A statue of a running orc.

leaving your territory to tell the real orcs that are coming, don't bother.

That is indeed familiar.

Now, we learned that the most important of these watchstones were placed near the crossings of Tegla.

Now, that is where Turin slew Glaurung.

These sculptures were actually larger than life, Druidine, squatting on sculpted dead orcs.

Now, this wasn't just to insult the orcs, although it absolutely did that.

Bonus, I suppose.

But they actually functioned like scarecrows, right, to scare the orcs.

And if I happen to go past him and I see a monstrous creature squatting on the body of a dead person, I'm definitely going to turn around and run.

The Oghor High.

And of course, high, for those of you who are trying to word nerd your way through this, that just means people.

So like the Uruk High, the Olag High, which is the orc's name for the trolls, and then the Oghor High, which is their name for the druidine.

No, the orcs steered clear, right?

They didn't even dare to touch these watchstones or try to destroy them.

And thus the watchstones served their purpose.

I can't sit still for five minutes, man.

Same here.

I can be quiet for hours.

I know that stuns everybody listening.
