Turgon bears the most blame, he directly contravened a Vala who had already warned him of the future.

All other candidates were caught up in Morgoth's curse [Hurin ].

bad parenting - maeglin

disobedient spirit/ willfullness - aredhel

Turgon however takes the prize.

btw - stay tuned to the Rev. Silm forum for a version of 'Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin'.It will incorporate much of the Book Of Lost Tales' Fall of Gondloin and the UT's 'of Tuor'.

A rough draft is near enough that w/in a few weeks hopefully we will have it available in the public Silm forum.
