Nonetheless the Alliance came forth, and early in SA they came to the great rocky plain before the Black Gates of Mordor, which was afterwards named Dagorlad, the Battle Plain. There they fought long and hard before the Black Gates against the vast armies of Sauron. The Battle of Dagorlad lasted many months, and the fighting was hard and bloody. Though the near-destruction of the Silvan army was a blow to the Last Alliance, they eventually began to prevail against the armies of Mordor.

Elendil and Gil-Galad, also, were great warriors worth many of each race. Aeglos, the spear of Gil-Galad, and Narsil, the Sword of Elendil, could not be withstood, and so after months of fighting the Alliance finally broke through the Black Gates and forced the armies of Mordor to retreat. There they came even to the Iron Bridge of the Dark Tower itself, and the armies of Sauron fought them before it. The defeat in the Battle of Dagorlad had greatly weakened the forces of Sauron, and few now remained of the Men that had fought there.

The siege was long and terrible, and both sides are to this day loathe to speak of it, for the dead were innumerable. The Orcs, meanwhile, rained arrows down upon them, and had a seemingly endless supply of ammunition of all sorts.

To that end he gathered nearly all of the forces left to him into a great army, and personally led a sortie the size of which had not before been unleashed. The leaguer was broken, and the Last Alliance was forced into a retreat with heavy loss, and prepared for a desperate battle on the slopes of Mount Doom. As the vast armies clashed on the plain of Gorgoroth thousands were slain. Sauron himself fought against his enemies, and could not be defeated, for he was strong and fell, and the power of the One Ring compounded his own.

He led many assaults in which his enemies were scattered completely, and in one such instance he forced Gil-Galad and Elendil themselves up the slopes of Orodruin. He killed Gil-Galad, High King of the Noldor, by the heat of his hand alone, and he also struck Elendil dead, shattering Narsil in the process.

When the One was taken, Sauron was destroyed. The forces of Mordor wavered and broke, and the Last Alliance scattered them; so the realm of Mordor was destroyed. With the end of the War of the Last Alliance, Mordor was no more.

The Orcs that had lived in Mordor were dead or scattered. For though the Orcs were scattered, they were not completely destroyed, and sizeable bands hid in the mountains, far from the watchful eyes of the Gondorians. Two hundred years after the fall of Sauron, the rulers of Gondor became determined to keep watch on Mordor to prevent it rising again.

At the eastern end of the deadly Pass of Cirith Ungol they built a great tower-fortress, designed both to keep the monster of the pass at bay and to keep those Orcs that remained in Mordor away from newly-reclaimed Minas Ithil.

At first these fortresses were manned with large guards, and their vigilance was unending, though their watch would soon wane.

Durthang was considered the chief of them, though generally all were considered part of the fiefdom of Ithilien, and therefore were under Minas Ithil. Minas Ithil was recaptured quickly by Gondor after the conclusion of the war, and quickly rebuilt to be even greater than its former self, though its influence in Gondor waned in comparison to its mightier sister-city.

Nonetheless Minas Ithil prospered and was beautiful, while the watch on Mordor was ever-vigilant. Yet despite the vigilance of Gondor, the Orcs of Mordor slowly began to regroup in secret, beyond the scope of their watch. In the mountain-spurs they built the fortresses of Mornost and Seregost, where they began to gather once more. By TA , Gondor had been greatly weakened by war, and with the onset of the Great Plague it was short of men. The watch-fortresses at Cirith Ungol, Cirith Gorgor, and Durthang were all abandoned, and the Men that garrisoned them were sent to more important companies, for between Orc attacks and the shortage of troops the watch on Mordor seemed hardly worth it.

So Mordor was left unguarded even as the Orcs began to multiply and return to it. Though the Kings of Gondor paid it no heed and deemed Mordor forever destroyed, it was not so. Mordor was soon to return. Led by their Black Captain, the Witch-King of Angmar, they gathered armies of Orcs to themselves and occupied the abandoned fortresses of Gondor.

In secret they refounded the realm of Mordor, and the Orcs of Seregost and Mornost joined them. For twenty years they gathered their armies beyond the knowledge of Gondor, and Gorgoroth was made an evil place once more. Then, in TA , they made their first move.

The Nine and a great army of Orcs executed a surprise attack on Minas Ithil, and besieged it. The Siege of Minas Ithil lasted for two years, and though the Men of Gondor fought valiantly they could do little against the wielders of the Nine Rings.

The forces of Mordor took Minas Ithil, and the last inhabitants of the City of the Moon were massacred. Once more, the forces of Mordor had control over Minas Ithil, but this time they did more than occupy it. Minas Morgul fast became a loathsome place. Its walls were coated with Gulduril, so that they glowed with a sickly green corpse-light. These Orcs were many, and they eventually came to number in the tens of thousands, and they were better-equipped than the Orcs of Mordor.

The Morgul Orcs fought under their own banner, that of the Dead Moon, and even when the Dark Lord returned they were an army apart, the first and deadliest fighting force of the Black Land, save that of the Dark Tower itself. This they took, and for a time used; but not even the Witch-King could bend it to his will, or break it from its connection to the other Stones of Gondor. Remembering how he had humiliated the King proud king, the Morgul-Lord challenged him to single combat, and bade him ride to Minas Morgul.

He never returned. For the years of the Watchful Peace Mordor stood silent, and waited. At length, they even managed to take East Osgiliath. Osgiliath was largely empty and ruined, but the attacks of the Black Uruks finished the job, and drove the last civilians of Gondor out of the city.

The Rammas Echor was built around the Pelennor Fields as a result of this, as a defense in the event of an attack from Osgiliath. But the Black Uruks failed to hold the ruined city. The battle was long and hard, for the Black Uruks were fell and strong, but slowly Boromir began to push them back. At last he was on the verge of victory, and the Black Uruks prepared a retreat; but as they did a company of warriors from Minas Morgul arrived, armed with Morgul Blades.

As Boromir forced the enemy into retreat, he received a Morgul-wound, which crippled him and cut his life short. But it was not so. For the next year he returned at last, secretly, to Mordor, and wrought himself a new form. In TA , after nearly three thousand years, he declared himself the Dark Lord of Mordor once more, and openly refounded his dreaded realm. The Shadow of Mordor lengthened over all of Middle-Earth. Between them Sauron built the fortress of Carach Angren as an additional defensive measure.

Nurn was enslaved again, and the prison-fortress of Thorband was built to watch over it. Sauron took up his dark throne once more, and began his final preparations for the War of the Ring.

Even now, the legions of the Great Eye arm themselves, and preparing to raze the kingdoms of all who oppose them. The iron might of Mordor grows every day, and each night new and terrible weapons are forged. Soon, the Shadow of Mordor will loom over all the known lands.

The world of Men will be utterly destroyed, and all who walk the earth hereafter will do so in chains. The armies of Mordor are divided into five subfactions, which share territory and alignment but have different mobs, banners, and shields. These subfactions are as follows. The spawn of Mordor plague a wide swath of Middle-earth. Most notably, they inhabit the biomes of Mordor itself, where they can be found at all hours.

Mordor, as the chief evil faction in Middle-earth, is mortal enemies with all good factions. Naturally, its leaders encourage war crimes, which is to say the killing of enemy civilians. Mordor's area of influence is quite large. The armies of Mordor invade many locations, spreading death wherever they go. Mordor's population is almost exclusively military, but a few types of traders inhabit the wastes of Mordor, as well.

The following items are acquired naturally, but are associated with Mordor due to being found only or primarily in the Mordor biome.
