Gorgoroth

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

The Plateau of Gorgoroth

Gorgoroth is also called the Plateau of Gorgoroth in Middle-earth.

[edit] The Area

Gorgoroth was a plateau at the heart of the dark lands of Mordor. Gorgoroth stands near the fiery Mount Doom. Gorgoroth was always covered in the volcanic ash of Mount Doom and had no plant growth at all. The plateau was considered to be uninhabitable by men or perhaps by anything else that lives.

[edit] History

During the War of the Ring, Gorgoroth was the location of mines and forges which supplied Mordor's armies with weapons and armor.

[edit] In Real Life

Black metal bands seem to have a subconscious knack for naming themselves after demons or Tolkien mythology.

Such is the case with Norwegian band: Gorgoroth
