On the old Plaza, there was an... almost a novel written on the subject, clearly elaborated over 2 threads.
It is a shame that got lost in the dust, as I see it didn't make it here. I'll do my best to try and search my archives if those old hard drives are any good at this point.

Anyone can help digging?

Greetings, @Ravion. Glad you have found your way back :smile:

I remember the threads about Orc origins too! I will attempt to help you go digging. There's a link on the left side to the Wayback machine, which has the Old Plaza threads, but I know a lot of stuff got lost when it finally went Mount Doom. :headshake:

I'm not sure if you've checked into the Lore sub-forum "Halfirian Archive" which was set up here as a tribute to the late halfir to restore gems from the Old Plaza. I will add the Orc origin threads to the list and start searching with you.

Again, welcome back!

Good to be back after such a long hiatus!

Gonna crawl through the WBM and some of my locally saved topics, if I need help I'll be sure to let you know here!
Also, gonna try and dig out my old high-school graduation paper on battle tactics in LotR hehe
