How like Morgoth to institute his own form of kinstrife through the corruption of Elves into Orcs. Alas, and I am glad that this one was able to recognize the kinship and call to it as is right and proper, hopefully bringing a break in this one from Morgoth's power.
Author Reply: It's established in "Astonishment in Mirkwood" that the Avari took this kinfolk back home with them. These first and second generation Orcs weren't quite the same as their descendants in the later Ages, so - in my little corner of the Ardaverse, at least - they were able to live out their (now mortal) lives in some semblance of peace. |
