While skimming through Haudh-en-Ndengin, this topic caught my eye.
LMP's thread about uncorrupted orcs.
While reading through it, the following question came to my mind: If an orc would be orphaned as a baby and brought up by humans/elves, what would he be like? Would he be like the orcs we see in Tolkien's books? Or could he be brought up to be more humane?
