Not all of Mordor is Barren
Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but I jsut had a realization that would put a new spin on some of the arguments, maybe. Namely not all of Mordor is so desolate or barren. You forget that geographically Mordor incudes the region known as Nurn (in the extreme south) Nurn is said to be Mordor's Breadbasket, the source for the food nececcary to sustain Sauron's army. It is written that after Sauron's fall Aragorn freed the slaves who tended the fields of Nurn and turn the land over to them even if the rest of Mordor was irredemable I think that there would proably be some Gondorians who migh come to settle alongside the Nurnians. Technically this would be resettlemnt of Mordor.
