At the end of the First Age, the War of Wrath caused massive volcanic activity that tore apart the land, which once had been much more fertile, rendering it a wasteland.īy the end of this period, Mordor had become much like it is today, surrounded on three sides by the Ash Mountains and Mountains of Shadow, spurs from which split the land into the ash plains of Lithlad and the volcanic plateau of Gorgoroth.

The Black Land of Mordor is widely known as the home of the greatest threat to the free lands of Middle-Earth, a land long since destroyed and ruled by a power beyond the strength of any other. The power of Sauron grows by the day, and soon all of Middle-earth will fall sway to him and his servants! The faction of Mordor is indisputably evil and formidable, a black tide that threatens to sweep the Free Peoples of Middle-earth into the Sea. Based in the land of Mordorthis faction is composed of millions of foul creatures, most notably the Mordor Orcswho serve their Dark Lord alongside a number of other fell beings.

The greatest of the forces of the Shadow, the Mordor faction is the strongest power in Middle-earth, with plans to crush the Free Peoples and dominate the world. Mordor is the fearsome realm of the Dark Lord Sauronutterly subservient to his will.
