1I don't know that immortality is ever described as a gift. Do you have an instance in mind? And why do you differentiate between "gift" and "doom"?– Matt GuttingCommented Dec 23, 2016 at 23:45

1Didn't find one, sorry. But the final step yes, what happens to ents, orcs, skin-changers, eagles, etc. @MattGutting– SchneejägerCommented Dec 23, 2016 at 23:54

1@BalinsonofFundin: Orcs are either Elves or Men. Skin-changers are men.– ShamshielCommented Dec 23, 2016 at 23:59

2@BalinsonofFundin: "Others say that he is a man descended from the first men who lived before Smaug and the other dragons came into this part of the world, and before the goblins came into the hills out of the North. I cannot say, though I fancy [this] is the true tale."– ShamshielCommented Dec 24, 2016 at 0:08
