Why were there Orcs buried under Isengard?
Saruman’s Uruk-hai are shown as being released from a kind of membrane in the mud deep under Isengard (special commentary on the DVD edition explained that they were trying to base the scene on an early description of Tolkien’s that Orcs “worm their way out of the ground like maggots”).
How was Isengard made?
For most of its history the lands of Isengard were green and a river ran from the mountains to form a lake. However after the treason of Saruman all green things that grew were removed and the river was dammed. The inner-ring was riddled with houses which cut into the walls.
What did Isengard look like?
For most of its history, Isengard was a green and pleasant place, with many fruiting trees. Orthanc was built towards the end of the Second Age by men of Gondor from four many-sided columns of rock joined together by an unknown process and then hardened. No known weapon could harm it.
Why does Saruman rip the trees down?
The procedure was proven to be difficult, in which Gazmog informed to Saruman that the trees were very strong since their roots dig deeper in the soil. Saruman ignored this and ordered him to continue ripping down the trees in order to build armor, swords, and shields for the Uruk-hai.
Are Orcs dead elves?
No. Orcs are neither dead nor undead. In the animal sense of the term, they are alive in their bodies. Tolkien tells us that Morgoth, incapable of creation, could make evil creatures by distorting and debasing good ones.
What is Isengard made of?
Isengard was comprised of a black, circular, stone-wall surrounding a broad plain, in the center of which was the Tower of Orthanc. Isengard had only one gate, which faced south. The river Angren (or Isen) began at Methedras behind Isengard, which also formed its northern wall.

How does Pippin trick Treebeard into entering the fight against Isengard?
They cannot fight this war on their own. So, Pippin takes advantage of Treebeard’s ‘unhasty’ nature by ‘tricking’ him into taking them South (since that’s the direction the hobbits want to go).
What is the difference between a cave and a cavern?

What is the name of the longest cave in the world?
“‘Cavern’ seems to be preferred by show cave operators, maybe because it makes their cave seem more impressive. Thus, we have ‘Luray Caverns’ and ‘Endless Caverns’ in Virginia. But the longest cave in the world is just called ‘Mammoth Cave.’ Stalagmites and stalactites adorn Luray Cavern in Virginia.
What is the difference between eolian and sea caves?
Sea caves are formed by the motion of seawater and waves. Some sea caves may be dry during low tide, while others are always underwater. Eolian caves, on the other hand, form in desert locales. Blasted by grit carried on high-speed winds, rock faces give way to voids that scar the landscape.
