Udûn is the deep valley in the northwest of Mordor and forms at the meeting of the Ered Lithui and the Ephel Dúath. Its northern entrance is guarded by the Morannon and its southern entrance is guarded by the Isenmouthe.
The Black Gate of Mordor (Sindarin: Morannon) was originally a gate built by Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, to prevent invasion at the gap between the Ered Lithui and the Ephel Duath. It was probably built with the power of the One Ring, like the Barad-dûr.
