Orcs of the Iron Hills

As with all Mountains the Iron Hills have gained their Orcs. Just as these hills were settled later in the history of Middle Earth by Dwarves, so too were they settled later by ORCS . These bands tend to be smaller and less organized than those in the Grey Mountains and Misty Mountains. Their great asset is the same as DWARVES OF THE IRON HILLS : Iron works.
Here the Orc bands that have been forced to this far Eastern Outpost, have found themselves a place where they can rely on good supplies of fine iron that they make into some of the best Orc made weapons and armor.
Today they are rebuilding from their decision to join in The Battle of Five Armies, where they were used as shock troops by the Orc leadership. Today only a few small bands survive, and they are hard pressed to remain in their homeland in the Iron Hills.
