I'm sure they'll make a long, long, list.

*Tuor comes dressed like warrior* Why did you isnult my cousin? Now you could join yours! *pushes Nerwen off Caragdur into the lava* Let Maeglin enjoy his cousin's company! *walks away, slowly*

WHAT IS THIS?!

And what is this?

I'll let you two argue back and forth about it. I exhausted all my Lalaith arguments on the Did Maedhros kill Laughter thread.

Even as a mere child, Lalaith was trouble. We've heard all about the unfortunate fate of the butterfly, of course. But there's more–

Did you know Lalaith was an incorrigible biter? It was the vicious chomp she gave Sador, and the resulting blood-poisoning, that caused him to lose his foot. Her parents had to pay Labadal handsomely to keep his mouth shut, I can tell you. (The "axe" story was just a cover-up.)

Urwen · 02-21-2011, 01:27 AM

No, you're wrong about that. Reliable sources tell me that it wasn't Lalaith who did that. It was, in fact, Carcharoth.

Turin was born in the year when Beren met Luthien. Lalaith was born two years later. Sador was a grown up by then.

Carcharoth is known for biting off noticeable parts of human bodies (just like Beren's hand)

So, there you are. Sador was working in the forest, when Carcharoth came and chomped his foot off.

But what else would you expect from crazy wolf?

Nerwen · 02-21-2011, 02:08 AM

Your sources are clearly not as reliable as you imagine. After all, why would Sador go around telling people he'd stupidly chopped his own foot off when he hadn't– unless there was a good reason? (*cough* hush money *cough*)

Your confusion, I suspect, arises from the fact that Lalaith (outside her parents' hearing) was widely known as "Little Carcharoth". Thus, the servants of Dor-lómin were wont to mutter, "His axe slipped, huh? Don't believe it. I bet it was 'Little Carcharoth', the brat! If she were my child I'd tan her hide!"

I've always had a theory that Eru created Melkor because of Lalaith.

See, at first Eru was just going to make the children (Elves, Humans, etc) but then a glimpse of the future showed him Lalaith, and she was so annoying laughing and dancing all the time, so he thought something needed to be done, so- *poof* Melkor!

So she's kind of responsible for every evil ever.
