Re: Orcish Fear
No, you have enlightened me. I like this latter idea of Tolkien's better. And your explanation of how the Elves could have encountered orcs before Man awoke seems satisfactory enough. But then one must say that orcs were made in mockery of men rather than in mockery of Elves.
What about trolls? Were they also descended from beasts? And the later trolls, who were smarter, were they interbred with men, or were they really Maiar?
