You have it.

All right, something interesting. Name an Orc who actually spoke aloud some thoughts concerning the metaphysical nature of the M-E universe.

And I would like at least some backup of your guess (or even actual quote, but that's not necessary, just a brief outline will do), not just a name, as I would consider that just a blind shot and not count it.

Is this a trick question?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-02-2008, 02:08 PM

What do you call "trick"? No, it is not. It is a normal question, one Orc indeed did it.

Gollum the Great · 04-03-2008, 02:10 PM

Is this in LOTR?

Eönwë · 04-04-2008, 12:16 AM

Yes, but sadly I can't remember the name now

Try to search - there's not that many Orcs in Tolkien's works after all, at least not many who speak and could get into such deep discussions
