After the devastating tragedies of Chapter 21, we get…more devastating tragedies! Chapter 22 picks up with Húrin, now old and worn out by Morgoth’s tortures. Set free to wander aimlessly in the wasted regions of Beleriand, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of events that will lead to end of the kingdom of Doriath, once the hidden heart of Beleriand’s free regions.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "And at the last Melian spoke, and said: ‘Húrin Thalion, Morgoth hath bewitched thee; for he that seeth through Morgoth’s eyes, willing or unwilling, seeth all things crooked." - Silmarillion Ch 22
