The Legendary Background of Barad-dûr Dark Fortress
Barad-dûr, also known as the Dark Tower, is the central stronghold of the Dark Lord Sauron in Mordor and the most powerful fortress in Middle-earth during the Second Age and late Third Age. Bound and supported by ancient dark magic, this terrifying tower stands not far from Mount Doom, the famous volcano in Mordor.、
The construction of Barad-dûr lasted as long as six hundred years, ranking it the greatest fortress built since the fall of Angband in the War of Wrath. During the Second Age, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men laid siege to Barad-dûr for seven years. After Sauron was defeated by Isildur, the fortress was leveled to the ground. However, since Barad-dûr was forged with the power of the One Ring, its foundations could never be completely destroyed as long as the Ring existed.
Because Isildur chose not to destroy the One Ring, Sauron returned to Mordor thousands of years later and rebuilt Barad-dûr. In the late Third Age, Gollum was captured and imprisoned in this dark fortress. Sauron tortured Gollum for clues about the One Ring’s whereabouts and finally confirmed that the Ring had been rediscovered. The fate of Barad-dûr was closely tied to the One Ring — the moment the One Ring was destroyed in Mount Doom, the Dark Fortress collapsed forever and was never rebuilt.
