'''Gurthang''' was the sword of [[Túrin|Túrin Turambar]], reforged from [[Anglachel]], the sword wielded by [[Beleg|Beleg Cúthalion]] when Túrin slew him in a tragic turn of events.  


Fingon was the eldest son of [[Fingolfin]] and [[Anairë]], older brother of [[Turgon]], [[Aredhel]], and [[Argon]], who ruled the Noldor as High King from {{FA|456}} following the death of his father in single combat with [[Morgoth]]. Fingon led the largest host in the Flight of the Noldor from [[Aman]] to [[Middle-earth]] where he then ruled over [[Dor-lómin]] and [[Hithlum]]. However, Fingon is mostly remembered for his friendship with Maedhros, who he rescued from the peaks of [[Thangorodrim]], and for the manner of his death in battle with the balrog [[Gothmog (balrog)|Gothmog]] during the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. He was succeeded as High King by his brother [[Turgon]] who ruled the Noldor from [[Gondolin]].
Its name meant "Iron of Death" in [[Sindarin]], and it was black, but its edges shone bright and cold. With it Túrin performed great deeds in his battles against [[Morgoth]]'s armies, so he became known as ''Mormegil'' "the Black Sword". He also commited senseless acts with Gurthang, but his most reknowned act was the slaying of the [[dragon]] [[Glaurung]]. The sword broke when Túrin killed himself upon it, and was later buried with him.<p align="right" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;">'''[[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive|Featured Articles archive]]''' · [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Nominations|Nominate/Vote]]</p></div></div>

Túrin Mourning by Ebe Kastein

Gurthang was the sword of Túrin Turambar, reforged from Anglachel, the sword wielded by Beleg Cúthalion when Túrin slew him in a tragic turn of events.

Its name meant "Iron of Death" in Sindarin, and it was black, but its edges shone bright and cold. With it Túrin performed great deeds in his battles against Morgoth's armies, so he became known as Mormegil "the Black Sword". He also commited senseless acts with Gurthang, but his most reknowned act was the slaying of the dragon Glaurung. The sword broke when Túrin killed himself upon it, and was later buried with him.

Featured Quote
It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

Gandalf in The Return of the King, "The Last Debate"
