The War of the Jewels
“When my father was engaged on his later work on the Narn i Chin Hurin he made several plot-synopses arranged in annalistic form. Much of that material is not relevant here, since it is primarily concerned with the evolving story of Turin; but one of them, which begins with the birth of Turin, continues beyond his death and gives some account, though very brief, of Hurin after his release by Morgoth.
I give here the conclusion of this text (certainly somewhat later than any of the writings given... thus far in Part Three), taking it up a little before the death of Turin, since there are many interesting details in the annals for 490-9 bearing on the accounts given in NE and GA.
The text was written legibly but very rapidly.
490-5.
Turin becomes a great captain in Nargothrond under the name of Iarwaeth, and is called Mormegil Black Sword .
[Altered later to read: Turin becomes a great captain in Nargothrond. He only tells that he was lord of Cuarthol, and gives out his name as Thuringud the Hidden Foe; but is called Mormegil 'Black Sword'.MoreLess
