**Mordor**

* **Age founded/conquered:**  Unknown (Likely around the Second Age when Sauron made it his home)
* **Territory type:** Base
* **Inhabitants:** Orcs, Wraiths, Trolls, Wargs, Fell Beasts, Men
* **Civilians:** Unknown
* **Military:** Unknown

## Civilization stats

**Tier 11:** **Industrial:** Mordor at it's peak was comparable to Thangorodrim, where there were massive mines and fortresses all over, with thousands of slaves working in them. In Barad-dûr there was a highly militarized and industrial society, more than capable of performing industrial level accomplishments, including:

* Constructing a mountain sized fort (Barad-dûr).
* Supplying an army in a harsh environment.
* Creating so much smoke that it covered an entire country.

## Power Source

**Energy Source: Paraphernalia, External**

**Magic:** Construction (Sauron forging the One Ring which possess most of his power and his will, and is made to be Indestructible unless thrown into Mount Doom) Corruption (Sauron is capable of corrupting the minds of mortals and bringing them to his side)

**Divine**: Immortality (Sauron is capable of surviving death as long as the One Ring survives too and can return later when he retrieves it) Spirit Physiology (The Ring Wraiths are specters of ancient kings and cannot be killed by conventional means) Monster Physiology (Mordor holds a large host of monsters in their ranks such as Orcs, Wargs, Fell Beasts and Trolls)

## Conquest stats

8**-A:** **Large/Multi-Continent level:** Sauron's army (If he were to attain the One Ring) were more than capable of conquering all of Middle-earth (A large continent) and possibly lands beyond that. They also controlled Harad and (At one point) Angmar. Though, at their lowest, they were contained within Mordor, a large country.

**Troops:** Likely at their best would be around 150 thousand at least during the battle of the Pelenor Fields.

## Power stats

**DC:** **Country:** Sauron's very existence managed to keep the land of Mordor, his fortress and the Black Gates stable till the end of the War of the Ring with his defeat (likely higher with the Ring and full power). **Mountain**: The Witch King of Angmar is able to overpower Gandalf the White who should be more powerful than when he defeated the Balrog. **Town**: The Nazgûl which they are some of the top tier sorcerers. **Large Building:** Giants (Who are implied to be occasionally malevolent) can throw massive stones like toys. Grond can destroy the gate of Minas Tirith. **Building:** Orc sorcerers can likely use words of command, powerful spells which have the might to pulverize doors. Ologs can easily toss humans and are comparable to (If not stronger than) stone trolls. **Wall-Street:** Black Orcs can take on lesser Elves, such as the Vanyar. **Street:** Most Orcs are hardened warriors, comparable to peak mortal soldiers.

**Durability:** **Country:** Sauron's very existence managed to hold the land of Mordor together for years without any sign of tiring. **Mountain**: The Witch King of Angmar should be able to withstand the spells of Gandalf the White who should be more powerful than when he defeated the Balrog. **Town:** Tha Nazgûl can use magic, allowing them to create powerful barriers. **Large Building:** Giants can survive stones being thrown at them. **Building:** Ologs can survive blows from swords like nothing. **Wall-Street:** Black Orcs are much stronger than normal Orcs. **Street:** Orcs can fight trained soldiers.

**Speed:** **High Hypersonic +:** Sauron via powerscaling (Likely higher). **High hypersonic:** The Nazgûl can fight Gandalf. **Superhuman:** Giants and Ologs are much larger than all men. **Superhuman-Athlete:** Black Orcs can keep pace with Elves. **Athlete:** Orcs can keep pace with trained soldiers.

## Strengths/Pros

The forces of Mordor possess members of their leadership that they have powerful magics that would make them dangerous to fight alone. Sauron is even capable of corrupting men to joining his side and adding their forces to his, he is even able to seduce Saruman to his side. The sheer numbers at their disposal is vast that they could overwhelm most smaller standing forces, They have a variety of troops that would add to their own. The Nazgal are capable of sending terror into their enemies with their shrieks, especially when riding Fell Beasts.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

The majority of the power of Mordor is consolidated in Sauron and, thereby, the One Ring. If Sauron is defeated (Which can be done via the destruction of the One Ring), his armies immediately route, and destruction of the One Ring leads to all off Mordor's strongholds being annihilated.

Even Sauron's orcs can be routed and scared if met with an imposing force
