	At the battle of [[Minas Tirith]] he appears on a black horse, lifting a [[sword]] that casts a shadow of utter paralysis and fear upon defender and foe. He cries thrice in a forgotten tongue as Grond swings thrice, and the Gate of Gondor is blasted by earth-lightning. He rides in, to find the way blocked by Gandalf the White. There is a duel of words between them, and the Witch-king doffs his hood revealing a crown on empty air, mocking Gandalf as "old fool" and bidding him die, and flames run down his blade. But Gandalf is utterly unaffected. Before the two can clash the horns of Rohan sound, and the Witch-king withdraws to summon his Fell Beast.

-	In the movie the Witch-king breaks Gandalf's staff and sends him flying off his horse, [[Shadowfax]]. Many questions have been raised on how the Witch-king should not be a mere match for Gandalf the White, as he is only derived from the race of men. But no certain decision is made on how the Witch-king would fare in a battle between himself and [[Gandalf]], especially as he is filled at that moment with all Sauron's power from afar. The fight could not be determined between them, as the sound of Rohan horns gave the Witch-king a new threat to consider; this forces him to fly away from [[Minas Tirith]], to the [[Pelennor Fields]], where he would soon meet his end.	+	In the movie the Witch-king breaks Gandalf's staff and sends him flying off his horse, [[Shadowfax]].

	In [[The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy\|''The Lord of the Rings'' movie trilogy]] by [[Peter Jackson]], Saruman appeared to be the only one who created the Uruks. However, the book, ''Lord of the Rings: [[Weapons]] and Warfare'', cleared up this discrepancy by explaining that he is in fact only replicating the method that had already been used by Sauron. Sauron's Uruks, seen in [[The Return of the King]] have noticeably rougher features than Sauruman's. They are shown in the movie as being released from a kind of membrane in the mud deep under Isengard (special commentary on the DVD edition explained that they were trying to base the scene on a early description of Tolkien's that Orcs "worm their way out of the ground like maggots"). In the movies Uruk-hai are described as a crossbreed between Orcs and "goblin-men": this is probably a dialogue error because in Tolkien's works "[[Orc]]" is a synonym for goblin. These Uruks are sent after the Fellowship, and their leader is [[Lurtz]], a movie-only character.

-	His Uruks include Pikemen, Uruk-Hai swordsmen, Warg riders, crossbowmen, sappers, scouts and Berserkers. The Berserkers are even larger and more vicious Uruks. They shave their heads and fill their helmets with human blood, so that when they put on the helmets the blood runs down their backs and its scent sends them into a killing frenzy. They carry doubly-bent [[sword]]s. These swords were feared by their Rohirrim enemies for good reason. First, they had double spikes on the end (used for hamstringing or deboweling horses). Second, the tremendous strength of the Beserkers could easily take the head off of any human. Last, they had a keen cutting edge that was more than enough to the task of cutting through the leather armor of the Rohirrim. The sappers were responsible for crewing the ballistae, handling the ladders and carrying Saruman's bombs. Pikemen, as the name suggests, carry [[Pike (weapon)\|pikes]]. Crossbowmen carry [[crossbow]]s. Normal Uruk infantry wield a sword. These swords maximize the brute strength of the Uruks, being able to cut limbs and heads like a hot knife on butter. The upward-pointing spike on the end was an ingenious addition by Saruman, a learned scholar skilled in the arts of warfare. Knowing that he would be facing the legendary Rohirrim cavalry (and possibly the one of the Gondorians, had he crushed Rohan), the additional spike could pull a rider from his horse with minimal effort and either kill or disable his mount. It also served as a terror weapon, sending many shivers down the spine of even experienced soldiers. They also sometimes use bladed [[shield]]s with the white hand painted on them , as seen in [[Amon Hen]] during [[Aragorn]]'s fight against [[Lurtz]]. Scouts wear light, leather armor and have leather helmets with no crests or brimm's, and wield short swords, axes, daggers and powerfull bows of yew with a tremendous draw weight. Their armour is grey and is made up of large lames and has a groin guard. Underneath is a layer of chainmail that covers the torso, half the arm and a small fraction of the legs. They also wear arm armour but they have bare legs. For footwear they have puttees and sandals that are covered by foot and leg armour. The helmets vary. Heavy uruk helms are metal caps with an eye slit, horizontal crests and two smaller crests at either side of the mouth. Crossbow and engineer helms are a simple metal cap that covers the top half of the head (just the eyes on the face) and have huge brimms at the bottom. Berserker helms have two circular eyeholes and an empty space for the mouth. They have no crests or brimms. Commander helms are basically berserker helms with massive crests. Almost all the helms have the white painted on them.	+	His Uruks include pikemen, swordsmen, crossbowmen, sappers, scouts and berserkers. The berserkers are even larger and more vicious Uruks.

