| Gorgol, son of Bolg |

![]() |
Bolg, son of Azog, ruled the Orcs of the Mountains from his capital of Gundabad for many years, until Beorn slew him at the Battle of Five Armies. Now, many warlords contend for Bolg’s throne, and there is civil war and treachery beneath the ground. One likely heir is Bolg’s eldest son, Gorgol. He fought in the battle, but fled when Beorn charged. Gorgol and his followers were driven east by the Eagles, and forced to retreat into the Withered Heath. It took him six years to return home to Gundabad, and by then he had few remaining followers and could not force his claim to his father’s throne.
Gorgol is a young Great Orc, dreadfully strong but not yet grown to full size and power. What he lacks in might he makes up in cunning.
