Are Orcs Immortal? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I wouldn't have thought that Gollum, or any Humans/Hobbits, would be eligible for entry to the Halls of Mandos. I was suggesting that Orcs might be admitted on the basis that they (or their forbears) were originally Elves.

And at the risk of starting another general debate on free will ( [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] ), their ancestors never really had much of a choice, did they? They were just taken by Melkor and corrupted by him.
