Orcs: Their true origin and history

The Orcs were meant to represent warped and corrupted Elves. Tolkien eventually understood, however, that this makes absolutely no sense. Tolkien believed it to be abhorrent and excessively harsh. And where is the immortality of Orcs if they are corrupted Elves? What transpires to their spirits once they pass away? 

There are a lot more philosophical question. Tolkien chose to change the origin of the orcs to address these issues. He completely changed the history and claimed that humans had awakened much earlier than was depicted in the older version (He also had further justifications for this modification, including the need to more accurately reflect the cultural diversity and technological advancement of Humans).

He claimed that Melkor corrupted a large number of Humans back in the days of their creation, turning them into Orcs. Sadly, Tolkien passed away before he could complete this revision. Therefore, in Published Silmarillion, Tolkien's son used the earlier iterations.

Even the hobbits were able to kill a few orcs, proving that they are not the strongest creatures on Middle Earth, although they do have a large population. A scene in The Lord of the Rings depicts what appears to be some sort of birth, in which full-sized, viscous Orcs emerge from a murky, sludge-filled membrane prepared to fight. Many concerns remain after viewing this scenario, like how this occurs, whether or not this is how they were all created, and where the first Orcs originated.

There is a considerable misunderstanding over the many Orc species as well. Despite the fact that Tolkien employed a variety of words to describe these beings, they are all considered to be of the Orc type. Orcs can be divided into Uruk-hai, also known as Isengarders, which are the Orcs bred in Isengard, Hobgoblins, and Goblins, a breed that is stronger and larger than an average Orc (who live underground in places like the Misty Mountains). 

Half-Orcs and Mordor Orcs are two less well-known subgroups. Before Sauron entered the picture, there was another Dark Lord. The first Dark Lord, Morgoth (sometimes spelled Melkor), was responsible for creating the Orc race. The Orcs that Sauron produced for his own army are referred to as Mordor Orcs.

Some Elves from Cuiviénen were taken hostage by the first Dark Lord Melkor. He beat them, tortured them, and then dismembered their corpses to create the first twisted and disfigured creatures known as orcs. The existence of female Orcs was established by Tolkien. The Orcs, headed by Melkor, dwell underground in the shadowy depths of the world alongside the fallen Maiar (spiritual beings that had existed since the beginning of time). Until they emerged from the depths of their own Middle Earthly hell, this vast gang of festering evil resided underground and out of sight. The Dwarves were the first race to confront the Orcs. At first, the Orcs did not pose much of a threat because they were dispersed, fragmented, and without a leader.

The Lord of the Rings' magic is more mental than physical. Saruman summoned the Uruk-hai more through a formula and spell—like a curse—than by just waving his wand and having them appear. Saruman also convinced Men who opposed Rohan to ally with the Orc army by using magic. Although Peter Jackson, the trilogy's director, never explicitly states it, it is implied that the Uruk-hai were the offspring of a crossbreeding between Man and Orc. The concept of placing a curse on a woman's unborn child (either before or after birth, as in Rosemary's Baby) is explored in a number of fictional works (typically horror films), and the kind of sorcery Saruman employed to create the Uruk-hai—which are distinct from Half-Orcs—was comparable to this.
