I agree that the notion of Elrond not summoning Denethor or one of his representatives to Rivendell for the Council of Elrond doesn't make sense. By the same token, surely the White Council would... |

In many instances within JRRT's works it is stated that Orcs were bred as a result of captured Elves being corrupted, maimed and disfigured. If that is the case, were Orcs immortal ? |

The Ivy Bush actually exists - on Hagley Road, Birmingham, England. It's believed that JRRT actually took the name from the pub. The real Ivy Bush is full of Brummie Orcs. |
