: : There's a fair bit about this in Morgoth's Ring and whilst yours is the popular-held belief, it is suggested that they could also come from men or even that they were corruptions of other beings and spirits.: This may have been dealt with already but... wouldn't orcs deriving from elves imply immortality (or at least extreme longevity)? I don't think anyone can wholly answer that but if you scroll down to the Orc Death/Morgoth's Ring threads you may find some good arguments & points of discussion.
