| Yrch |
Near the end of that time known as the Peace of Arda, the Sindarin Elves of King Thingol and Queen Melian found in the East an evil they had not known before. The woodlands and mountains on their borders began to stir with evil beings for which they had no name. These being were the terrible Goblin people, who were destined always to be the servants and harbingers of evil powers. In Sindarin tongue they were named Yrch, in imitation of their own word for themselves: Uruks. In later Ages they became known as Orcs in the common language of Westron.
