TheodenOfRohan wrote: Great story, but concerning the invading Uruks who attacked his village: Uruks didn't exist 'in times forgotten'; they were an invention of Saruman's immediately prior to the War of the Ring. Not exactly, no. Those were the Uruk-hai; there were also the Black Uruks of Mordor, but I forget when those originated. There is no difference between Uruks and Uruk-Hai, as Tolkien commonly interchanged between the two. The term of Uruk or uruk-Hai, however, was still reserved to only the larger orcs of Mordor and Isengard, although there were noticeable differences between Saruman's Uruks and the ones from Mordor.
