"Originated from" and "are" are two different things. Your comparison is the same as saying "All humans are single-celled beings", which isn't true.

ACTUALLY IN LORD OF THE RINGS THE ORCS ORIGINATED FROM ELVES

GET REKTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Or they were made independently as pale imitations of elves. Fangorn speculates that the trolls were made in such a manner as well, in order to be a counter to the ents. The creation of trolls certainly indicates that orcs could have been created without corrupting the elves. Tolkien had a lot of issues with the idea that orcs were irredeemably evil as it clashed with his strong Christian convictions about redemption and absolving of sins, so went off of the idea of them being corrupted elves in later life.

Though of course, he never solidified either idea so you can make whatever you want of that.

No, but I think as "basic" elf varieties go, those three are about it. Unless we're talking Elder Scrolls.

I decided to take the liberty of turning sea elves into Viking cultists. Hopefully that makes them interesting and individualistic enough. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

Yay creativity!

On a more serious note, this attitude that Orcs can't be Elves seems awfully out of place in a progressive society.

I thought orcs being elves was a bit odd but they certainly did a fine job at building it into the world of Tamriel. In the collaborative fantasy world that appears in Into The Fire, I know that orcs are native to Kal'sea, whilst elves live in a forested land-bridge which connects Engelain to Kal'sea. And seeing as Er Ril hates elves, but has a strange fondness for his lusty orcs, I think it would be a dishonour to him to link the two.

I was thinking of writing a story about Henry and him being a soldier and knight before deserting and becoming a heroic adventurer. since i keep referring to his shady past

i shall retcon him as being from Engelain instead of Kal'sea Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.
