In Tolkien's book The Silmarillion, Hurin was the head of the house of Hador at the time of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. He was transported to Gondolin by the eagles along with Huor, but was allowed to return to his people. His forces fought alongside the elves, and a valiant rearguard action by them along the river Sirion cost Morgoth's forces dear and enabled Turgon's army to escape back to Gondolin. Sadly, Hurin was captured by Morgoth, whereupon he was transported back to Angband and chained to a chair to watch the tragedy which would befall his loved ones, who were cursed. Morgoth also worked foul sorcery upon him to distort his will and perceptions.
He saw the tragic events which afflicted his children Turin and Nienor, and, when finally freed by Morgoth, went forth to confirm the truth of what he saw. He met his wife Morwen one last time and learnt from her what had befallen; after which he fell into a state of madness in which he returned to the gates of Gondolin and cried out, revealing its location to Morgoth. He then went to Nargothrond, slew Mim the petty dwarf and retrieved the Nauglamir, which for some Morgoth-encursed reason he gave to Elwe, triggering the events which led to the fall of Doriath.

Pronounced HOO-rin. It should have a rightward-slanting dash over the "U", but I don't think you can put those on Urban Dictionary.

A large realm in southern Magnamund, covering most of the eastern half of the continent at the time of the World of Lone Wolf gamebooks. The capital is the city of Shadaki, and it also contains a number of other major cities such as Ghol-Tabras. In addition, it controls the formerly free cities such as Andui, Forlu and Karnali and a number of desolate areas such as Lara and the Lissan Plains.
The Empire is ruled by the Wytch-King Shasarak by means of fell magic and the fearsome Shadakine army. Particularly important are the Shadakine Wytches, who control each city partly by means of the powerful influence of the Kazim Stones they possess. Shasarak has also called demons to his aid, has opened a portal to the demonic plane and is a powerful magician in his own right.

The Shadakine Empire at its peak stretched from the Tentarias, the northern border of Southern Magnamund, to the south coast of the continent.
After the fall of Shasarak, most of the area became a single realm under the rulership of the wizard Grey Star, but Shadakine supporters continued to cause unrest. The free cities returned to their independence.
