Mountains of Mordor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The mountains of Mordor cannot have been made by Sauron. Sauron is not powerful enough. Also, thinking about the sea that used to be in that general area, I don't think Melkor made tehm, either. It was a result of the inner turmoil of the earth after the breaking of Thangorodrim, or they are just conveniently placed there by Tolkien.

I don't think there are any mountain formations like that around nowadays.
