Why Did Sauron Choose Mordor as His Stronghold?

Why Did Sauron Choose Mordor as His Stronghold? Dive into the reasons behind Sauron’s choice of Mordor as the center of his dark power. This video explores how Mordor’s natural fortifications, with its towering mountain ranges like the Ephel Dúath and Ered Lithui, provided unmatched defenses that made it an ideal base. Learn how the volcanic landscape, symbolized by Mount Doom where the One Ring was forged, resonated with Sauron’s dark nature and fueled his plans for domination. We’ll also examine why Mordor’s location, far from the major realms of Elves and Men, allowed Sauron to strengthen his armies without immediate interference.

Join us as we uncover the strategic and symbolic reasons that made Mordor the perfect stronghold for Middle-earth’s most feared Dark Lord.
