Maybe not a time limit, but he might tell her to just visit Fingolfin and Fingon and maybe Finrod, Angrod, and Aegnor.Would Turgon give Aredhel a time limit for her farewell tour?

Ulmo's magic protects them:Logistical Challenge: how did Turgon conceal the movements of several thousand Elves (how many Elves form the population of Gondolin?) and with frequent trips to the same area, how did Morgoth not know of their movements? Even small convoys could be conceivably detected if they're following the same patterns.
Kinda makes me thing of a scene in the Lion King midquel where Timon and Pumbaa think a storm’s coming when it’s really Mufasa appearing to Simba.Shot: View from Minas Tirith, a couple of guards wondering about a massive fog rolling in.
And then Angrod’s face will appear in the clouds.Kinda makes me thing of a scene in the Lion King midquel where Timon and Pumbaa think a storm’s coming when it’s really Mufasa appearing to Simba.
But what does Beleg know about the Petty Dwarves?I think we can probably assume that anything Mablung knows about the Petty Dwarves, Beleg knows as well.
I looked through The Children of Hurin for references to what Beleg might have known about the Petty-dwarves. Here is what I found and what I conclude from it:But what does Beleg know about the Petty Dwarves?
Do you mean a fireball from somewhere behind Morgoth, or does Morgoth himself breathe the fireball?Some teaser for Glaurung: Morgoth might be going over a report and a fireball puffs into the air?
A fireball behind Morgoth.Do you mean a fireball from somewhere behind Morgoth, or does Morgoth himself breathe the fireball?
I like it, though we may not want to show Glaurung breathing fire just yet if we want to have a scene where Morgoth grants Glaurung the gift of firebreathing.A fireball behind Morgoth.
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it seems logical that he should feel weaker. That's simply how things work for him. On the other hand, showing him becoming deformed and weaker everytime he does something powerful doesn't really work. People will think he hasn't got anything left after a while, that he's finished, and that's not true. It also risks becoming comical. I think the problems with this make good arguments to not showing the creation of Glaurung at all. Perhaps he's a bit weakened but the change is subtle, and he's doing a number of things so we c an't say it's because of the dragon project.Should the creation of Glaurung be something that noticeably saps Morgoth's power and changes his appearance?
I'm still not sure how much we should show of the Glaurung project.I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it seems logical that he should feel weaker.

Is there going to be a moment that he's going to genuinely fear for his life? Because by the time of his duel with Fingolfin, he's going to be fearful of his life.Yes, but not while he's wearing the Ring.
I agree that Episode 13 Morgoth should be more aged/gaunt/drained than Episode 1 Morgoth. He had both the dragon project and whatever he did in Hildorien to take something out of him.
But any dragon creation scenes will only be in flashback, likely later.
So do we give him an injury that doesn't heal, like a cut while shaving?Maybe Morgoth could emerge from wherever he has been working on Glaurung with some scratches or burns, which immediately heal. This would contrast his inability to heal fully from the wounds that Fingolfin and Thorondor give him later on.
