Mablung

And then all of a sudden, this situation has sprung upon him, the very same situation that he was part of.

I mean, a parallel of that situation that he was a part of in Doriath, except now it's clear to him that he's Mablung and Androg is him.

And the woman is Cyrus.

And so his roles are reversed.

I will fight you all until I am dead, or you.

So he is at this moment he decides to seize leadership and then he later thinks that this leadership could be the beginning of a free lordship of his own.

So it's super interesting that this series of events wherein he now plays the part of Mablung in the saving of the woman and against Androg who plays the part of Turin in the original story with Cyrus and Mablung.

Now it's reversed.

Uh, and so Turin has fled.

Um, Mablung, uh, has, uh, has gone back to, uh, gone back to Thingol.

And he's like, and he lets, but he lets Turin go because he's like, this was not real.

Like, I'm not, I'm not going to do it.

I mean, he's the king, so he's above a judge in that sense, but...

The next day the king sat upon his throne in his court, and about him were all the chiefs and elders of Doriath.

Then many witnesses were heard, and of these Mablung spoke most and clearest.

Now, Mablung is the—he actually appears—he's the chief of the guard of Doriath and Doriath.
