Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (non)canon

<< < (3/3)

ThorinsNemesis:
Wow, thanks for the theory, hoho96 - it does make sence now why the Gate was white-ish in Shadow of Mordor   xD
I still cannot find which of the four rivers that flowed into the Sea of nurnen was the Gurthrant though, at least in the game  8-| Any theories?
Also, how do you guys find the look of Celebrimbor in Shadow of Mordor? I mean, as he was not described in any Tolkien book, he could have looked like that, right?

Adamin:
The LOTR wiki often contains information from different sources, like old rpgs, so I would always look for cross-reference on other pages, like tolkiengateway, or the thains book. Do they have any sources on the rivers in Mordor?

Btw: You can see many huge metal plates lying around at the black gate in the game. So it looks like the orcs and slaves are just now working on upgrading the Black Gate. ^^

ThorinsNemesis:
I did check these sites, but there the Nurnen tributaries are unnamed (I may have missed their names though, so anyone can recheck).

ThorinsNemesis:
I got no luck with searching for this:
In Barad Nurn's lore it mentions it was built to deter invading fleets travelling up the Gurthrant river from the south. Now, I can accept the Southwestern tributary is Gurthrant, as I also found it on an interactive map of Mordor, but how can ships traverse this (or any) Nurnen river, as:
- it had its source in the Ephel Duath, near Nan Ungol, and, to my knowing, does not go past it;
Is there something I am missing? Does this river (or the southern tributary) go past the Ephel Duath, ensuring at least a ground pass? Or is there some way ships could've travelled from Umbar through the Ephel Duath and into Nurnen?
