- In reading the Silmarillion recently, I came across the following passage
- in the section "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" referring to
- the battle on Dagorlad between the Last Alliance and the forces of Sauron:
-
- All living things were divided in that day, and some of every
- kind, even of beasts and birds, were found in either host, save
- the Elves only.
-
- Does this mean that there were orcs and trolls fighting for Gil-Galad
- and Elendil in the last alliance? Ents fighting on both sides? Or
- am I reading too much into this passage?
