- Just the other day a friend of mine and I were discussing this. He wondered
- if the entwives weren't twisted into trolls. Now orcs were
- twisted elves (reading the Silmarillean confirms that) and I

- But since Morgoth couldn't create life the trolls had to have been something
- else originally, right?
