Long ago, I would have let this detail go, but now...
[Glaurung: ]Evil have been all thy ways, son of Húrin. Thankless fosterling, outlaw, slayer of thy friend, thief of love, usurper of Nargothrond, captain foolhardy, and deserter of thy kin.
(QS 21)
How did Glaurung know all these?
Can Morgoth really see all? If so, why can’t he find Gondolin?
Does he have spies in Doriath and Nargothrond? Unlikely, and if true, how did they know Túrin killed Beleg?
Can Glaurung read minds, perhaps? If so...
"You lie," said Nienor, "The Children of Húrin at least are not craven. We fear you not."
Then Glaurung laughed, for so was Húrin’s daughter revealed to his malice.
(UT I 2) ...why need this revelation?
