All the Orcs and Uruk-hai of the White Hand have gathered to witness the battles under the Thunderdome, as 16 of the deadliest orcs in Isengard go under the Iron Dome in a fight to the death! The Thunderdome was forged in the smithies under Orthanc and was pulled up by trolls with mechanized winches, gears & pullies. The dome was then placed amid the pits and orc-holds that now fill all the plain around the tower. There it was erected by a 100 Uruk-hai born in the birthing pits below.

Brazen horns are blown. Drums roll from beneath the pits. The raucous cries of countless orcs, echo throughout Isengard… High atop the tower of Orthanc upon his balcony, Saruman and looks down upon the plain below. Suddenly he raises his staff and a blue flash of light shoots up from the needle sharp spikes of Orthanc. The signal has been sent!

Let the Games begin!

Here is the final Round One ~ Isengard! Don’t forget, that you can lay your staff upon each of the Orc Cards below to see a larger size and help you decide which Uruk should win the fight!

The time has come to vote!

Keep watch on your favorite orcs over the course of this week to see how they are doing!… Round Two Begins next Friday!

Last but not least………….Isengard!!
Ring Lord

You gotta love those Uruk-hai!
CT

Exactly……Lurtz, Ugluk and the Uruk-hai berserkers….there’s something for everyone! LOL
Roberto Took

Ugluk for the win!
CT

I’m going with this bad boy.
Random Musings

It’s got to be hasn’t it? Lurtz v Azog final?
Grievous1138

Poor Broghásh… He has no chance against Lurtz.
CT

No, it can’t be. Presuming both make it into the final 4 [by winning their respective brackets], they will have to face each other in the semi-finals. And we all know what happens then…………https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmRAiUPdRjk
Roberto Took

Yeah, his only tactic is to go in and blow himself up, so he would lose even if he wins.
Roberto Took

that would be vicious!

Chances are great that Lurtz comes out on top of the Isengard group, but for some reason I love Ugluk since my first viewing of the Two Towers movie. Plus he is likely as well trained as Lurtz in combat, we sadly never see him in a fair fight.
CT

I like Ugluk so much I bought the statue……I’m just not sure how well he’ll do against Lurtz or one of those crazy berserkers. But I could easily see him making it into the Elite 8 where he would finally get his chance against Lurtz.
CT

It look like someone gave Broghash a sympathy vote……LOL
Grievous1138

Unless the voter thinks he can survive….
Grievous1138

I would think that the final four would be Gothmog for Mordor, Ufthak for Mirkwood (obviously), Lurtz for Isengard, and Azog for Moria. That would probably come down to Ufthak and Azog. May the best Orc win!
CT

Based on his number of 4.55%, Broghash has gotten 1 vote out of 22……..somehow, I don’t like his chances.
Grievous1138

Nor do I. He should have a flat zero. XD
CT

That’s exactly how I think this is going down………though currently Gothmog is battling for his life, only one vote up on Badzurz.
CT

He should have zero, but like I said, it looks like someone gave him a sympathy vote just for showing up……
Grievous1138

That’s a good point. But whoever the Mordor champion is, Ufthak will beat him.
Grievous1138

If only we knew who voted for him….
CT

I have no doubt Ufthak aka the Jailor of Dol Guldur is headed for the finals. And I can completely understand why Weta scrapped him as the original design for Bolg……..he makes Azog look like a pu$$y and the optics of having the two of them in the same scenes would not have worked out well for Azog.
CT

Someone with a soft spot for underdogs no doubt. LOL
Grievous1138

I daresay Azog will take Ufthak’s head, though. As a patriotic Moria Orc, I stand behind my champion.
Grievous1138

What if he actually thinks Broghásh can win? Never mind, I shudder at that thought….
CT

You can never underestimate character familiarity, so you’re probably right. But I know who I’m voting for, and it isn’t Azog……..
Grievous1138

*Draws warhammer* Why don’t we take this to the Palantir chat?
CT

It is possible….if they forgot to take their meds today………
CT

What is the Palantir chat?
Grievous1138

Click the Palantir button on the left side of your screen.
CT

I clicked on the palantir [top of webpage, left side]…….I just heard Sauron mumbling something, that’s about it?
CT

OK, I figured it out…….Sauron was saying ” This is my hour……..”. Other than that, I’m not sure what the palantir’s function is though.
Grievous1138

It’s supposed to take you to a chat thing. Whatever XD
