Subject: How to make an Orc
According to The Silmarillion
"But of those unhappy ones who were ensnared by Melkor little is
known of certainty. For who of the living has descended into the pits
of Utumno, or has explored the darkness of the counsels of Melkor?
Yet this is held by the wise of Eressea, that the all those of the
Queindi who came into the hands of Melkor, were put there in prison,
and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did
Melkor breed the hideous race of race Orcs in envy and mockery of the
Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes. For the Orcs
had life and multiplied after the manner of the Children of Iluvator;
and naught that had life of its own , nor the semblence of life,
could Melkor make since his rebellion in Ainulindale before the
Beginning: so say the wise. And deep in their dark hearts the Orcs
loathed the master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their
misery. This it may be was the vilest deed of Melkor, and the most
hateful to Iluvator."
