The Revolt of Cirith Ungol was an uprise that took place on March 14, T.A. 3019. It was a skirmish that broke out between Mordor Orcs from The Ungol-Tower and Orcs from Minas Morgul.The cause for the initial eruption of violence had been a personal brawl between the Captains Shagrat and Gorbag, fighting over a Mithril Vest that belonged to the hobbit Frodo Baggins.The evil influence and non-channeled corrupting of the One Ring may have contributed to the headless mayhem.
