The Way Into Mordor

Deed Lore

Scout the major routes and vantage points of Mordor's antechamber, Udûn.

Discover the Iron Road ^{[40.7S, 0.8W]}

This road drives like a rod of iron from the Black Gates on into Gorgoroth, where it splits to encircle Orodruin.

Discover the West Road to Anglach ^{[41.8S, 1.2E]}

Many fell weapons and great war-works have winded their way down this road, out of the great forges of Anglach.

Discover the Parade Grounds ^{[42.7S, 2.3E]}

Thousands of rough pairs of feet have marched, stood, and camped upon Udûn's broad central basin.

Discover the Road to Mornaur ^{[44.7S, 1.6E]}

Atop this steep ascent, countless rough, cruel weapons were wrought to arm the Dark Lord's immeasurable armies.

Discover the West Road to Durthang ^{[44.6S, 2.5E]}

Servants bore goods and messages up this way to the fastness of Durthang.

Discover the Durthang Tower-top ^{[47.0S, 3.2E]}

The lord of Durthang could survey his domain from this height -- and more.

Discover the Durthang Lookout ^{[45.9S, 1.4E]}

Comings and goings along the Iron Road can be viewed with ease from this spot.

Discover the Durthang Eastern Stairs ^{[45.8S, 3.0E]}

Being nearer to Barad-dûr, this path to Durthang was used for purposes of state and ceremony.

Discover the path to Rhûd Vorn ^{[44.6S, 7.7E]}

The heights above have been used for many purposes over the centuries; most recently to host a contingent of Easterling forces.

Discover the Rhûd Vorn watch point ^{[41.2S, 8.6E]}

From here, a wary eye was kept on Anglach and the high bridge leading to it.

Discover the Rogkalûr overlook ^{[41.0S, 7.6E]}

For what strange purpose was this platform used?

Discover the Anglach vantage point ^{[40.4S, 5.6E]}

It is no coincidence that directly before Anglach affords the best view of all eastern Udûn.

Discover the Overseer's perch ^{[41.1S, 3.4E]}

An overseer may watch over the works below from here and, also, the road.

Discover the Gates of the Isenmouthe ^{[46.8S, 8.0E]}

The doors were somehow wrenched asunder in the chaos and struggle that directly followed the fall of Sauron.

Discover the Foundry Deck ^{[42.4S, 4.8E]}

Great steam and water works were controlled from this point, which looked down onto the waste reservoirs below.
