   Narn i Hîn Húrin- Túrin Turambar

   After the Nirnaeth Arnoediad (https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Nirnaeth_Arnoediad), Húrin- a great man of the Edain- was captured by Morgoth and was greatly pressed for information. Húrin was brought before Morgoth, for he had learnt from his spies that Húrin was friends with Turgon, and was tortured for the secret of Gondolin's location. When he would not break, Morgoth cursed him and all his kin. The Dark Lord then chained Húrin to a chair high on the slopes of Thangorodrim (https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Thangorodrim) where, through Morgoth's sorcery, he could watch the tragedies that would befall his family. However Morgoth concealed much of Túrin's deeds and what Húrin saw was contorted, lies mixed with the truth
