Location
The Mordath (Sindarin for Black-abyss/hole/pit) is a landmark within Dor Amarth on the Plateau of Gorgoroth. [44.7S, 25.7E]
Here the ground opens up onto a great abyss beneath Barad-dûr. This chasm can also be accessed through the Dungeons of Barad-dûr, however one cannot simply jump down without suffering incapacitation. Instead, the Dungeons and the Abyss of Mordath within must normally be entered through the main gate.

Lore
- The Abyss of Mordath lies beneath Barad-dûr. When the tower collapsed, so too was the earth beneath it sundered.[1] This pit north of the main gate of Barad-dûr opens upon the now exposed Abyss. Gimli was able to secure a rope to climb down to a rocky landing providing access to the Dungeons of Barad-dûr. [2]
