About this deal

During the War of the Elves and Sauron, in S.A. 1700, Orcs formed the main power of Sauron’s host. Despite the immeasurable number of Orcs, Sauron was defeated by the united hosts of Elves and Númenóreans. Still, Sauron was powerful east of the Misty Mountains, and the Orcs that inhabited the mountains and the eastern lands multiplied. Before you could get round Mirkwood in the North you would be right among the slopes of the Grey Mountains, and they are simply stiff with goblins, hobgoblins, and orcs of the worst description.” — Gandalf The Return of the King (1980)This is another animated adaptation, but this time, the goblins were portrayed to be the same as the orcs. In the movie, Sam says he sees orcs in the tower and that Bilbo called them goblins. The orcs and goblins in this film were similar to the creatures in the animated movie The Hobbit (1977). But there were more variations in sizes and shapes, and some of them had a more bluish color. [1]

TechnologyGoblins may seem to be a tribal and barbaric race. Still, they have more advanced technology compared to the other races in Middle-earth. In “The Hobbit”, you can read about it in the Over Hill and Under Hill chapter. Here, Tolkien states that the goblins make use of dark technology. The goblins were able to create devices that can kill in groups, they were able to come up with wheels and engines, and they have always loved to deal with explosives. The goblins were often equipped with scimitars, spears, axes, and bows.

Bosworth, Joseph; Toller, T. Northcote (1898). An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary. Vol.1 A-Fir. Clarendon Press. p.764. The corruption inherent to Orc being made them virtually powerless to resist the domination of a greater will – at first, this was Morgoth's, later Sauron's. While under such domination, Orcs were reduced to an "ant-like life." This was most plainly seen under Sauron's tyranny, as he operated on a smaller scale than did Morgoth and his foes were far weaker than the Noldor of the Elder Days. [16] The Orcish people thus cycled between periods of unity when they had a Dark Lord to unite them, and disunity when there was no Dark Lord. Tolkien explained in a note at the start of The Hobbit that he was using English to represent the languages used by the characters, and that goblin (or hobgoblin for the larger kind) was the English translation he was using for the word Orc, the hobbits' form of the name. Tolkien used the term goblin extensively in The Hobbit, and also occasionally in The Lord of the Rings, as when the Uruk-hai of Isengard are first described: "four goblin-soldiers of greater stature".

The first documented appearance of Orcs was in Y.T. 1330, when the Sindar observed a variety of "evil creatures" roaming Beleriand that included Orcs, Wolves, and "other fell beings of shadow." Small numbers of these evil creatures, thought to be scouting parties, had entered Beleriand over passes in the mountains as well as through the southern forests. In light of this new threat, Thingol commissioned the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost to craft arms for the Sindar, which they used to drive away the evil creatures and restore the peace. [6] Around this time the Dwarves told the Sindar that these "fell beasts" came from the ruins of Angband, and that they could also be found east of the Blue Mountains, where they troubled the Elves who dwelt there.

The Quenya Lexicon from approximately 1915 defines Orc as meaning “monster, demon”, and the Gnomish Lexicon dated 1917 defines Orc as “goblin”, alongside a definition of Gong as “one of a tribe of the Orcs, a goblin”. Christopher Tolkien also notes, with interest, that in the Lexicon, the word Gnome (later Noldor) is an emendation from GoblinIt is certain all Orcs were dependent on the Dark Lords in various ways: after the War of Wrath, the Orcs were confused and dismayed without Morgoth, and were easily scattered by their enemies. In the millennia after his defeat and banishment from Arda, they were without a leader and degenerated into small, quarrelsome tribes hiding in wild places, such as the Misty Mountains and the Mountains of Angmar.

The Orcs of the Misty Mountains, one of the few Orcish societies who enjoyed more autonomy despite still paying homage to the Necromancer (Sauron), and their chieftain Azog started out the War of the Dwarves and Orcs, and after their vanquishment they retreated in their caves. They appeared again in T.A. 2941, when the Battle of Five Armies took place, suffering yet another terrible defeat with the loss of the spawn of Azog, Bolg.

Development log

Tolkien derived the word orc from Old English believing it refers to a kind of evil spirits, [26] which in turn is thought to derive from Latin Orcus "Hades", although Tolkien doubted this etymology. [27] He also thought it survives in the modern language for sea-beasts, [28] such as the Orca Whale. Corruption. Greed. War. Lev is no stranger to the evils of the world, as he has spent his entire life fighting the predatory system that ensnared the world’s population and turned them into puppets for the leaders of humanity. But when he is assassinated, he finds himself in a new world — with different yet familiar evils. It’s a similar road he must traverse, but this time he can do so with a lifetime of experience behind him. Tolkien, J. R. R. (1994). Christopher Tolkien (ed.). The War of the Jewels.
