| Sep 7, 2015 at 0:50 | comment | added | Lexible | @JonathonWisnoski Yes. But my "what if" assumes either (1) that something that can be corrupted can be uncorrupted, or (2) souls are created before they are born (which is right in line with "The Music of the Ainur" being Eru's 'plan' for all creation). | |

| Sep 6, 2015 at 18:12 | comment | added | Jonathon | @Lexible The problem with that is that Orcs are born corrupted, so it is a soul that never knew goodness. I could imagine Mairon being reborn uncorrupted, but not a being who never existed in such a form. | |
| Sep 6, 2015 at 14:58 | comment | added | Lexible | "There is no ways millions of Orcs reincarnate into the Undying Lands." What if they arrive in the Halls of Mandos in uncorrupted form? | |

| Sep 5, 2015 at 10:51 | comment | added | Jason Baker | I'm sorely tempted to close as a dupe of scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/26725/…. The short version is that we don't actually know where the Orcs came from, so the best answer for "why are they mortal?" is "because they are" | |
| Sep 5, 2015 at 6:33 | comment | added | Valorum | The implication is the progenitors of the orc race are elves, not that each individual orc is a former elf | |
