Deep within the dark pits of the mountains of Angmar, there dwells an army older than Mordor, older than Númenor, older than many who dwell within the world today, save for a few of the Eldar... [insert name].

In the first age, Morgoth made many armies, and these particular Orcs were sent beneath the mountains, with the intentions of attacking Mount Gundabad from below. When the Dark Lord was banished, they lost their purpose, and remained dormant. They went undiscovered for thousands of years, mining iron, and making incredible equipment that has long been forgotten, and was used by Morgoth's armies in the First Age. They continued to breed, and slowly made more caves in the mountains, to make room for the extra Orcs. Much of their equipment went unused, and were kept as spare equipment. They prepared for these thousands of years in hopes that their dark lord would return. And, in a way, he did, though it was not who it seemed...

After the fall of Barad Dûr, a cursed soul, Daechir, wandered through the Angmar mountains, aimlessly hoping to end his suffering. He stumbled upon an ancient gateway in the mountains. He entered the gateway, and saw those ancient Orcs of Morgoth. He stood in awe at them, as they did him. They believed him to be sent directly from Morgoth, to lead them to victory. They crowned him their king, and he promised them victory over the free peoples. He sent them out, and they populated Angmar. They made many more entrances to their caves, fortified the entrances, and armed and trained the Angmar Orcs and Rhudaur hillmen. From beneath its mountains, Angmar would rise again. Their new master swore Middle-earth would fall under his shadow. He secretly made alliances with those who had reasons to hate the free peoples, and offered them glorious revenge. The time approaches, when [insert name] will march forth upon the world, and bring it into darkness, where Morgoth and Sauron have failed...

Okay, what do you think? Also, what should their name be? I was thinking either something that has to do with shadows, or something that has to do with their former service to Morgoth.
