Also, the corrupted elves are rather off, seeing as Tolkien eventually decided Orcs were bred from various kinds of Men....

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 01:38, April 28, 2017 (UTC) Then why do orcs appear in the year of the trees before the Men woke up, please tell me I would like to know.

It is probably because at that time, Tolkien had decided Orcs were corrupted Elves, while later he revised his opinion. Thanks for telling me :D
