Durin's Folk | Wars of the Dwarves and Orcs - Tolkien Lore Video

The War of the Dwarves and Orcs is an often overlooked part of Middle-earth's history, and yet it's crucial to the conflicts of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Today we'll explore how Thorin's ancestors brought down the Orc hoards of Azog, and how his descendants helped to save Middle-earth from the evil armies of Sauron.

For more information on the histories of Middle-earth, check out these videos on the rise of Sauron, the Witch-King of Angmar, and the Wood-elves of Mirkwood.
