Campaign Setting
Cover/Jacket Text:
For thousands of years, the Men of the West stood guard over
the Black Land, ever vigilant to prevent the return of Sauron's might. The
Great Plague has
broken that watch, and evil stirs east of the Mountains of Shadow. Torchlight
glares from arrow slits of once-abandoned citadels, and smoke unfurls from
Orodruin's long quiet summit. Foul beasts move by night through cracks in
the broken surface of Gorgoroth's volcanic plateau.
GORGOROTH includes:
11" x 17" FULL-COLOR MAP depicting the plateau of Gorgoroth.
2 FULL-COLOR CITY MAPS (on the reverse of the terrain map) showing Ostigurth,
the City of Death, where new recruits to the Dark Lord's forces are indoctrinated
, and Bar Lithyrn, a Gondorian mining town on the northern slopes of the
Ash Mountains.
4 CHILLING ADVENTURES on the foothills of the Ash Mountains that provide
the daring with an unexpected introduction to Mordor.
DETAILED LAYOUTS of Mount Doom, Carach Angren, and other significant fortresses
under the Lidless Eye.
IN-DEPTH INFORMATION on the military hierarchy of Mordor and its prominent
leaders.
STATS AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION for all Nine Ringwraiths, as well as the
heinous Lords of Mordor who implement the schemes devised by the Ulairi.

I`ve got a bunch of Middle Earth sourcebooks, and this is one of my favorites.
The material on the military hierarchy of Mordor is worth the (original)
price all by itself. It inspired me to run a campaign with Orc and Troll
player characters.
