| Boromir: "Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing!" - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring II:10 |
The Asharag (Orc. "One swift stroke") were a tribe of Northerner-Orcs, inhabiting the ranges of the Ered Mithrin. Though formally independent, they were allies of Angmar, and protected the northern caravan routes and the passes of Cirith Auris and Cirith Feadin from their main fortress of Surgax Ukog.
