Location

Dagorlad is an area within the Wastes.

It is a vast dusty plain in the north-eastern stretch of the Wastes, between the Noman-lands to the west, the northern extent of the Dead Marshes to the north, the Slag-hills to the south, and Lang Rhuven to the east, at the passage to Rhûn. It is largely a treeless wasteland, bereft of life and beauty, in close proximity to the Black Gate of the Morannon.

High Elf characters participate in the Battle of Dagorlad in the War of the Last Alliance. This occurs in a separate area: Morannon (War of the Last Alliance), representing the Morannon and Dagorlad in 3434 of the Second Age.

Lore

Dagorlad in Sindarin means "Battle Plain" and refers to the major battle between the army of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men and the hordes of Mordor at the end of the Second Age. The plain occupied more of the Wastes at this time, however the Dead Marshes expanded and flooded the graves of many Men, Elves, and Orcs. The land lying before the Morannon was piled with the refuse of Mordor, forming the Slag-hills.[1]
