    That’s fair. Orcs aren’t from the east though, TECHNICALLY, but I understand what you mean.

    It’s definitely open to different interpretations, fully agree.

        It’s been a while for me but I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Men. Elves woke up in the West of Beleriand.

        No one really can definitively say where orcs came from but if we assume they were corrupted elves, which I like, then they are still technically a ‘western’ race.

        Nah, you’re right! Elves woke up in the distant East as did Men. So I guess orcs could be considered eastern by my headcanon but so would everyone else like you said so I don’t know where that leaves us. Haha

          Starting in the east and going west to die (like the sun) is a common trope in these epics, and actually just a common theme throughout culture and religions

          The east could just refer to normal ass middle earth which was to the east of beleriand as well
