Elves, Dwarfs and Orcs are creatures whose existance has been long forgotten by man since the dawn of time. Many conclusions have been drawn to try and explain the existance of this beings. You see, elves and dwarfs once lived along side man peacefully. They depended on each other for their survival. However, there was this other race known as the orcs. Orcs are bloodthirsty savages who care only for their own greedy needs. Even among themselves, there are signs of hatred towards each other. The funny thing about orcs is that they were once elves. These elves were fallen warriors during the God wars and were taken prisoners by their enemies. They were badly tortured and mutilated and then killed. Now their souls linger on in Middle Earth as orcs, sowing discontent among the other races.
Elves. They are the one of the so called Greater Races of Middle Earth. Such grace and might do these elves possess that even the mightiest of man have fallen fighting the weakest of elves. Elves are creatures of grace and beauty. They live in solitude, away in the most secluded places of Middle Earth. This place in which the elves reside in is known, in the common tongue of man as, Lothlorien. This was proved by J.R.R Tolkien in his book "The Lord of The Rings". We are in dept to this great man who has revealed to us so many secrets of Middle Earth. Anyway, Elves are known to for their excellent marksmanship as rangers. Rarely, has an elf missed his target with a bow and arrow. They also pocess certain magical powers which give them the upperhand in most battles. However, the most noticeable feature about an elf is its immortality. Yes, i know it comes as a surprise to you but that is the truth. Elves are immortal.
Dwarfs are another race whose existance is shrouded in misery. They live in the mountains rarey ever interacting with the other races. However, times are changing and the dwarfs are emerging from the their homes deep beneath the mountains. Dwarfs were once known throughout the whole of middle earth for their gift in mining and smithing. Their armours have been know to withstand the crushing impact dealt by orges and trolls. Some of the amours are said to have been able to survive the attacks of demons, dragons and balrogs. The secret to their success is the fact that they are made from mithril the strongest material in Middle Earth. And there is only one place in which mithril can be found, the Dwarven mines. The dwarfs were so skilled in mining this material that they were producing tons of it per day even though it is one of the rarest materials ever. The dwarfs soon became one of the richest races on Earth from selling the mithril ore.
Hence, from this article of mine I hoped that you have learned a great deal more about these magnificent creatures of Middle Earth. And yes, even the Orcs.
Oh, yes! Before I forget, do remember to catch my next article on "Demons, Dragons and Balrogs".
