Ivorwen, I doubt Saruman would have made a ring for no other reason than to look fashionable. I agree with Thingol here completely. The ring was used to give him power to control his army, just as Saurons was.

Gryphon Hall, Sarumans orcs couldn't withstand the light because of Sarumans ring. They were bred with men so that they were really half orc and half man. That is why they were greater in size than Saurons orcs (Orcs are naturally shorter than men) and were able to withstand sunlight, even though they didn't like it.

I think you guys should read previous posts more closely. Thingol explained things very well early in the thread, but there were still some posts later on that showed signs of confusion and misinterpretation. That's just a little advice.
