Orcs were wicked and cruel creatures brought about by the first Dark Lord of Middle Earth, Morgoth. They were the product of Morgoth taking droves of elves captive and submitting them to dark torture and mutilation, leaving them a ruined and terrible form of life. As the ages passed, orcs split and diversified according to their specific origins. Goblin, orc, uruk, and Uruk-hai all fell under the malformed classification of ‘orc’.

They were miserable beings, hating everyone including their fellow orcs. They made no beautiful things, but rather designed cunning devices made to hurt and destroy. Orcs delighted in the technology of war and some fancied themselves harbingers of progress itself. 

After Sauron’s defeat at the end of the Third Age, what orcs remained scattered and fled in dismayed horror. They were never a threat to the world again and likely went extinct in the age of peace that followed.
