What did they think?
Over the course of battling through another thread, the relations between orcs and the human servants of Sauron were mentioned in passing.
This has gotten me to wondering, what did these humans think about these ugly, filthy, disgusting creatures they fought some of their wars alongside? Did it not perhaps give some of them pause about what sort of a god they thought they were serving?
For some of the more barbarous people, perhaps the unsanitary nature of the orcs did not bother them too much, but what about a culture like Umbar? I think Umbar was probably a culturally sophisticated place. It too, along with Arnor and Gondor, was a successor state of Numenor.
What would the Umbarians have thought about the pack of smelly orcs?
