men, elves and orcs? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Aye! Of course! And what about the Halls of Mandos? Orcs when they die would certainly go to the Halls of Mandos, wouldn’t they? After all they are corrupted elves, no? Of course, orcs as corrupted elves would have free will. Thus they could be redeemed. It would, therefore, be murder to kill an unarmed orc!

What I’m sarcastically getting at, is that this subject has already been discussed on numerous other threads, and these threads are actually quite good. Perhaps we should use the search engine and insert our theories into these older and more advanced threads. This would have two outstanding benefits: first, it would give your theory a better footing by basing it on research already done by others, and, second, it would shoot some new life into those threads that obviously need to be reviewed.
