Hey Broken Sword, I would love to see breakdowns of realms like Dor-Daedeloth (Including Iron Mountains, Angband, Thangorodrim, Anfauglith, Taur-nu-Fuin and Tol-im-Guarhoth), Morgoth's version of Mordor during the First Age in Beleriend. I would also love to see you explore the Realm of Umbar, including its haven, land-locked firth, great cape, southern coastal fortresses and dwellings founded by Black Numenoreans such as Herumor and Fuinur, the inland city where Queen Beruthiel came from, and the City of the Corsairs.

Yes I'd love to see all of the above

I can imagine after many an age, Mordor is alive once again. A wanderer climbs a mountain, and what do they see. A land filled with green and many a tree. Moss grows in the delicious volcanic soil. No more pained souls to toil. In lands where blood had been spilt before, now lived flowers, to a count of four and more. Yavanna's embrace has healed the lands, no more cruelty festering amongst the dirt and sand. A land of ruins and new men. A land of green and forest dens. A land where new starts could be. A land perhaps the ents would have liked to see.

In the book there is a paragraph or two that talks about how Sauron's armies are supplied by farms and workshops that rely on slave labor, further in the South of Mordor. It's better to keep this hidden and behind fortifications where supply lines can be defended. Plus, the Free People of Middle Earth already knew who they were up against. When the Mouth of Sauron comes out to offer peace terms before the final battle at the Black Gate, one of the terms he offers is that the free people will "help" with rebuilding Isengard, which is taken as a veiled offer to becomes slaves in service to Mordor.

Yes, please more location videos, particularly on areas that don't get as much attention such as the far north, south, and east. Most of know what peoples those areas contain, but not the landscape and why those peoples settled there. Cheers

I would enjoy some more videos on different places in Middle Earth.

Orthanc may seem small in size but let's remember that Barad-dûr was destroyed twice while Orthanc endures

So Sweden is Mordor, pretty sure Ireland is The Shire.

I'm a Swede in Gothenburg. Orcs!... and so far from Auckland. Come and take us, but remember, One does not simply walk into Sweden.

I loved this!! One of the things I loved about the ‘Shadow Of’-games, was the discovery of Mordor. For future videos like these I would love to see regions that don’t get highlighted as much in the movies, like the mountain ranges to the north or the complete south or what lies east beyond Mordor. Thanks in advance, can’t wait!!

Great video! I enjoyed it a lot. Yes, please have more videos about locations - Arnor, Gondor, Lothlorien and the mysterious Paths of the Dead to name a few.

Yes, please! I would love to learn as much about the places as I would about the people of Mid-Earth. I very much enjoyed this video. Thanks

Sauron seems to have taken the same approach the Valar took to fortify his lands with mountains ⛰ that were seemingly unscalable except for single pass through them!

That was a video worthy of Mordor.

Really enjoyed your video! Yes I would like to see more about the places !

Thanks so much for this! Please create more videos of places of middle earth; very interesting❤

Yes, please! A video on Cuiviénen and the awakening of the elves would be lovely 😊

Very interesting as always

Superb. Absolutely brilliant.

Wish you covered more of Mordor, particularly the areas outside the North-West, if any information is available. I look at the map of middle earth and there are so many places I never hear of and wonder what it's like and who lives there :) I would love to see more videos like this of these unknown places not covered in the main story line.

Awesome video🔥I was really looking forward to this to come👍Thank you 💜🇫🇮

Yes I would! Thank you! The video on Mordor was really good.

I definitely want to see more. Love it

Yes, videos on mirkwood, that place with the river and the two huge king statues in fellowship, basically anything, everything.

Gondor, Rohan, Imladris/Lindon, Mirkwood, Lorien. Would love it on all of them.

Excellent decription! 😎😎

You know what I might’ve just thought of? What if, when the war of the powers was happening, when Melkor and the Valar were creating Arda, and Melkor was messing everything up for them, during the earliest time for Arda, what if Melkor hit the ground where Mordor is so hard that it caused a volcano to sprout up there and make Mordor? So, basically, Mordor is just a giant Crater of Grond! (Back when Melkor was big enough to do that with his hammer, obviously this wasn’t during his fight with Fingolfin.) that or maybe during the breaking of the two lamps it caused the ground to crack where Mordor was…

Yes yes yes. Please do more videos like this on other locations

Mordor is such a beautiful place.

Finally some amazing video 🎉thanks sir u heard my unsaid comment from your last video ❤

How did the mountain ranges of Mordor come to be such a perfect boundary? Did Morgoth create the ranges to act as walls?

Well Sauron was a good and efficient industrialist no wonder he chose Mordor as middle -earth industrial's capital.

I never realised just how big Mordor actually was! Also are you both making anymore tabletop content? I've been binge watching the old ME battle reports to keep me going!

Great video Can you do a video if you haven't done it already on Cuivenan and the True High King of the Elves who refused the summonings of the Valar and was the first Elf.... And any other details surrounding that including and I do believe that I read somewhere before that Ingwe, Elwe, Finwe was generations removed from the first Elves.... If I remember right the first elves were pretty much unison in refusing the call.... And as a bonus maybe you could also talk about the region of and around Cuivenan and its proximity to Utumno and they're possible causes and effects as to why the true High King refuse the summons.... This could be a two-part series I think... Thanks, keep up the good work !

And so in the east of the liberated land once known as Mordor, the Free People decided to build a gigantic Wall. Thus on all four sides they would be surrounded by mountains, three natural and one man made and finally they would feel safe.

