The Silmarillion characters by their last words

Can you remember each of these characters by their last words before death?
Some of the quotes are from the Great Tales of Middle Earth, and may not be in the Silmarillion
If you can think of any other character I could add to the quiz, please let me know in the comments :)
I may take out some of the names in a few quotes, otherwise it would be too easy

Hint
Answer
"Hail Gurthang! No lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that wieldeth thee. From no blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take ______ Turambar, wilt thou slay me swiftly?"
Turin
"Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors! Come forth, O montrous craven lord and fight with thine own hand and sword, thou wielder of hosts of banded thralls, thou tyrant leaguered with strong walls, thou foe of Gods and elvish race! I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!"
Fingolfin
"I give thee joy that thou hast found thy brother at last. And now thou shalt know him: a stabber in the dark, treacherous to foes, faithless to friends, and a curse unto his kin, Turin son of Hurin! But the worst of all his deeds thou shalt feel thyself."
Glaurung
"Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!"
Fingon
"This I say to you lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise! Farewell!"
Huor
"Tell the Mormegil that Finduilas is here."
Finduilas
"Little time is left. If you know, tell me! How did she find him?"
Morwen
"Yet I do not fear to die, for then I will go to seek Niniel whom I loved, and perhaps find her again beyond the Sea."
Brandir
"Now is the Quest achieved, and my doom full-wrought."
Beren
"Farewell, O twice beloved! A Turin Turamabar turun ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!"
Nienor
"So you forsake your father and his kin, illgotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I."
Eol
"Let Tuor be your guide and your chieftain. But I will not leave my city, and will burn with it. Lo, I abide here. If I am king, obey my behests, and dare not to parley further with my commands."
Turgon
"How do ye of uncouth race dare to demand aught of me, Elu _______, Lord of Beleriand, whose life began by the waters of Cuivienen years uncounted ere the fathers of the stunted people awoke?"
Thingol
"It will be long ere I am seen among the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life, for the fates of our kindreds are apart. Farewell!"
Finrod
"Keep your hate! It is as feeble as all your counsels. But for me the Orcs would have come and hung you as a scarecrow in your garden. Take the name of skulker to yourself!"
Dorlas
"It is indeed unhappy, and I would weep if i were not so weary. But hold me blameless in this, and in all that may come after."
Miriel

The Silmarillion is so awesome, and those are some of the very best passages in it. Just wow!

I wish there was a way to feature "aure entuluva" here, even if Hurin doesn't really die after saying it...

I wish there were too, but I can't think of a way to add it without it being confusing...

LOVED this quiz. It's been 20 years since I read the book, and somehow I got 9/13. Quality work sticks in the mind. The quotes contain a lot of helpful clues, which make it kind of a puzzle.
