What's Inside Barad-dûr?

Barad-dûr: the black tower of Mordor, taller than a thousand spears, vast enough to house legions—and yet we never step inside. Tolkien left its interior a mystery, a fortress sealed to all save the servants of the Dark Lord.

But what if we could look within?

What secrets lay behind those obsidian walls? What horrors pulsed in its depths? From the chamber of the Ithil-stone to the pits of Gollum’s torment, from forges that birthed Morgul-blades to halls where the Nazgûl were unmade and remade—every level of Barad-dûr tells a tale of control, corruption, and dominion.

This isn’t just a tower. It’s a blueprint for evil industrialized.

So join us by the fire as we descend into the forgotten rooms of Sauron’s fortress—a place where power wasn’t just kept... it was manufactured.
