'''''[[Mr. Bliss]]''''' is an illustrated children's story by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], first published posthumously in [[1982]]. The story tells of Mr Bliss's purchase of a car, and the misadventure that follows his poor driving: he encounters several neighbours, three bears, an angry shop-owner, and his own pet the "Girabbit".  
'''[[Gurthang]]''' was the sword of [[Túrin|Túrin Turambar]], reforged from [[Anglachel]], the sword wielded by [[Beleg|Beleg Cúthalion]] when Túrin slew him in a tragic turn of events.  


The story was likely written down in the early 1930s, is fully illustrated by Tolkien, with his own calligraphic handwriting integral to the design; it was first submitted for publication in [[1936]] but the cost of reproducing the artwork made it prohibitively expensive. Tolkien endeavoured to redraw it, but never got around to it; it was finally published in 1982, and in 2007 it was rescanned and republished to a higher quality.<p align="right" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;">'''[[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive|Featured Articles archive]] ·''' [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Nominations|Nominate/Vote]]</p></div></div>
Its name meant "Iron of Death" in [[Sindarin]], and it was black, but its edges shone bright and cold. With it Túrin performed great deeds in his battles against [[Morgoth]]'s armies, so he became known as ''Mormegil'' "the Black Sword". He also commited senseless acts with Gurthang, but his most reknowned act was the slaying of the [[dragon]] [[Glaurung]]. The sword broke when Túrin killed himself upon it, and was later buried with him.<p align="right" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;">'''[[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive|Featured Articles archive]]''' · [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Nominations|Nominate/Vote]]</p></div></div>

Túrin Mourning by Ebe Kastein

Gurthang was the sword of Túrin Turambar, reforged from Anglachel, the sword wielded by Beleg Cúthalion when Túrin slew him in a tragic turn of events.

Its name meant "Iron of Death" in Sindarin, and it was black, but its edges shone bright and cold. With it Túrin performed great deeds in his battles against Morgoth's armies, so he became known as Mormegil "the Black Sword". He also commited senseless acts with Gurthang, but his most reknowned act was the slaying of the dragon Glaurung. The sword broke when Túrin killed himself upon it, and was later buried with him.

Featured Quote
It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

Gandalf in The Return of the King, "The Last Debate"
