History
Gorkil is a puppet ruler used by Sauron to hold sway over the disparate tribes and unions among the Orcs of the Mountains. From his stronghold in the Ettenmoors, the Goblin King threatens the Free Peoples of the North and gathers great following. After a skirmish at the fortress, the forces of Gloin and Glorfindel put an end to Gorkil's reign, and the Orc host is dispersed.
