House of Ransom

The House of Ransom (Bar-en-Danwedh) is another name for Amon Rûdh, the house of Mîm the Petty-dwarf and his two sons Ibûn and Khîm. The dwelling took this name after Túrin's attack on and capture of Mîm, who promised to house Túrin's outlaws in exchange for his life. The name is also rooted in the mortal wounding of Mîm's son Khîm, who was shot by a member of Túrin's band: Túrin promised to provide a ransom of his own to Mîm to atone for Khîm's death.
