Barad-dûr

Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Sauron's Dark Tower — a fortress of black iron and dark sorcery rising from Mordor's volcanic plain, sustained by the power of the One Ring.

Also known as: Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower, Lugbúrz, Sauron's tower

What They Know

• Barad-dûr cannot be permanently destroyed while the One Ring exists — Sauron rebuilt it after the Last Alliance tore it down
• The Eye of Sauron at its pinnacle is not all-seeing — it can focus in one direction at a time and can be misdirected
• If the One Ring is destroyed, Barad-dûr's foundations will fail and the tower will collapse
• The tower is connected to Mount Doom by a road called Sauron's Road
• Sauron does not have a physical body in the traditional sense — the Eye IS his primary manifestation
