The First Orc Spoke Not From Pain — And Morgoth Realized He Had Not Broken Everything

Before the wars that would tear Middle Earth apart, before the first battle of Beleriand, there was a moment that John Ronald Reuel Tolkien himself never settled and that his readers have argued over for decades. The origin of the orcs is the greatest unresolved debate in the entire legendarium. Were they corrupted elves, twisted men, or something that should never have been written down at all. This story asks a darker and a more hopeful question at the same time. What happened the first time an orc spoke a word that was not pain. What happened when the dark lord who made them looked into the eyes of his own weapon and saw, for a single heartbeat, a light he could not reach.
