[QUOTE="ruleslawyer, post: 1281889, member: 1757"] Actually, the only relevant text I could find in TTT is the following: [i]"I saw endless lines of marching Orcs, and troops of them mounted on great wolves. And there were battalions of Men, too.... Most of them were ordinary men, rather tall and dark-haired, and grim but not evil-looking. But there were some others that were horrible: Man-high, but with goblin-faces, sallow, leering, squint-eyed."[/i] The quote regarding "half-orcs and goblin-men," incidentally, is from the Scouring of the Shire (RotK, Ch8), as it turns out. Well, uruk-hai are mentioned in RotK when the hobbits are in Mordor, which implies that not all of them are Isengarders. Moreover, JRRT himself does write in Appendix F to the trilogy (usually found at the back of RotK) that [i]uruk-hai[/i] refers to "the great soldier-orcs that issued from [i]Mordor and[/i] Isengard."
