So many people think that Sauron made Mordor. This is not true! It says that he came to came to Mordor: "After the War of Wrath and the defeat of his master Morgoth, Sauron fled for a time into the east of the world.2 A period of one thousand years followed in which Sauron was not seen in the west of Middle-earth. As the first millennium of the Second Age turned, Sauron came back. He took the fenced and mountainous land of Mordor, and there began building his mighty Dark Tower of Barad-dûr.
The beginning of Sauron's reign as Dark Lord can be dated from this time: he set himself no less a goal than the conquest of Middle-earth, and perhaps even of Númenor itself.

So it is not true. Just to clear this subject up. Thank you.
