Plateau, Lithlad Plains (Ash Plain) in the Nurn area, and the huge mountain walls formed
by two great ridges which meet at an angle to the northwest, and which give Mordor

Morgai and the outer Ephel Dúath (or Shadow Mountains), a double mountain range
with the outer and inner face separated from each other by faults
