In the Lost Tales Tolkien says he "thinks" The Orcs did what they always had done during the long absences of either Melkor or Sauron : Some formed communities where they farmed the land, and openly traded with Men and Dwarves, while most retreated back into their subterranean communities and pretty much kept to themselves until eventually like the Dwarves they faded out of memory.
Who would not be tormented by the loss of what they once were ? My question is , how did they multiply to such an extent. Excellent content and wonderful narration. Definitely earned a click and subscribe. Much appreciated.
