It is a land surrounded by three mountain ranges, guarding an unspeakable evil within. While it would not become the dwelling of the dark lord until the Second Age, it’s origin lies in a darkness long before.

Even if I already know like 90% of most of the things you say in your videos, it’s always so nice to just see it compressed with sentences and pictures in the backround. You really make history books become real, thankyou

@kalinpetkov2916 Год назад

Volcanic ash rendering the southern parts of Mordor fertile is a really nice, realistic detail that I appreciate very much. It shows in a very subtle way that the best efforts of the dark forces to destroy and corrupt have, in fact, turned into something that invigorates life. Conversely, the Elves' best efforts to preserve and sustain (the great rings of power) ultimately turned into a method of domination and corruption. Nothing is permanent and trying to keep it that way will only come to slap you in the face later on, that kinda thing? To me it gives a whole new meaning to the words in the Silmarillion, "For he that attempteth this (changing the foundational music of the world) shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined."

@johndododoe1411 8 месяцев назад

The elves didn't create the rings for their own good purposes, but were hoodwinked by a nice guy called "The Lord of Gifts" . Once they suspected his treachery, they created 3 beautiful secret rings without him, as he snuck away to make a boring secret ring of evil, then came back to steal the other 19 (getting only the 16 he already corrupted) .

The International Astronomical Union names all mountains on Saturn's moon Titan after mountains in J.R.R. Tolkien's work. In 2012, they named a Titanian mountain "Doom Mons" after Mount Doom. In the real world, the Italian volcano Stromboli was the inspiration for Mount Doom. The Swedish death metal band Amon Amarth is named after the Sindarin translation for Mount Doom.

As cheesy as it may sound, I always believed that after Sauron’s demise, all or most of Mordor, due to the now-ended constant volcanic activity of the land and the dispelling of the evil presence that possibly polluted the land, would eventually become a vast land of lush green and so many flowers, something utterly beautiful and breathtaking despite its fell past. Scientifically, anyway, it could be possible.

@michaelblower7363 Год назад

I guess so. Is Volcanic earth meant to be very fertile?

You forgot to mention that Mordor was once underwater, as its location is towards the Northern end of where the Inland Sea of Helcar once lay. Indeed, I think the Sea of Rhun might be all that is left of that once vast body of water.

@michelhv Год назад

This. And also there was located Cuiviénen, whence the Elves first awoke.

@rogueascendant6611 Год назад

So Mount Doom is once an underwater volcano during the First Age huh. Looking at some map from that era. I can see that Mordor or a portion of it would be underwater. After the War of Wrath, the world was reshaped with some areas from geological perspective dramatically shifted in a single day. The once great inland sea of Helcar was reduced to a large open plain with the Sea of Nurn and Rhun being the remnant of it.

@gehrigstory6674 Год назад

@@rogueascendant6611 Not just Mount Doom, but The Ash Mountains (Mordor's Northern Border), that now separate these two seas (And any rivers that flow into them) from each other.

@ZiggyMandarr Год назад

I always envisioned that Mordor was a basin, which is why it has three near perfectly shaped mountain ranges around it. It's very, very low as a result of it once being Helcar. The War of Wrath caused it to drain out eastward, and in time (or through unnatural means) the mountains that formed the rim were raised up even higher.

@justinterrell7020 Год назад

I read that recently too, but that makes the fact that the land and the mountain were claimed by Morgoth in the First Age really disjointed. Also after Morgoth’s defeat at Thangorodrim, Sauron fled towards Mordor; would it have still been underwater at this point? If it was, how would he have known to flee to a land to reside that wasn’t there yet? The only thing I can think of that makes it both make sense is that Mordor wasn’t fully underwater, but the Sea of Helcar stretched from Cuivienen to the eastern fringes of Mordor’s lands, enough for Mount Doom to essentially be across from Cuivenen.

@danemiller4852 Год назад

@rockyjforay Год назад

I can’t help but to wonder that J. R. R. Tolkien suffered from arachnophobia when he created these giant spiders, Shelob and Ungoliant as villains in Arda. I read somewhere that Tolkien was once stung by a tarantula as a child, but that memory faded, and he even saved spiders in his bathtub. But his children did not like spiders, and his son Michael particularly hated them, and in so using them in The Hobbit, the use of spiders helped to frighten him.

@badshard09 Год назад

So the creation shown in "Rings of Power" isn't true to Tolkien's vision.

@Solarnova Год назад

Nah. Amazon's works are merely inspired by JRR Tolkien's writings, and that's it. 3000+ years of the Second Age of Middle Earth compressed into 5 years was one of the first things Amazon announced, so we've known for a while it would not be a part of lore or any form of canon. Keep in mind that Jackson's movies aren't canon either, only inspired works of JRR Tolkien's original writings.

I have a personal and completely unverified theory that most of Mordor is mountains and desert, like Nevada. Bilbo and Frodo know enough about its bordering mountain ranges to draw the map we see from the books they wrote (in universe) but the interior is also mostly mountains with valley areas in between. There is flat farmland in Nurn of course, maybe in valleys or maybe all in one big plain, hut the point is that there are a lot more mountains and valleys than we see on the map, maybe because people from the west don't like going there to explore it.

Sauron's choice of Orodruin must be because of the repository of Morgoth Ingredient, in the Volcano, used by Sauron as "mana" for his spells: "It was this Morgoth-element in matter, indeed, which was a prerequisite for such ‘magic’ and other evils as Sauron practised with it and upon it." "contrasted the nature of Sauron’s power, concentrated in the One Ring, with that of Morgoth, enormously greater, but dispersed or disseminated into the very matter of Arda: ‘the whole of Middle-earth was Morgoth’s Ring.’ "No doubt because Gil-galad had by then discovered that Sauron was busy in Eregion, but had secretly begun the making of a stronghold in Mordor. (Maybe already an Elvish name for that region, because of its volcano Orodruin and its eruptions - which were not made by Sauron but were a relic of the devastating works of Melkor in the long First Age.)" - History of Middle Earth.
