![Gorgoroth]() The Plateau of Gorgoroth is a plateau in north-western Mordor in the midst of which stands Mount Doom. To the east of Mount Doom upon a spur of the Ered Lithui, Sauron constructed his fortress of Barad-dûr.
Barad-Dûr is the greatest fortress ever built since the Fall of Angband. It was founded upon a mighty iron mountain throne above immeasurable pits and appeared even blacker and darker than the mantling clouds and shades in which it stood. It is immeasurably strong with its countless gargantuan towers, walls and battlements and is made of very hard and unbreakable substances. Usually it is described as made of steel, iron or adamant. It has gaping gates, great courts and dungeons with deep and terrible prisons. Its topmost tower has cruel pinnacles and an iron crown from which in immeasurable height the piercing and never sleeping eye of Sauron stares out.
