The Journey of Morwen and Niënor to Nargothrond is the fourteenth chapter of The Children of Húrin.
Synopsis
When the Fell Winter ended, news had come to Menegroth about the Fall of Nargothrond, and it wasn't clear what had happened with Mormegil, but all survivors confirmed that they knew he was indeed Túrin, son of Húrin. Thus Morwen demanded Thingol to join the exploraton party he was sending to Nargothrond, and not even Melian's advice convinced her to stay in Doriath, so Thingol refused to help her. However, she ordered her daughter Niënor to stay and left Thilgol's court alone. The King sent at once a party of ten men, lead by Mablung, to follow and escort her. When they met her at the north of the Aelin-uial, she accepted their help, but the next day she noticed there was an eleventh member in the escort: it was Niënor, who had joined them without they noticed. The mother ordered her daughter to come back, but this remained steadfast, showing the firmness of the House of Hador. Against her will, Morwen accepted Niënor to come with them, and Mablung feared what could come from their imprudence.
The party travelled west for four days until they reached Amon Ethir and Mablung's men started exploring the zone. They saw the fallen Doors of Felagund, but not the dragon, who had notized the coming of the company. When Glaurung saw that there was a separated group in the top of Amon Ethir, he threw himself into the Narog, rising great clouds of steam. Then the escort of Morwen and Niënor saw the dragon coming into the hill and tried to run away with them. However, the poisoned air drove the horses mad, and Morwen's ran away with her into the woods, while she cried her daughter's name to never be seen again.
