	Orc (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the oldest "theory" proposed by Tolkien (found in The Fall of Gondolin, from The Book of Lost Tales, circa 1917 — the first tale of Middle-earth to be written in full), Orcs were made of stone and slime through the sorcery of Morgoth ("bred from the heats and slimes of the earth").
		Orcs are used as soldiers and henchmen by both the greater and lesser villains of The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings — Morgoth, Sauron and Saruman.
		The Orc incursion in the northern Shire occurred during the reign of Arassuil as Chieftain of the Dúnedain, and the Orcs led by Golfimbul were but the most western pack of Orcs which had left the Hithaeglir.

	Orcs of Middle-earth
		Radburg was one of the Orcs under the command of Shagrat, Captain of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, during the fight with Orcs of Minas Morgul led by Gorbag on March 14, 3019.
		Orc leader of Moria during the War of the Dwarves and the Orcs.
		He was one of the few survivors of the fight between the Orcs of the Tower led by Shagrat and the Orcs of Minas Morgul led by Gorbag on March 14, 3019.

	Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien translated "Middle Earth" as Endor (or sometimes Endóre) and Ennor in the Elvish languages Quenya and Sindarin, respectively.
		Tolkien insisted that Middle-earth is (part of) our Earth in several of his letters, in one of them (no. 211) estimating the end of the Third Age to about 6,000 years before his own time.
		Orcs and Trolls are evil creatures bred by Morgoth.

	The Complete Middle Earth Page
		Orcs and goblins are supposedly one and the same thing in Tolkien, but he describes them quite differently in THE HOBBIT (where they are goblins, mostly, with only one or two Orc references) and in THE LORD OF THE RINGS (where they are Orcs, mostly, with only one or two goblin references).
		Orcs were also fond of tying their prisoners to trees and torturing them to death.
		The Orc chieftain who could throw Boromir, Captain of Gondor, to the ground must have been a considerable warrior in his own right, a champion of the Orcs in war.

	One Risus to Rule Them All...
		The typical Orc (1) or Orc (2) would be most appropriate to represent the common goblin, while an Orc (3) or Orc (4) would be the garden variety Uruk, or common orc.
		As orcs are corrupted elves in their origin, their enchantments are as negative images of elven works.
		For instance, orcs may be able to make cloaks which serve the wearer best when in barren or bleak surroundings.

	Battles of Middle-earth
		Orcs came down from the hills on either side of the gate and an army of Easterlings marched from the shadow of the Ash Mountains.
		The Orcs were defeated by a group of Hobbits led by Bandobras Took, who charged at Golfimbul and knocked the Orc leader's head off with a club.
		The Orcs in the valley regrouped and rejoined the battle.

	Middle Earth, Week 4
		The tossed orc bounced off and managed to land on his feet, but was too groggy to do much for some time.
		There were a grand total of seven orcs, one troll, one Viking-looking man, and this giant shadow who seemed to be the boss.
		Daewen engaged the swordsman and, it seemed the shadow, the troll moved but slowly, and so that left the rest of us to cope with the seven orcs, three of whom were noticeably larger than the other four.

	The Death of Middle Earth
		He killed every orc in the clan, including his wife, and struck a vow with the earth.
		The elf maiden was given an orc name of Prakhat and was allowed to raise her son, Morsul, as an acknowledged son of the chieftain.
		She watched her son killing both orcs and elves, and she knew he was lost to her, marked for quick death, or worse - long life alone as an orc.

	The Death of Middle Earth
		References to "THE" KH refer to the collective body of currently extant manuscripts edited by Sharmog Dakarak, specifically as cited for source material for the fictional work, "The Death of Middle Earth".
		Orc speech is by nature a hodge-podge of corrupted and localized dialects, with base languages of Black Speech & Valarin and heavy influences from Sindarian and Westron.
		An orc ghost, sometimes summoned by Sharmogs for guidence or cursings, at other times haunting places of death.

	Sports in Middle-earth
		Though in stature the least of Middle-earth's sentient denizens, Hobbits can in truth be considered the progenitors of modern English sport.
		While Orcs no longer participate in organized sports in Eriador or Gondor, there are rumors that in Mordor they do take part in cruel contests organized by the Dark Lord for the amusement of himself and the Nazgûl.
		Such contests can't be scheduled, of course, since Orcs can't be reliably expected to wander into Dwarf realms (unless part of a scheduled invasion from Mordor, of course).

	Sword Forum International swordforum.com
		When I heard that he would be directing LotR, I suggested that each of the Middle Earth cultures should have its own idiosyncratic methods of fighting and of general movement as well.
		Given the richness of Tolkien's mythology, it would imply that each Middle Earth culture developed its own unique martial arts.
		From the sinister Orcs of Moria to the brave and fair Elves that resisted the malevolent charge on the front lines, Tony Wolf's work is seen in the unique fighting styles exhibited by each race to an almost anthropological depth.

		But with that, the elves also know that their days in Middle Earth are numbered.
		Another point to note is that with the destruction of the Master Ring, the elven rings will also lose their power, so that is why the Elves will have to leave Middle Earth at the end of the tale.

	GreenBooks.TheOneRing.net™ Special Guest The Science of Middle-earth: Sex and the Single Orc
		In The Science of Middle-earth I contrasted the reproduction of orcs with that of all other 'speaking peoples', noting that only in orcs is there no mention of females in any of Tolkien's work.
		But in stories that seldom if ever see the Orcs except as soldiers of armies in the service of the evil lords we naturally would not learn much about their lives.
		From this I discussed several options, including the possibility that all orcs are female, and they reproduce clonally.

	Orcs
		Note that the orc on the right seems to have two noses--either that, or the worst deviated septum in the history of Middle-earth.
		Tolkien describes many different breeds of orcs, as this illustration from The Hobbit demonstrates.
		Tolkien makes it clear in LotR that Uruks are the result of cross-breeding between humans and orcs.
