The race of Uruks actually is believed to have first appeared in Mordor. This raises an interesting point, since it means that all or almost all of the orcs at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in the movies must have been Uruks, since they fought in broad daylight, as regular orcs are not at all wont to do. In the books this was explained by the darkening of the sky, but the movie only briefly and inconclusively touched upon the darkening, and for all intents and purposes it was still very much daylight out at the Battle.<p>[ 3:02 PM January 12, 2004: Message edited by: Lord of Angmar ]
