In the northwest corner of Mordor the deep valley of Udûn was the only entrance for large armies, and that is where Sauron built the Black Gate of Mordor, although it is possible this gate was built by either elves or Numenoreans with the intention of keeping evil within Mordor.
Sauron settled in Mordor 1,000 years after the end of the First Age, and it remained the pivot of his evil contemplations for the whole of the Second and Third Ages of Middle-earth.
Mordor is also a name cited in some Nordic mythologies referring to a land where its citizens practise evil without knowing it, imposed on themselves by the society long created for that purpose.

Entering Mordor with Corruption above five is usually not a good idea but sometimes you have no choice since there aren’t any places to Heal close by; Minas Tirith is the closest and it might have fallen to the Shadow.
The second thing you should decide upon before entering Mordor is how many Companions to bring, since the number of Companions determine how many Hunt dice the Shadow can allocate to the Hunt at the beginning of each turn.
This is much more important now that an Eye tile drawn in Mordor adds Corruption equal to the number of dice in the Hunt box, including the Fellowship’s Character and Will of the West dice previously used to move the Fellowship in the same turn.

 Mordor
Legends have it that Rohin was the most powerful and wealthy city in all of ancient Mordor, owing most of its wealth to the minerals and ores taken from the Mines.
From this calling, the most skilled warriors and magicians came from all over Mordor and from foreign regions as well.  Many of the creatures from the Mines were not susceptible to normal combat.
Mordor was built to be as realistic as possible.  With this in mind, characters can interact with other characters, pick up and resurrect dead characters, cast spells and exchange items, and even wander around the dungeon with each other.  This is what makes the game really enjoyable.

Besides the small circular plain called Udún inside Cirith Gorgor, Mordor's two major regions were the plateau of Gorgoroth and the slave fields of Nurn.

Mordor not being included at lauch fits rather nicely because when i first get the game I dont think i'll have nearly enough experience to go testing my skills on other people or even making the perilous journey to Mordor, you would obviously need to be the highest level possible to go there.

 Home of the Underdogs - Entry: Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol
Mordor introduces a user-friendly interface and above average graphics without sacrificing hundreds of hours of gameplay.
The same goes for races: you can choose to be a morloch (cousin of trolls) or osiri (distant relative of elves) in addition to human, ogres, trolls, and other typical AD&D races.
The game can be summed up as: go down into the dungeon, kill monsters, search the corpses, find treasures, go back to town to sell treasures and heal, go down into the dungeon again (deeper this time).
