The Orcrist system has two stars, the primary Thorin and its companion, Thranduil.

• The world of Orcrist is the sole moon of the gas giant Dvergur, the only planet of the system.
• Orcrist is tidally locked with Dvergur and orbits at a distance of 0.32 AU.
• The moon spins once per orbit around Dvergur (41 hours, 31 minutes), and so Thorin appears to circle Orcrist in that period, as well.
