tuor and turin
tuor and turin are cousins
what is the age differences between them? in the book of unfinished tales they cross paths literally and is touched upon in the Sil. I wonder had they met in there youth? Would that have recognized each other if they saw each other close up? And if so how or if would the Sil have been changed if they did?

Tuor (first age 473) was eight years younger than Turin (fa 465).
I do not believe their paths crossed as youths, but I haven't read Unfinished Tales (which expands on both characters) in a while. |

IIRC, their paths crossed at the time that Turin was trying to rescue Finduilas, but I don't recall that they ever met. Tuor must have known of Turin and his deeds but may not have known that it was actually Turin. Turin had so many different names.

![]() In the Silmarrilion Tuor and Turin did not meet or speak to each other. It says in Sil. that Tuor saw a dark figure, dressed in black with a big sword while he was going to Gondolin (I think).

When Tuor was going to Gondolin with Voronwe, they saw Turin walk past. This was when Turin was trying to kill Glaurung.

I thought it was when he was heading back to Hithlum to rescue his mother and sister, cozened by the lies of Glaurung?

Turin was definitley one the way to Hithlum to rescue Morwen and Nienor, when he was seen by Tour. But it isn't likely that Tour had heard of the Black Sword of Nargothrond.
But lets start at the begining: Tuor was born in the wild shortly after the Battle of Unnumbered Tears and fostered for a long while by the Greyelves of Mithrim. While Turin was sent in the year after the Battle to Thingols court. In that way they couldn't have meet in youth. Hithlum was shut of from news of the south while Turin was in Doriath and afterwards their were only rumors about the Mormegil running about the slaves. But in this time Tour was already an solitary outlaw and so had naturaly not much comunikation with any folk. So Tour could in no way recognise that this man running along, mad from war and grief was his cousin. Even when we asume that he did know of his cousin and belived that he still lived.

Unfinished Tales- "Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin" Page 40. Read it.
