Year 495 of the First Age of Beleriand
Túrin has gained great consideration and power from Orodreth, King of Narghothrond
After numerous successes in battle
Túrin rules all matters of war, and commands to build the bridge outside the city
To allow the armies to pass through and fight against the black horde of
Angband
But the King was warned about the great peril of invasion by Ulmo himself
God of waters
By messengers he told to Orodreth to leave
The city and reach the safe shores of the sea
But the king got angry with the messengers and the God
So he decided to stay and fight
But, in the end, the bridge was the ruin of Nargothrond
Because it allowed to the armies of Morgoth
To pass and sack the city
Orodreth was killed and Túrin was bewitched by Glaurung
He couldn’t do anything to protect the people
