Goblin-town was a Goblin (or Orc) dwelling which lay under the Misty Mountains, ruled by the Great Goblin.
Goblin-town was a series of tunnels and caverns, which went all the way through the mountains, with a 'back door' (the Goblin-gate) near the Eagle's Eyrie in Wilderland, which served as a means of escape, and an access to the Wilderland.[1]A cave with a lake was deep beneath Goblin-town yet was connected to the Goblins' tunnels, with one passage leading to the 'back door'.[2]
[edit]History
![Map Map](/uploads/1/2/4/8/124833328/464042589.jpg)
Long before the coming of the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, mysterious creatures were living in the caves.[2] Around T.A.2480 the Orcs of the Misty Mountains started making secret strongholds in the mountains blocking the passages towards Eriador[3] and expanded those caves, digging tunnels to connect them; without their knowledge they drove those slimy creatures into dark corners. One of those 'original owners' was Gollum, who was living in a nearby underground lake, feeding himself on raw fish and Goblins that he killed.[2]
The main gate of the town was in one of the passes of the Misty Mountains, but by T.A.2941[3] travellers learned to avoid that dangerous road and the goblins opened another under the safer High Pass (the Front Porch).[1]
During the journey to Lonely Mountain, Thorin and Company rested in a cave and were captured by the Goblins. They were brought before the Great Goblin, who accused them of spying, and was enraged when he found that Thorin was carrying Orcrist, a sword the Great Goblin remembered from Gondolin. With the help of Gandalf, the Great Goblin was slain and Bilbo and the Dwarves escaped, pursued by force of Goblins.[4]