It also served as a terror weapon, sending many shivers down the spine of even experienced soldiers. Given that Saruman wished to make a great army of destructive soldiers quickly, he devoted more time to arming and brithing his uruks than he did training them. Given the quickened births of his second batch of uruk-hai warriors, they were unable to be trained in many tactics of war. Most of their weapons show this, requiring little thought to be used. The sword would hack an enemy with the straight side in one direction then stab the enemy with the jutting bladed part on the other side, repeated until the uruk either died or ran out of things to kill. They also sometimes use bladed [[shield]]s with the white hand painted on them, as seen in [[Amon Hen]] during [[Aragorn]]'s fight against [[Lurtz]]. These were broad shields, made of durable iron that could defend well against incoming attacks and would provide an alternative weapon by using the bladed side, should the uruk lose his other weapon. Scouts wear light, leather armor and have leather helmets with no crests or brimm's, and wield short swords, axes, daggers and powerfull bows of yew with a tremendous draw weight.

Berserker helms have two circular eyeholes and an empty space for the mouth. They have no crests or brimms. Commander helms are basically berserker helms with massive crests. Almost all the helms have the white hand of Saruman painted on them. Despite the strong iron used in most of an Isengard uruk-hai's armour, it provided little protection at joints, so as to not constrict movement, or at the back, as Saruman was to use them for attack purposes and would not expect any form of flanking attack.<br />
		+	Mordor uruk-hai differ greatly from their Isengard kin. While the uruk-hai of Isengard were well armed, using hardened iron armour and shields and wielding finely crafted, yet simple weaponry, Mordor's uruk-hai wore scraps of black leather armour with hoods along with chainmail and would use any sort of weapon they came across. Also, while most of the uruk-hai of Saruman were rushed in their birthings, needing to amass an army quickly, Sauron's uruk-hai were not, having no need to create an army of uruk-hai quickly when he had innumerable garrisons of orcs, trolls, evil men and all manner of other maleficent beings under his command that could be sent forth at any time he wished, and so were able to be bred fully, becoming stronger and smarter than most of their Isengard brethren. However, the harsh climate of Mordor also left them more susceptable to mutation than the Isengard breed.

-	Lurtz was the first of Saruman's to be bred, He was Saruman's second-in-command and led them into battle against the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] at [[Amon Hen]]. Lurtz also appeared to be the Smartest,Fastest, and Strongest of the Uruk-hai. In the book, [[Boromir]] is slain by an unnamed orc or orcs; he is described as having been "pierced by many arrows". In the movie he is killed by Lurtz, who shoots him three times. [[Aragorn]] then intervenes, and after a brief intense fight stabs Lurtz and then removes his head, leaving his body standing for a few seconds before toppling over. In the book [[Uglúk]] was the leader of the orc-band from the beginning.	+	Lurtz was the first of Saruman's uruks to be bred, choking the first orc birther he sees to death within seconds of his birthing. Attempting to intervene, other orcs move towards the newly born uruk-hai warrior but Saruman haults their advance, intrigued by the malice and violence present in the uruk's blood, leaving the unfortunate orc to its fate. He became Saruman's second-in-command and led them into battle against the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] at [[Amon Hen]]. Lurtz was born from the first batch of uruk-hai born in Isengard's pits and so, was much smarter and stronger than the later breeds which were bred more quickly, presumably so Saruman could amass an army more quickly, and were unable to develop as much. Given that he gave orders to the other uruks at the Amon Hen and given that he was given private audience with Saruman, he could presumably be called the strongest, smartest and most loyal of all of Saruman's uruk-hai warriors. In the original books, [[Boromir]] is slain by orc archers, described as having been "pierced by many arrows". In the movie he is killed by Lurtz, who shoots him three times in the chest. [[Aragorn]] intervenes, tackling Lurtz to the ground before he could fire the finishing shot at the Gondorian captain and after a brief intense fight, cuts off Lurtz's right arm and stabs him in the stomach before decapitating the uruk leader. In the book [[Uglúk]] was the leader of the orc-band from the beginning, with no mention of Lurtz at all.

