The orcs of the misty mountains are called goblins. I think Tolkien used the terms interchangeably.

Shmorks, moblins, different but same - everybody’s saying it

Yup orcs. Still funny.

Going off of memory, in The Hobbit Gandalf talks about Glamdring amd Orchrist, two swords they get from the trolls, and describes them as “forged in Gondolin during the goblin wars”. Sting came from the same troll horde and it’s assumed that it was a dagger made for an elvish prince.