More like this 🎉

Barad-úr description sounds eeriely alike Lovecraft´s description of Kadath on the Dreamlands cycle, though it seems that Tolkien never ever read him before finishing and publishing The Lord of the Rings trilogy, neither read too much on Lovecraft´s work as having a bad first-impression about it, and totally dismissed him as a whole (though he validated well his co-workers Robert E. Howard - who may have known some of his work while writting the LotR - and Clark Ashton Smith).

Can we get one of south gondor/umbar, white mountains, or the grey havens? I feel like I know of these places but not truly knowing these locations

More location videos! Angmar, Gundabad, Minas Tirith, Eedoras, Moria, The Misty Mountains, Rivendell, Numenor.

Arnor could be fun! Some of the great places Men once ruled, but that fell into abandon. Rather unrelated, but a thought I just had was that I would have liked a short story, set after Return of the King, that showed Radagast being compelled to enter Mordor, and use his knowledge to rehabilitate the land. I enjoy D&D, and while Radagast is depicted as a Wizard, I like to think of him more as a Druid. Maybe he'd just feel compelled to repair the land, due to his nature, or perhaps the task eas put to him, after he "failed" his mission, but a near-ageless healer could have gone a long way toward trying to cleanse Mordor of the taint of Sauron? In my weird, little head canon, it might also have explained what he was up to, after Gandalf's departure, before he would have cone back in a version of the sequel, to stumble through trying to help stop the new evil that followed, and depict how he became aware of such evil. I guess I just like explanations, such as what happened to the Brown Wizard?

So basically Sweden is Mordor. More videos like this would be cool. Moria has to be on the list.

Actually I’ve heard Mordor is lovely during the winter seasons! Thinking about buying a house there

Always a treat to spend some 15 min. to indulge in the greatness of evil. Thanks. A thought (request)? How about digging in to the tectonics of Middle earth? Orodruin seems like a lonely volcano? or is it somehow connected with The lonely mountain? Plates colliding and creating The misty's? How about Numenor et.c.?

Would you make a video about Beleriand('s regions)?

More location vids please 😉

I love Mordor...it is dark and beautiful, and without it's wickedness giving the contrast, goodness is nothing. Everyone should be grateful to Sauron and his evil, for what is light without darkness?!

I'd like to see Lindon and the Blue Mountains!

Hey, you didn't mention the forts in the north of the land like the Castle Durthang and a bunch of stuff in Udun.

The following passage, which is an inference that Mordor was built by Melkor for Sauron, is very interesting: "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. (Source: The History of Middle-earth - Volume 12: The Peoples of Middle-earth - XIII. Last Writings - Notes (14) - p.390)" It is a known fact that Melkor incarnated his power in Arda. Within this distribution, certain regions (geographical formations) are special places where his power spreading across Arda is focused, and Mordor is a good example among them. In this context, Mordor is a special region where Melkor's will is concentrated. I think that Sauron's choice of Mordor as a settlement was influenced by its strategic location as well as its tendency to Melkor's will.

What is the background music, it sounds so familiar, but I can't find it anywhere 😫

Iron hills!! Let's go!!!

If there’s mountains on three sides of Mordor what’s at the Far Eastern side? I think it would be cool if there was a hidden dwarf realm in the mountains around Mordor that no one knew about even souron

Crazy you mention dwarves, in the game Middle Earth: Shadow of War there is a DLC where you go to eastern Mordor to a place called Lithlad. This part of Mordor is pure desert, and there you run into a dwarf who lives there amongst an abandoned Numenorean fortress.

I had no idea it was that big. The movies make middle earth seem small by how fast they get from one place to another.

I wonder how long the journey would be if Frodo went through the lands of Rhûn or through the lands of the Haradawaith to get in through the least guarded entrance of Mordor? And which entrance is that? From the East, Rhûn and the Haradawaith meet, near the lands of Khand. I'm pretty sure Sauron would not expect to be attacked or anyone to enter from the East

This was missed in the video and films but there would have been large settlements and small forts all around Mordor. Because the hordes of Orcs,Trolls, and others would need rally places and exsembly points for battle.Not just for the two places mentioned in the films!

when Sauron sees Mordor for the first time at the end of the Rings of Power and has that slight grin was my favorite part

yes, utumno, and all Morgoth lands etc.

You kill it with your interruption dude

Yes

Yep Tolkien based Mordor on the black mountains in the Brecon beacons, Wales. Thanks dude.

California is a BIG state. It would mean Minas Tirith would be around San Francisco and the Black Gate would be around Lassen Peak- 250 miles. It would have taken Aragorn a month to March there! And just as long for Frodo. Seems distances were shorter in the book.

Sweden=Mordor. I didn't think it possible, but could you imagine a Mordor IKEA? The ones we have here in the real world are already like the gates unto Hell

As a Finn, I can confirm that Sweden is very much like Mordor... Kidding, love ya guys.

Umbar 😊

Barad'Dur was built with the power of the one ring and began crumbling once it was destroyed. This could simply be because of its insane height causing massive instability when not magically supported, but perhaps Sauron also used it to create outright impossible architecture without and within.

You do know that pre-Dark Lord days he was once a top student smith of the Valar smith Aule, right? for me I was not surprised at all that Sauron could build such seemingly impossible structures given his history a once renowned smith student of Aule, heck would probably even still achieved this even without the One Ring

I only have one entrance to my house. The fire chief said I need Mordors

I often wonder why nothing happened east of Mordor, or at least within the eastern side of Mordor.
