The Silmarillion Survivor

[Gothmog]

Anguirel:

Out of such a list, I shall back Tuor and vote for the irritating talking animal, which betrays its true master

Wasn't Orome his original master? In that case I believe Huan follows the unspoken will of his true master by saving the innocent.

Though I must admit Huan's not a bad solution. Better than Melian anyway. The elves of Beleriand needs a wise maia with some powers to resist evil for some time. Melians girdle makes Doriath one of the safe houses right now, even if only invited guests are allowed (and some very special non-invited guests )

Ang again:

Telchar forged Angrist-but has probably given it to Curufin by now, so isn't much of a candidate

True, but if we vote for Curufin, Beren might never find the knife. This would lead to some danger as Beren would have to bring a sledge hammer or hacksaw to pinch the Silmaril from Morgoth's crown. But I know this would be fruitless, so I'm not even going to try.

No, I'm afraid I'll have to go bandwaggoning

++Huan

But he sure is a nice, cuddly pet with a great, noble heart...
