The exact origin of Orcs in LOTR is not exact Tolkien tried many different ideas but they eventually died Some ideas were published in the Silmarillion

Evil, in LOTR, are not capable of independent creation Mogorth was the first to create them, and was able to do so from nothing Females are ever mentioned but are implied

The first tale involved with Orcs is found in The Fall of Gondolin, and were made by Morgoth (circa 1917) In the Silmarillion, Orcs are suggested descended from East Elves captured by Melkor, their minds and bodies distorted and corrupted.

The corrupted origin can be seen in the Peter Jackson films of LOTR where Saruman says “Do you know how the Orcs first came into being? They were elves once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life..." There is also another theory that Orcs originally twisted humans

First age: Bred as core force for Morgoth, Out numbered most armies but usually easily defeated by superior skill, although no power was great enough to beat the dark lord Second age: Ring of power is created, despite its insane amout of power Sauron continues to use Orcs as his main force being that they were expandable Third age: Now under Sauron and the Witch king of Angmar, despite out numbering other armies, more battles took place but the Orcs lost (War of the ring) Fourth and beyond: Orcs continue to dwell posing no threat

Uruks of Isenguard were more impatient in the movies and only used ladders Uruk-Hai are younger, stronger, and more reckless in battle

Orcs of Mordor took the time to build rams, siege towers, and trebuchets Orcs of Mordor are older, not quite as strong, but more organized in combat situations

The Falchions: Uruk-hai used them Combined weight and power of an axe with the versatility of a sword

Crossbows also used by Orcs Certain Orcs carried a crossbow and bolts Crank back to load bolts and fire Used to pick of distant enemies

The sappers operated the siege engines Ballistas (giant crossbows) used to breach walls, unique to Orcs Trebuchets, used to destroy walls and thin enemy lines Catapult used primarily to weaken walls
