EDIT: As some people have already pointed out here, canonically it would make more sense for this fortress to be the ruins of Utumno, Angband, or Thangorodrim. "Eye of Sauron" as seen in Rings of Powerĭark fortress in Rings of Power trailer, potentially Gundabad. The banner of Gundabad is seen on the black flag from Peter Jackson's Hobbit.
This era also roughly coincides with the establishment of Angmar (which we know is somehow related to the show). Sauron then conquers Gundabad, an ancient mountain revered as holy by the dwarves, and makes it into a base for thousands of years to come. I would just like to share with you all the following theory:ĭuring the Second Age, Sauron invades Eriador, resulting in a dwarvish-elvish alliance against him. I've also heard it is a tilted map of Mordor. Some say it is a stylized "Eye of Sauron". The Iron Mountains were known as the Ered Engrin in Sindarin which meant 'Mountains of Iron'.Hey guys, I've heard a bunch of theories regarding the symbol associated with Sauron shown in the trailers for Rings of Power. The only people known to have lived in the cold climates of the Forodwaith were a Mannish people known as the Lossoth, the descendants of the people known as the Forodwaith who once lived in the area around the Iron Mountains of the Icebay of Forochel. These remnants were unaffected by the Change of the World and ever after. Remnants of the great mountain range in the Third Age included the Mountains of Angmar in northern Eriador, as well as the Ered Mithrin and the Iron Hills of northern Rhovanion. North of the range lay the Forodwaith, a region of everlasting cold. Īfter the War of Wrath the Iron Mountains and Thangorodrim were destroyed and the vast mountain chain was broken and disappeared for a great part of their length. Morgoth's forces also captured Elves and brought them through the mountains to Angband. Because of its perilous heights, frightening looks, and foul winds, no Elf ever passed through the mountains for any reason but the spies of Morgoth would always find ways into Beleriand, by unknown ways through the mountains. In the days of the War of the Jewels, the mountains protected Morgoth from being outflanked from the rear and with no enemy behind him, he was able to concentrate on the south. Afterwards, the mountain range was distorted but was still long with lengths stretching from the Helcaraxë in the far northwest to the Orocarni in the far east and rising to immense and frightening heights, with enormous peaks such as Thangorodrim. Much later when the Valar decided to protect the Elves from Melkor by defeating him and imprisoning him, the changing of the shape of Middle-earth affected the Iron Mountains as well.
After Melkor's destruction of the Two Lamps, the Iron Mountains were connected to the Blue Mountains of the West to the Orocarni of the east. Angband was also delved into these mountains west of Utumno. After returning to Arda from the Outer Darkness with his allies through the Door of Night, Melkor created the Iron Mountains and behind these walls safe from the light of the northern lamp Illuin he delved the great fortress of Utumno.
