 But
of those unhappy ones who were ensnared by Melkor little is known of a
certainty. For who of the living has decended into the pits of
Utumno, or has explored the darkness of the counsels of Melkor?
Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressea, that all those of the
Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broke, were put
there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and
enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of Orcs in
envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the
bitterest foes. For the Orcs had life and multiplied after the
manner of the Children of Iluvatar; and naught that had life of
its own, nor the semblance of life, could ever Melkor make since his
rebellion in the Ainulindale before the Beginning: so say the
wise. And deep in their dark hearts the Orcs loathed the Master
whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery. This it
may be was the vilest deed of Melkor, and the most hateful to Iluvatar. |

Left: Peirce
Richardson against Carlos Duque of MU Fencing. I don't
believe Mr. Duque was ready for Peirce's constant flick attacks and ripostes
to his back. |

Above and
Left: Peirce Richardson against Ryan Villiard. I
really thought Ryan would beat Peirce (he has a lot of tricks up his
sleeve). But Peirce handled it quite well, and moved on to the
semi-finals. |

Above: Peirce
Richardson against David Neevel of Wisconsin. As I seem
to remember, there was some disagreement as to what constituted an
attack. |

Kang Sun against Robert Bralow (he of the orange
socks). Mr. Bralow went on to win this tournament. |
