Location

Udûn is an area within Mordor -- a depressed valley in the Plateau of Gorgoroth located in northwestern Mordor. It lies between Cirith Gorgor, the Morannon and Carach Angren (also called "the Isenmouthe in Westron), and was traversed by the large armies of Sauron in times of war.

Cirith Gorgor - the gap between the Ered Lithui and the Ephel Dúath mountain ranges. Although called the Haunted Pass by men, the Elvish name literally means "pass of great dread." It was a narrow pass with sheeer cliffs on either side where the two mountain ranges met.

The Morannon - the Black Gate - Sauron constructed the Black Gate of Mordor, across the pass of Cirith Gorgor, with the power of the One Ring.

Carach Angren - (Sindarin) or Isenmouth (Westron) - the pass between the small valley Udûn and the larger Plateau of Gorgoroth. It was formed where spurs of the ranges of the Ephel Dúath and the Ered Lithui met, leaving only a narrow passage between them.

Representing the passage to the Black Gate of the Morannon, Carach Angren was heavily fortified, and both the rocky spurs that overlooked it carried fortresses and watchtowers. Across the passage itself, a wall of earth had been built, and a great ditch had been dug across the opening spanned by a single bridge.
