Very interesting indeed Gwaihir the Windlord. But it is stated that Melkor's orcs were a mockery of the Children of Illuvatar, thus making it hard to believe that Eru would grant the secret fire to a race as such. Futhermore, would be the fact that Eru had foresight, and would be able to evaluate the damage this race would do to Arda. Also, Elves believe that Melkor bred the race of the Orcs by the corruption of captured elves. This was so since Melkor could not actually create things by himself, just warp and twist them.