	The name "Lurtz" may have been derived by Jackson and his co-writers from the style of Tolkien's Orkish language, specifically the name ''Lugburz'', but it also sounds similar to Lurch from ''The Addams Family''.

	After [[Gandalf]] usurped Gríma's control of Théoden and released the King, "many things which men had missed" were found locked in his trunk, including [[Herugrim]], the blade of [[Theoden]]. With his betrayal revealed, Theoden almost killed him using Herugrim, but was stopped by [[Aragorn]], who said that enough blood has been spilled on Gríma's account. Then Gríma was given a choice: ride into battle or into exile. Choosing the latter, he went to dwell with Saruman at [[Orthanc]]. There, Gríma gave Saruman important information about Theoden's tactics to leave Edoras with his people suspecting that would have be an attack, and that they would flee to [[Helm's Deep]], the main fortress of Rohan, where the [[Battle of the Hornburg]] would be fought.

	In the years of the [[War of the Ring]], the fierce warriors of Harad came north to Gondor at the call of [[Sauron]], and with their legions they brought the great mûmak, which they used as beasts of war. The mûmak were harnessed with the gear of war: red banners, bands and trappings of gold and brass, and on their backs great war towers from which archers and spearmen fought. They had a natural bloodlust, and many foes were crushed beneath their feet. With their trunks they struck down many foes and their tusks were red with the blood of enemies. They could not be fought effectively by mounted men, for horses refused to go near them, nor by footmen who were quickly crushed or shot from above. In war they would frequently stand as towers that could not be captured; shield walls broke before them and armies were routed.

	The defenders led by Éomer and Gimli retreated into the Glittering Caves while Aragorn and Legolas led a retreat into the keep. Aragorn called for a parley and told the orcs that they would die if they didn't surrender, but the Uruk-hai laughed at his threat and attempted to shoot him down, almost killing Aragorn. The orcs then made it to the gate and destroyed the arch with Saruman's 'blasting-fire'. Suddenly, Théoden and Aragorn led a vicious cavalry charge out of the keep, driving the Uruks away from the remains of the gate.

	Just then, Gandalf on his horse [[Shadowfax]] arrived with Erkenbrand and a thousand swordsmen on foot, and they charged the orcs. As the Uruks were driven out of the valley, they realized the entrance to the valley was blocked by an army of [[Huorn]]s. After the orcs and Uruks were driven into the Huorns, the Dunlendings surrendered and were spared, but were forced to take an oath never to attack Rohan again.

	After that, the enemy started building large catapults, a task which no engines in Minas-Tirith managed to hinder. While no missile from a catapult could have damaged the wall, built with Numenorian stonecraft and as strong as the walls of [[Orthanc]], the catapults were powerful enough to throw incendiary missiles over the walls, setting part of the city afire. After that, they launched a salvo of the heads of those slain by them in the previous battle, to demoralize the enemy.

	In his despair, Denethor refused to lead the people, resulting in Gandalf commanding the defenders. Thousands of orcs and maybe hundreds of Men of Gondor were killed during a prolonged shoot out. Mighty siege towers rolled onwards to the walls, but those were mainly a distraction and a test of Gondor's strength. The main assault was launched against the Gate - the only vulnerable point in the wall. A giant battering ram named [[Grond]], in honor of Morgoth's hammer, was used. It was a hundred feet in length. The Gate was strong enough to withstand several hits from the ram, but with the Witch-king of Angmar adding his sorcery to the power of the strike, it was eventually broken. The Nazgul leader entered the city, with all fleeing before him, save Gandalf upon the Shadowfax. At this exact moment, the horn of the Rohirrim sounded, making him leave to join the battle against them. Still, the assault of his forces continued.

	Unknown to both Gondor and Mordor, the [[Drúedain]] showed Rohan an old forgotten road built by the Dunedain long ago, and forgotten by all save the Wild Men. This allowed the Rohirrim to circumvent the defenses on the northern road, and attack the enemy from the rear. Due to the enemy dismantling the walls of Pelennor, they could not mount a strong defense quickly, and Rohan forces quickly overran the northern half of Pelennor. However, after forcing the retreat of the Haradrim cavalry, they were halted by the appearance of the Witch King. He mortally wounded Theoden the King, before being slain himself by Eowyn and Meriadoc.

