The Stone of the Hapless was the hallowed stone on the banks of the River Taeglin that commemorated Túrin and Nienor,[1] and Morwen their mother.
Fate
Later, during the drowning of Beleriand, the site of the Stone of the Hapless did not drown (as predicted by Glirhuin), but remained as an island, Tol Morwen.[2]
Etymology
The stone had two other names the Standing Stone, and Talbor.[3] Talbor is Taliskan and the latter part of the word, bor, means 'stone'.
