orcs after baradur

[The Saucepan Man]

However, there is also a good possibility that the Haradrim, Easterlings, or any other such "bad guy group" in Middle Earth could have either dominated the orcs or worked with them.

I always saw the Haradrim and co as seeing the error of their ways after the fall of Sauron, much as the Dunlendings did after Helms Deep. This impression is reinforced by Sam's musings on the dead man that he sees when Faramir's forces ambush the Haradrim column on its way to Mordor.

I doubt that the orcs were so lucky , though. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Isn't there some reference to the Orcs losing all sense of purpose and eventually being hunted down after Sauron's fall? I imagined it as much like ants when the queen of their nest is destroyed.
