Description
In the elder days when Sauron first took up in Mordor and began make his war upon the Free Peoples, he sent this evil spawn into the junglelands of the South to subjugate all those realms of Wild Men and outposts of Númenor. While many achieved their master’s goals, there were those who lost their path and ended up starting their own tribes. Even after the War of the Ring, their numbers were great and they presented Aragorn and subsequent kings a major obstacle in freeing the lands once controlled by The Shadow.
These orcs are green and black skinned, lanky, and built for travel both on the ground and among the tree branches. Initially, they used swords and whips as per the typical orc, but eventually took up the weapons of their enemies as they were better suited for the environment.