Rhûn was, especially during the [[Second Age]], a land where trade was a main part of their culture. - Especially around the northern regions around the Sea of Rhûn, where wine and tobacco were produced and traded throughout Middle-Earth.
		+
		+	== Geography ==
		+	Rhun is a diverse land that borders many known and unknown lands and dominions, the most of any in [[Middle-earth]]. To the northwest are the Dwarvish realms of the [[Iron Hills]] and [[Erebor]], the Mannish kingdoms of [[Dale]], [[Esgaroth]] upon the Long Lake, and [[Dorwinion]] on the Sea of Rhun. Further northwest was [[Thranduil\|Thranduil's]] dominion of eastern [[Mirkwood]]. To the far west were the [[Brown Lands]], the [[Emyn Muil]], [[Rauros]], the Wold, and [[Anduin]], the Great River itself.
		+
		+	To the southwest was [[Dagorlad]], the [[Morannon]], and of course, the volcanic plateaus and jagged mountain ridges of [[Mordor]] itself. Even further south of that were Rhun's allies in the plains of [[Khand]] and the searing deserts of the [[Harad]].
		+
		+	To the east, somewhere out there, were the [[Orocarni]]. What lies in the uttermost east no one knows or comprehends, save the people of Rhun itself. This great land remains the last, puzzling enigma of [[Middle-earth]], the great question mark of the [[Fourth Age]].
		+
		+	Rhun, we can assume from all of the maps made of [[Middle-earth]], was mainly a colossal, semiarid grassland plain (much like Mongolia). The only maps of it (again, on the very fringes of the Lord of the Rings maps are wide, flat, and uniquely featureless.
		+
		+	Aside from the plains, we can also assume that the [[Orocarni]] lay not too far away from Rhun's grasslands. The red color comes from millions of years of sedimentation and subsequent tectonic upheaval, denoting that they were most likely underwater. Being underwater would create a vast hoard of minerals and metals, accounting for the magnificent golden armor of the [[Easterlings]].
		+
		+	These mountains were extremely rich in every kind of resource, bursting to the seams with minerals that were key for any war effort. In Karen Wynn Fonstad's ''[[The Atlas of Middle-earth\|Atlas of Middle-earth]], ''the western flank of the [[Orocarni]] closely situated adjacent to [[Cuiviénen\|Cuivenen]] was a heavily-forested region, presumably supplying the Easterlings with gargantuan reserves of timber for use in buildings, siege equipment, towers, fortresses, towns, cities, and homes.
		+
		+	The army of Easterlings marching into the [[Black Gate]] of [[Mordor]] was noticeably different from almost every other army in [[Middle-earth]]. While the cavalrymen of [[Rohan]] were decked in primitive Dark Age-era chainmail and Norse helmets, and the Orcish allies of the Easterlings wore pitiful little scraps of armor salvaged from dead foes, every soldier of Rhun was sumptiously clad in highly-protective and lustrous plate armor. Their next-best match were the forces of [[Gondor]], an ancient kingdom attempting to recreate its noble Numenorean heritage harking back to the days of [[Isildur]] and [[Elendil]]. Even the soldiers of Gondor were garbed with merely standard, dull, and uniform plate armor.
		+
		+	The sheer task of arming and equipping the Easterling expeditionary force sent to do battle against the [[Free Peoples of Middle-earth]] was a colossal undertaking, and it is a testament to the aptitude and skill of the Easterling smiths that kept their forces on the forefront of battle, the grenadiers of their day.
		+
		+	Most of the great, yet unknown, Easterling cities would most likely be located on the flanks of the [[Orocarni]] or by another significant geographical feature. These were presumably grand and magnificent beyond imagination, a rival to even the glory days of Numenor. However, the people of Rhun would also have to contend with the great cities of the remaining four of the seven [[Dwarf]] clans, the ones that refused to trek westwards. These cities might have resembled the great fortresses of [[Nogrod]] and [[Belegost]], situated deep within the vales of the [[Blue Mountains]] during the [[First Age]]. If this was so, the other great cities of the remaining clans would most likely be delved into the rock of the Red Mountains.
