Orc-holds is a term used to refer to underground tunnellings of the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, found throughout the Misty Mountains and Mount Gundabad. From there they caused trouble in the nearby regions, such as Eriador, Lothlórien and the Shire.


Orkish holds included Moria and the underground Goblin-town led by the Great Goblin.[2]
