**Of Orcs**
I am bringing this matter to light because I think that the various essays and other texts on the origin and nature of the Orcs should be somehow included in our work.
However, I am still not entirely sure where and how to include them, and what to include.
In my version, I have included all the matter of the Orcs (with various differing versions - deliberately, because I think that even in the world of Middle-earth such things should be left obscure and worth pondering) in the chapter Of the Coming of the Elves.
Now - I SERIOUSLY think that we should start a thread on that chapter - to me, at least, it seems the most problematic of all the chapters of The Silmarillion (not minding FoG and the Ruin of Doriath...and Eärendil).
