Did I not say that the siege wasn't successful? See, you found Orc camps on the mountain, which you destroyed, but there was no city or fortress. So there technically was no siege. The city at Gundabad is well hidden, not even the Crimson Elves can find it.

Speganomad, unless your soldiers walked in, got shot at, the walked right out, there would definitely have been blood. People don't walk out of brutal meat-mixer battles like this unscathed. And he didn't have to trust the Elves, all they wanted him to do was leave. He certainly didn't need to bring an army in to a place that has literally no value to him. There is quite literally no point to this conflict!

Glosur stood on the meeting date in the Coldfells. He heard footsteps, and out came what was surely the Orc Lord. Glosur couldn't see his face, as he was covered from head to toe in gold highlighted mithril armor that glistened in the light of the moon. With a warhammer and shield of similar design he looked more like a holy knight than an Orc Lord.

"What else did you expect, Dwarf?" He said looking at Glosur' s expression of mild surprise. "Did you expect me to come unprotected to a meeting with a bloodthirsty tyrant? Or is your surprise more at the fact that an Orc elected to wear white? I have worked hard to change the way I think, the way society thinks, all my life. I've conditioned myself and my peers to think outside the box, in white instead of black, in peaceful living instead of warmongering. All my life I have toiled to get my fellow Orcs to don white. To turn the Orcish civilization into something greater! And how does Eru repay my decades of work? By sending the most odious of species to take that which has been our home for so very long. You speak of how my commander fired the first shot, but who was the one trying to evict him, evict us from our home. Did you expect us to simply stand aside and let you take Moria from us? The commander acted honorably. You Dwarves, on the other hand, did not. So tell me Dwarf, what did you hope to gain from a meeting with one whom you have already marked for robbery and destruction?"
