It’s possible that you, much like myself, have developed a strong affection for Adar on “The Rings of Power” and his kin, the Uruks, who are often disparagingly referred to as orcs. If that’s the case, then you may have found yourself drawn back to a significant piece of Tolkien’s lore. In the epic text preceding “The Lord of the Rings”, titled “The Silmarillion”, Tolkien reveals something quite intriguing about The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, the final great battle between Middle-earth’s forces of good and Sauron’s evil during the Second Age (the era in which “The Rings of Power” is set). He states, “On that day, all living beings were divided, and even beasts and birds could be found on either side, save for the Elves. They alone remained undivided and followed Gil-galad.” What does he mean by some of every kind?
