: Why would orcs live in the northwest?
: It was the part of the lands of their first birth, the lands where they first walked beneath the stars. It was the lands were their ancient enemies, the elves, still dwelt. The is no mention, I can recall, of elves ever migrating farther eastward than Mirkwood. I doubt orcs went further eastward than Mordor. ~AelmerElves migrated in the beginning to east.
Some of the Teleri remained in the east.
So there were elves in the east.
The first orcs were also bred in the east, in Utumno.
When morgoth was then defeated some of the orcs survived.
So there were orcs in the east also
