[Knight of Gondor]

I'd often thought it would be rather depressing to be deprived of "The Gift of Ill
úvatar to Men", death. It would be strange to live on and on like that. But to fall in love? Too bad for Arwen. I hear they have a depressing flash-forward scene about that in TTT. But that's just what I heard.


I'll have to check that story out. I also thought up an idea for a story. What if an Orc was deserted by a band of other Orcs while it was still young? It scrounged for food, and secretly listened to a gathering of Elves nearby, and thought about how wrong its kinsmen were. And he would join the ranks of Good, and infiltrate Mordor, and gradually, as he helped the Good side, he would become more and more in looks as an Elf. Good? Bad? I've even got a title: Leithian which means "Release From Bondage". I got the title from The Silmarillion, the prose account of Beren and Lúthien.
