The Legend of Shagrat |Short Video|

Shagrat was the orc in charge of the garrison at Cirith Ungol. He and Gorbag another orc would fight over the Mithril shirt of Frodo Baggins who they had captured. Shagrat would survive but would be killed on orders of Sauron after delivering the shirt to him.

Short and sweet, why did Sauron kill him exactly?

[@lordsofarnor4128]

It’s not explained why he did as it was only mentioned in the readers companion to the Lord of the Rings but I imagine he was just angry and had him killed

Can you do a what if a charakter survived or died ?It would show how important he was to the Plot.

[@lordsofarnor4128]

I'm not very good at writing what if scenarios mostly because I don't like very depressing unhappy endings and that's generally how in my mind at least, most what if scenarios would end. However if there's a specific what if you'd like to see let me know and I can work it over in my mind how it could work.

[@lordsofarnor4128]

That one is very interesting and I think would be very intriguing with the power of Ulmo and the destiny he set up for Tuor against a possible curse from Morgoth. I’ll need to reread the fall of Gondolin passages and the Children of Hurin beforehand so I have a better idea of how the curse of Morgoth works. But that is a good idea I’ll make a video about that at some point
