	Although not canon in the slightest, there's a game ''Shadow of Mordor'' which showcases the attempt by Gondor (or at least allies) to colonise Mordor. As a volcanic depression it was full of essential agricultural minerals like phosphorus. Although there was some leftover toxicity as well. The game's authors used pictures of recovering Mount St. Helens as a template.

			Mordor is a major setting in the [[Rings of Power]]. Mordor was once known as the Southlands, a lush land rich in vegetation and original home of hobbits. Sauron had directed the armies of Melkor to flee to the Southlands after the War of Wrath, however, and they spend many decades hiding from the elves, men, and hobbits that lived there. This wasn't to say Sauron wasn't in charge; he created the identity of the "King that was promised" to the Men of the Southlands and assumed the role until he was usurped by Adar, a boldog of Melkor and father of the orc race. While Sauron went into exile, Adar continued his plans in the hopes of turning Mordor into a new home for the orcs, where none would need walk in fear of the sun. To this end, Adar recovered the Sword of Sauron, a mystic sword forged by Melkor himself, and used it to break open a dam and direct the waters of a river into the gullet of Mount Doom, triggering its eruption and covering the entire Southlands in ash. This new land would be called Mordor by the screenwriters.

	When the Valar woke up every morning to set out and create a world of beauty and wonder, Melkor, one of their number and Middle-Earth's answer to Satan, looked upon what they had wrought and declared: "~~Gay.~~" So he did what anyone of his [[Chaos\|disposition]] would and started smashing it to all nine hells. The early First Age was loaded with his exploits, with Melkor and the other Valar battling with mountains and continents as Arda burned beneath their feet. Eventually, the Valar managed to stabilize the planet, kicked Melkor off to the north, and fucked off to Valinor in the far west. Mordor was a remnant of the ruckus that went down across all of Middle-Earth, but being so far east compared to Beleriand, where most of the interesting shit happened in the First Age (to the point where Khazad-dum, featured in the Lord of the Rings, was just a myth of those peoples) it mostly sat empty, except for Shelob and her ancestors setting up a few flats in the eastern mountains.		When the Valar woke up every morning to set out and create a world of beauty and wonder, Melkor, one of their number and Middle-Earth's answer to Satan, looked upon what they had wrought and declared: "Whatevah, I do what I wan'!"

	That all changed when Melkor was thrown down by the Valar in the War of Wrath. Being much less of a [[Horus\|destructive crybaby]] than Melkor, Sauron, a maiar spirit adept in the art of magic and turning into a furry, surrendered to the Valar. But when he learned he would have to submit to their justice, he fled for his life, settling in Mordor because he thought it looked pretty cool.

	The fortresses surrounding Mordor fell, after a nasty [[Nurgle\|black wind from the East]] that sickened the land's wardens. Angmar rises up in the North, Arnor falls, and after a lot of battles the Witch-King of Angmar flees to Minas Ithil (now renamed Minas Morghul) to keep the heat on until Sauron returns. Which he does, after he's BTFO from Dol Guldur in the lower Mirkwood; whatever human population Mordor had, offers a pathetic resistance and retreats to Nurn, ending up agricultural chattel.

A brief scuffle occurs and the tiniest thing keeping the hell-hole of Mordor falls into a fiery pit and turns into slag along with Gollum. This causes the entirety of a continent to fall to pieces with its occupants running in different directions in terror, leaving the black land as no more than a bad memory in the minds of the peoples of Middle Earth.

			Mordor is a colossal [[retcon]] inasmuch as Tollers hadn't thought of it as of the first edition of [[The Hobbit]]. The second edition also doesn't mention it but does try to foreshadow the general [[metaplot]] with that Necromancer of Dol Guldur, which is in the Mirkwoodiest part of the great Greenwood forest.
