"Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes."
IGN recently published an article giving us our first look at the Orcs in The Rings of Power, and they look...not friendly. Benjamin Bassett and Shridar Bhagavathula from the Reading Tolkien Podcast joined us to discuss the thematic purpose of orcs in Tolkien's legendarium, and their devilish design in the Amazon series.
