This Necromancer gathered to him numerous Orcs, and although many believed he was a Ringwraith or just a human, the Necromancer was revealed, through the efforts of Gandalf, who bravely went into Dol Guldur, to be the Maiar Sauron returned from the Downfall of Numenor.

But even though the Valar did conquer Morgoth and force him out into the Void, the Orcs still survived inside the Earth, in caverns and pits, waiting for a leader to announce himself.Ī Dark Age began in the Third Age of the Sun when a dark form named the Necromancer appeared in Dol Guldur, an evil kingdom in Mirkwood. The Valar agreed to end Morgoth and his reign and they went to Middle-earth and completely obliterated the Orc legions and forced the few survivors to flee into the Mountains and they cowered under the Earth, fearing those outside. They killed every Noldor on the battle and went on to conquer Beleriand and other parts of Middle-earth and would have won had not Earendil, father of Elrond, sailed to Valinor to plead for the Valar's assistance in freeing Middle-earth from the terror the Orcs installed. The Noldor met their final defeat in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, where the Orcs had grown so numerous that they ambushed the Elves and through human treachery, the Orcs prevailed.

This was successful only a small portion of the Noldor survived and the Orcs could once again break free and slay any Elves they wanted. This siege was successful, but then suddenly the siege broke and Morgoth sent tongues of flame out of Angband's volcanoes to burn up all the Noldor.

This was the 'Glorious Battle' for although many Elves fell, the Orcs were indeed imprisoned within their own Fortress along with Morgoth and thus began the Siege of Angband. The Orcs were conquering everyplace, so the Elves all teamed up and drove the Orcs back into Angband, slaughtering many on the way. This was the Second Battle, the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, in the Elvish Noldor tongue. They were met by King Thingol and King Denethor's Gray Elves, who slaughtered all the Orcish armies. The Orcs came out of Angband, Morgoth's new Headquarters, in black armor and armed with poisoned blades, and they assailed the Elvish armies. This was the First Battle.Īt the end of the Ages of Stars, the Orcs marched out in open war, and the Wars of Beleriand started. The Dwarves forged them swords and then they killed all the Orcs and drove them out of the land of Beleriand. The Orcs assaulted the initially defenseless Elves but then the Elves went to the Dwarves of the kingdoms of Nogrod and Belegost and they paid for weapons. This murderous assault of the Orcs took the Elves by surprise, for they had been living years of peace and were unaccustomed to Monsters or war. They were bred by Morgoth in Utumno, his first fortress, and then they were unleashed to Middle-earth during the Fourth Age of the Stars. This filled them with rage and anger at their new forms and came under the service of Morgoth until his defeat at the War of Wrath were he was imprisoned in the Void until the Dagor Dagorath.

Zhelruka is shortened zhelezna ruka - iron hand.The origins of the Orcs are a mystery, although the most likely case is that they were once Elves who were kidnapped by the First Dark Lord, Morgoth, being tortured by him and experimented on to due to Morgoth's obsession to create life, and bend it to his will. It was sad that none of Slavic peoples had any analogies in Fantasy world #1. That was unexpected! Thank you SSG to introduce some bits of Slavic culture to the Middle-Earth. So these dwarves are based on a Slavic culture, most close to Czech i guess. Examples of theses dwarves' names are Strahek, Mozhek, Zadokh. In U23 we encounter a new group of dwarves named Zhelruka.
