After a bit of a break, I'm back with more Lalaith arguments...
Why do you think Turin had so little friends? It's not because he had a bad temper (who made up that ridiculous rumor?!). It's because of his little monsterous sister. Stories of her "playing" spread far and wide, casting a shadow over Turin's name. Everyone was afraid of Lalaith, and that's where all Turin's troubles came from. We all know that Hurin wasn't welcomed in Dor-lomin after his return from Angband, but hardly anyone knows the real reason. When he was "lord of Dor-lomin" and all that, people were too afraid to speak ill of his daughter or him. Now that he didn't have all the fancy titles behind him, they could tell him the truth about Little Carcharoth to his face. People gave Morwen the name Eledhwen for the light that shone in her eyes. What the light really was, though, was the reflection of the sunlight on the tears that never left her eyes. She and Hurin had to give away so much money just to keep the "Little Carcharoth" business quiet that they could hardly make ends meet. Morwen weeped for how much their daughter deprived them of.

Well, in books it clearly states that Morwen (and Turin) suffered because Lalaith died. Hurin too. He tried to sing a song for his daughter, but failed and cursed Morgoth that Valar (and Turin) would finish him off
Meanwhille, Thingol had shady negotiations with Haleth & Nellas. He made a deal that if they killed him, he would have fun with them in Mandos. You really think dwarves killed him? No, it was Nellas and Haleth with her people, disguised as dwarves. Hurin, of course, participated, as dwarf named Ibanzil (which means 'leader'). Turgon disliked dwarves, and Maeglin disliked mortal men. Yet, they harboured Tuor, along with his little 'sister'. But his 'sister' was, in fact, his cousin. He of course, renamed Lalaith, for purpose of saving Idril. He renamed her after Idril's mother. Hurin, after killing Thingol, and after Melian left, Hurin threw himself in the sea. As for Lalaith, she personally threw Maeglin off the cliff. People confused her with Tuor because they're cousins. Real Tuor, along with Idril and many others, already escaped. After washing her hands, Lalaith went after them and joined them at havens of Sirion. And everybody (except Hurin and Maeglin) lived happily.

But that pales in comparison to the effect the tales of "Little Carcharoth" had on the once-proud realm of Nargothrond: Quote:
Sorry, Urwen, still the wrong thread.

No, it isn't. You intentionally skipped this quote:

Clearly another of those corrupt versions I was talking about.

Rumours say that they lived and still live in blessed land. Maeglin and their unnamed daughter live with them under mercy of Valar.

Urwen, this is about Lalaith, not Celegorm's love interest.
Quote:
And why did he curse Morgoth? For giving him such a daughter, not for taking her away. He didn't do this before, because he was afraid Lalaith would find out and play an extra trick on him.

But don't forget Nienor. Morwen named her 'mourning'
Why do you think she named her so? Hum hum Burarum...rum..rum...

No, she name her thus because she mourned for Lalaith;;;;;;

Nope. What an absurd idea! Why in Middle-earth would anyone mourn for Lalaith?!
