Re: Orcish Fear
Looked it up. Rigel is in the constellation Orion, specifically, its Orion's foot (Orion=Menelmacar). Menelmacar predates Earendil. If I recall, Earendil was the morning star, which is Venus. JRRT may have rearranged some portion of this, but if so, I don't recall.

"The Silmarils with living light
were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
