Re: Orcish Fear


Returning to fëar. I will need a citation here:

Quote:
Aragorn holding an orc-knife:

'...it was an orc-weapon' he said, holding it gingerly, and looking with disgust at the carved handle; it had been shaped like a hideous head with squinting eyes and leering
Carved handle, mind you! No breed of mere kevlar were able to do anything like that (I suppose). It is an art, wich, probably, is a proof enough to make it clear that [at least some] orcs have fëar. Of course, that knife belonged to Grishnakh, not ordinary orc but one of the leaders, but never is mentioned, that weapon was made by his own hands. So, if ordinary orcs were able of performing works of art, it's impossible to say that the whole mass and bulk of the population were of the beast origin.
