to Tol Galen. Little did it ease the grief of Lъthien to learn that the Lord of Nogrod was slain and many Dwarves beside; but it is said and sung that Lъthien wearing that necklace and that immortal102 jewel was the vision of greatest beauty and glory that has ever been outside the realm of Valinor; and for a little while the Land of the Dead that Live became like a vision of the land of the Valar, and no place has been since so fair, so fruitful, or so filled with light.
Now Dior Thingol's heir bade farewell to Beren and Lъthien, and departing from Lanthir Lamath with Nimloth his wife he came to Menegroth, and abode103 there; and with them went their young sons Elurйd and Elurнn, and Elwing their daughter. Then the Sindar received them with joy, and they arose from the darkness of their grief for fallen kin and King and for the departure of Melian; and Dior Eluchнl set himself to raise anew the glory of the kingdom of Doriath.
There came a night of autumn, and when it grew late, one came and smote104 upon the doors of Menegroth, demanding admittance to the King. He was a lord of the Green-elves hastening from Ossiriand, and the door-wards brought him to where Dior sat alone in his chamber69; and there in silence he gave to the King a coffer, and took his leave. But in that coffer lay the Necklace of the Dwarves, wherein was set the Silmaril; and Dior looking upon it knew it for a sign that Beren Erchamion and Lъthien Tinъviel had died indeed, and gone where go the race of Men to a fate beyond the world.
Long did Dior gaze upon the Silmaril, which his father and mother had brought beyond hope out of the terror of Morgoth; and his grief was great that death had come upon them so soon. But the wise have said that the Silmaril hastened their end; for the flame of the beauty of Lъthien as she wore it was too bright for mortal lands.
Then Dior arose, and about his neck he clasped the Nauglamнr; and now he appeared as the fairest of all the children of the world, of threefold race: of the Edain, and of the Eldar, and of the Maiar of the Blessed Realm.
But now the rumour105 ran among the scattered106 Elves of Beleriand that Dior Thingol's heir wore the Nauglamнr, and they said: 'A Silmaril of Fлanor burns again in the woods of Doriath'; and the oath of the sons of Fлanor was waked again from sleep. For while Lъthien wore the Necklace of the Dwarves no Elf would dare to assail96 her; but now hearing of the renewal107 of Doriath and of Dior's pride the seven gathered again from wandering, and they sent to him to claim their own.
But Dior returned no answer to the sons of Fлanor; and Celegorm stirred up his brothers to prepare an assault upon Doriath. They came at unawares in the middle of winter, and fought with Dior in the Thousand Caves; and so befell the second slaying108 of Elf by Elf. There fell Celegorm by Dior's hand, and there fell Curufin, and dark Caranthir; but Dior was slain also, and Nimloth his wife, and the cruel servants of Celegorm seized his young sons and left them to starve in the forest. Of this Maedhros indeed repented109, and sought for them long in the woods of Doriath; but his search was unavailing, and of the fate of Elurйd and Elurнn no tale tells.
Thus Doriath was destroyed, and never rose again.
But the sons of Fлanor gained not what they sought; for a remnant of the people fled before them, and with them was Elwing Dior's daughter, and they escaped, and bearing with them the Silmaril they came in time to the mouths of the River Sirion by the sea.
