Urwen has just left Hobbiton.

I will start with the simple guesses. Maedhros and Maglor? Among other things destroyed both Doriath and the Havens at the Mouths of Sirion.

Hurin and Turin? Turin brought down Nargothrond, while Hurin played off the wreckage left by Turin to finish off the Haladin town.

Actually, I had him enabling the destruction of Doriath via Nauglamir in mind.

Not the downfall of Gondolin? I guess he's only tangentially responsible for either.

Showed up, sparked off an insurrection, watched it burn and then wandered off, as I recall.

Is that UT? The Narn? In Sil/COH he just buries Morwen and wanders off. That's why I was confused about it.
