: : : i think that the only way for a orc to be redeemed would be when they went to the Halls of Awaiting when they died.. if they were still allowed to go there. They would be free of there "doctored" bodies (?) and would be much the same as the other elves there.. : : Gandalf always held that even though Gollum had been under the direct influence of the One Ring for so long, and done so many terrible and many nameless things, that he could eventually be cured. Why would the same not hold for orcs? They are, in general, corrupted elves, and we know that elves have just as great a propensity for evil as they do good. Orcs have just lived under the corruptive influence for far longer. : : -RR : Tell that to Smaug !! : Jan 'Fraid ya lost me on that one. I assume it referred to something in the aboe two paragraphs, but after re-reading them several times I am still at a loss as to how to apply your comment. -RR
