About the Ered Glamhoth, I think I found it: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/merp/images/c/c2/Eredglamhoth.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130521085745Ok. Ok, I'm confused: the Middle-earth Role Playing wiki states this is the Gurthrant river http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130521085913/merp/images/thumb/3/3c/Gurthrant.jpg/500px-Gurthrant.jpg , and that the river that flows from the south is named Culduin; the LOTR wiki also states it's named Culduin, but in other places the southern river is named Nargil; so which one of the Nurnen tributaries is Gurthrant really? (by the way, if the Southern river is named Gurthrant in the game, then it would make sence for the tribesmen to have come from the pass that this particular river originates from: http://www.isleyunruh.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Nargil-Pass.jpg )

1. I also think the region around Mount Doom could be quite green, for the same reasons Adamin pointed out. It leads to the question whether powerful beings like Sauron are able to manipulate the earth and the weather or if it's just the industrialization they come up with [ugly]. Galadriel for example seems to have a similar power, since Lorien under her presence is quite different to the surrounding area.


Adamin: Do you have a higher resolution version of your map? It's quite small and I can't see anything really xD

ThorinsNemesis:
^^Elendils Cousin, this is a high-resolution version of the map posted: http://hugo1900.pagesperso-orange.fr/MAP-OF-MIDDLE-EARTH-VERSION-7.jpg

About the gate;
I remember doing some digging and putting up a theory  (**)
There's no doubt the Black Gate was first made by Sauron when he first raised the Barad Dur. After the Last Alliance, Gondor set up a watch on Mordor and built many forts and watchtowers. However, in an attempt to close Mordor completely, Gondor is said to modify and reconstruct the Black Gate so that it opens to the inside and closed from the outside (basically shutting what's in Mordor inside).
We know that Gondor usually built with white stones, so it's not that far fetched that when they rebuilt the Black Gate, they used their normal methods.
Now, when Sauron returned to Mordor and claimed/reclaimed all fortifications and towers around it, he surely enough rebuilt the Black Gate again to be even more impenetrable than before, And I believe that's the final black-steel-ish look that we saw in the WOTR.
