Equally, the Orcs may have been wrong about the storm, because Túrin's escape had some dire consequences for the enemies of Melkor. Apart from the death of Beleg, Túrin's later actions in Nargothrond would lead directly to its Fall, and in Brethil he would drive his sister Niënor to take her own life. All of these consequences were unintended by Túrin and apparently driven by Melkor's own malign curse, but if the Orcs had succeeded in bringing Túrin to Angband they would never have occurred. It could be said, therefore, that the storm did as much to aid Melkor's plans as undermine them, which raises doubts about its being sent by the 'Enemies beyond the Sea'. Indeed, given its ultimate effects, it might even conceivably have been the work of Melkor himself.
