There is always a smoke rising from Isengard these days. Some of the trees they just cut down and leave to rot - orc-mischief that but most are hewn up and carried off to feed the fires of Orthanc. ĭown on the borders, they are felling trees - good trees. It is a mark of evil things that came in the Great Darkness that they cannot abide the Sun but Saruman's Orcs can endure it, even if they hate it. For these Isengarders are more like wicked Men.
