First built to watch over mordor

Another fortress built by the men of gondor

After the war of the great alliance of elves and men

Preventing anything to enter there again



Over the cliffs of the Ephel Dúath

Stand the old castle of Durthang

Built high on a lifeless spur

through the hardest rocks

at the summit of the mountains of Shadow

establishing a border in the Vale of Udûn



Large underground caverns were supplemented

beneath the great towers of Durthang

Used to establish orcish Barracks, mines and armories

And later to send orc forces to battle



Hôarmûrath of Dír and Ûvatha the Horseman were those who

led several companies of Orcs to the Castle

Exploited as the capital of mordor before the fall of Minas Ithil


Great became the war-camp over the Vale of Udûn

and thousands of Orcs had made these regions their Stronghold.

Great is mordor's power over middle earth

And powerful is the fear that roams these lands
