Ah, the joy of The Greatest Thread Of All Time. Now, to business: Wargs did give us Crazy Captions. Not because they thought it amusing themselves, or that they are crud. Of course not. It is simply that Wargs, in their wondrous benevolence, conjoured the concept and realised we mere humans would enjoy this tirifle, and so gifted it unto us.
Let me make this perfectly clear, friends: one must not underestimate the power and greatness of Wargs.
Welcome, also, Gaunt. Your tales of Wargdom are, obviously, beautiful. It enrages me to think of this blasphemous Warg-A-Tron, and yet I love to hear the story of the most noble Wargs. Is there no end to their greatness?

As many know the people of the elder children of Illuvitar have always had a great hatred for the warg, as can be seen by the neglect of the species in their historical document, yes even those who visit the elves gain a growing hatred for the warg. This can be seen in the slander perpetrated against all wargs in Bilbo Baggins personal memoirs. But where did this hatred begin? After months of researching many-a-lost historical document, I have found what I believe to be the true origin of the hatred the elves have for the great and illustrious species known as the warg.

Long before the first elves awoke, the wargs kept watch over the lands of Middle Earth. Melkor, having driven the Valar to the west had claimed the lands of Middle Earth for himself. His dominion, however, was not unopposed. The warg tribes united under one banner and strove to keep the lands safe. During this war, they stumbled upon the first Elven settlements, and the strongest and wisest of the elves were each taken for a month at a time and educated and were granted the strength and wisdom of the warg. These new champions for the elvish race returned and enlightened their brethren with their newfound wisdom. The wargs were hailed as the saviors of all, for a short while. It did not take Melkor long, however, to discover this amazing gift. It was then that he sent his servents to hide in the forests near the elvish settlements and await their champions. These champions and others were taken and were never seen again. Soon, orcs appeared in the lands and the good feelings the elves felt toward the wargs changed for they blamed the wargs for Melkor’s cruelty. They believed that the wargs were sent to get them off guard. Thus their beloved heroes became hated and those who fraternized with the wargs were executed. Soon the wargs, in sadness, had to leave and the elves have hated them since.
