"Uh. Well. They retrieved the Silmarils and they've said that by their actions the House of Fëanáre has forfeited their claim to the Silmarils and they're expecting them to object."

"...that's an interesting way to handle property rights but if they in fact don't object -?"

"Then I have no idea."

Annie bounces this information to Rirosseth.

I mean, I'm not impressed, but they won't have the fight they're looking for. ...you can ask them who to suggest de-oathing orcs to?

Okay. "Who should I talk to about de-oathing orcs, do you think?"

"...Eönwë? Probably? She's the herald of Manwë, she's sort of running incarnate-related things..."

"Okay. Where is she?"

Grand shimmery tents, thataway.

Annie goes thataway.

There are people at the edges of the grand shimmery tents. They ask her business.

Deep breath. "I have otherworldly magic and can release people from oaths. I would like to speak to Eonwë about freeing the orcs."

They look flabbergasted. They usher her in. Eönwë is a little too big to be a person, and glowy in a way her sense will fail to catch. "Yes, child?"

Annie repeats the bit about the otherworldly magic and that she would like to free orcs with it.

He squints at her. "I see. The orcs are almost all dead and in Mandos' keeping; it might be difficult to put them somewhere where you can do this for them."

"I do need to touch them to do it," she acknowledges.

"Perhaps some living ones can still be found. As a test."

"Okay. It does have a potential side effect which I thought was too dangerous to risk while the Enemy was active but isn't such a disaster with her out of the picture. Sometimes people subjected to this particular power become fixated on another person they know or who is around them at the time. I can't direct that. It seems most likely to leave orcs attached to other orcs."

"Will it affect married people?"

"I don't know. I haven't tried it on anyone married."

"With orcs it probably does not matter. It would be devastating for married Elves. I do not know if orcs even marry."

"I'm not going to try it on any Elves who don't want me to."

Nod. "I will see if some orcs can be rounded up."

"Thank you."

It takes them a few weeks. Most orcs are fleeing.
