Where do orc souls go?
If they did come from corrupted Elves, then logic would say “yes”, their souls go to the Undying Lands (see RichSaila’s response).
Are Orcs tortured Elves?
Orcs are not, individually, tortured elves. They are thought to have descended from tortured and twisted Elves. Tolkien has the biological concept of inheritance of acquired characteristics, which is dead wrong in reality but quite common in fairy-stories.
What happened to the Elves after the War of the Ring?
After the destruction of the One Ring, the power of the Three Rings of the Elves ended and the Fourth Age, the Age of Men, began. Most Elves left for Valinor; those that remained in Middle-earth were doomed to a slow decline until, in the words of Galadriel, they faded and became a “rustic folk of dell and cave”.
Are Orcs made from dead Elves?
No. Orcs are neither dead nor undead. In the animal sense of the term, they are alive in their bodies. Tolkien tells us that Morgoth, incapable of creation, could make evil creatures by distorting and debasing good ones.
Are Orcs immortal like elves?
In this case, yes the Orcs would be immortal, presumably. Unless they die in battle, of course, which many do. The last theory is the one that Tolkien wrote last, but the changes seem not to have propagated to his works. This is that Orcs are corrupted Men, not Elves.
What happens to the Orcs after LOTR?

Are the Uruk-Hai Orcs?
Uruk-hai (for short, Uruks) were brutal warriors of Middle-earth, and the strongest Orcs, who dwelt in Isengard.
Did Uruk-Hai used to be elves?
The Truth of the Uruk-hai The Uruk-hai are simple crossbreeds of human and orc, equivalent to a corrupted version of half-elves. There are two subspecies: Morgul Uruk-hai, bred by Morgoth and Sauron, similar to orcs but much larger and stronger.
Why are there no female Orcs?
Mostly because they were not much dependent on the Dark Lord Sauron. The orcs could procreate on their own hence making them self. sustaining. They survived until the Fourth Age but lost the direction and purpose of their lives.
What happens to orcs once they die?
Orcs, in Tolkien’s view, are akin to animals who have intelligence but no souls. They possess no Fea, and safe to say they will definitely not be welcomed into the Halls of Mandos. Perhaps they will lurk around as ghouls or ghosts, but even those beings used to have souls. I believe that once they die, they die.
Are Orcs corrupted by evil spirits?
Theory #2: Orcs are Elves corrupted by malign spirits, or parts of malign spirits. They still have their souls, but were blocked from their kinder impulses by their Dark Lord. In this case, the souls would return to Mandos and possibly be cleansed of their corruption.
Are Orcs Elves?
Orcs are believed to be East Elves that were taken by Melkor, twisted and corrupted until they would become those creatures, now called Orcs. It is believed that like Elves, they are immortals. However, is there anything left in them that is even reminiscent of elves?
Where do Orcs come from?
We are not sure where Orcs really came from. However, not all Orcs are real Orcs. Some are fell Maiar inhabiting the bodies of Orcs. Yes, it is mentioned in the Simarillion that Morgoth did something terrible to the elves he waylaid, but we are unsure what he did.
