Fate of dwarfs, ents, orcs?
I tried a search on this topic, specifically on dwarves, but didn't turn up anything so, hopefully, it isn't repetitive.
Is anything known, either definitively or via JRRT drafts or speculation, about the fates of such as dwarfs, ents, and orcs. In a 1978 edition of the complete guide to Middle-earth Robert Foster says Quote:
Iluvatar has set upon the Children of Aule beyond the Circles of the world Elves and men know nothing, and if Dwarves know they do not speak of it." And he seems to also at least hint at the possibility of an orc "redemption", Letters #153: Quote:
Oh yeah, and what about the fate of the ents beyond Middle-earth? Were there rooms for them in the Halls of Mandos?
