Just love the idea of an orc doing quarterly reviews, having a little desk with a mug saying "Mordor's best Orc" or something.

“Sauron ruled wisely and well”

He gave the Orcs, men of Rhun, Haradrim, trolls, Uruks and giant spiders good jobs.

He revitalised mordors economy and industry.

He liked fancy jewellery and gave it to his lieutenants the Nazgûl.

Maintained strong borders.

Surprisingly, Mordor was home to a bustling Karaoke bar industry. The Orcs would go to these establishments to have a mug of grog and sing the stress of the day away. That’s how they ended up with hits like, “Where There’s a Whip, There’s a Way” and “Goblin Town”.

Sauron: Okay so you're going to go and raid Rohan to get me some more black horses
Orc: yes, my lord
Sauron: they have to be black though for the aesthetic, the drama just isn't believable if they're dark brown, so BLACK, okay?
Orc: of course, my lord
Sauron: good. Now go, and remember; BLACK
Orc, hurriedly walking away: yes, my lord!
Sauron: MAKE SURE THEY'RE BLACK

Volcanoes - and particularly volcanic ash - are usually a massive driver of land fertility. If combined with Water. Only modern fertilizers work better at this.
Quite possible that all of Mount Dooms ash went towards Nurn, which also had enough rainfall and a convenient sea - thus making that land more fertile then any other farmland in middle earth.
Likely Gorgoroth had a massive farming potential - but either lack of rain or Saurons presence prevented anything from growing there.

Can I just say that this has been my favorite Wizards and Warriors series? Economies of these fantasy works are amazing studies, I love it.

Let's all grab our maggoty bread and enjoy this latest economy of Middle Earth vid on Sauron, Orcs, and their never-ending war against manflesh.

Thank you so much for making this channel and not abandoning it. I already loved Kings and Generals, but it makes me so happy to see some genuine care and concern put into this.

I always wondered in the movies how Mordor was able to field numerically superior armies to Gondor and Rohan without any hints of agriculture or society. Now we know.

[johnquach]

I really like these "Economy of Lord of the Rings" videos!

[mattgrandich]

Even in the Shadow of War video game the region of Nurn is shown to be a verdant, lush area full of green grass and chirping birds. It’s the breadbasket of Mordor.

[masamune]

I absolutely LOVE your style and presentation, and the information given in this video! Bravo, and well done. Can’t wait for more ☺️

[christopherhanton]

neat video glad you covered the Economy & Society of all groups.

I wanna say that Grond, the battering ram, was probably made from mithril. It broke the Mithril gate of Minas Tirith. Magic was the main cause but I bet it was magic infused Mithril that the head was made from.

[echosword]

The art work that goes into these video are very well done.

[paulceglinski]

I'm not a big fan of the genre, but I really dig these vids on the economic structure of Tolkien's world. Excellent video, K&G. And I'll see you for the next one.

[denniscleary]

Making my mornings even more fantastic 👍

[godnkls]

Great Video overall! I liked the graphics of middle earth, you make an amazing job of providing us alternative images of so well-known characters of Tolkien's work.

One thing I found hard to follow was the writing, the way you filled the letters as you spoke through your subtitles. They weren't that clear.

[WhoIsCalli]

These videos are such informative. Great stuff 👏

Fear, Pillaging and Tribute... that's an excellent description of the British Empire.
