The 'great Tale' Of The Children Of Húrin, Set During The Legendary Time Before The Lord Of The Rings. Morgoth, The First Dark Lord, Dwells In The Vast Fortress Of Angband In The North; And Within The Shadow Of The Fear Of Angband, And The War Waged By Morgoth Against The Elves, The Fates Of Túrin And His Sister Niënor Will Be Tragically Entwined. Their Brief And Passionate Lives Are Dominated By The Elemental Hatred That Morgoth Bears Them As The Children Of Húrin, The Man Who Dared To Defy Him To His Face. Against Them Morgoth Sends His Most Formidable Servant, Glaurung, A Powerful Spirit In The Form Of A Huge Wingless Dragon Of Fire. Sardonic And Mocking, Glaurung Manipulates The Fates Of Túrin And Niënor By Lies Of Diabolic Cunning And Guile, In An Attempt To Fulfil The Curse Of Morgoth.
