comparative more Mordorian · superlative most Mordorian
- Tolkien fandomOf, from, relating to, or characteristic of Mordor, the realm of the Dark Lord Sauron in J. R. R. Tolkien’s fictional continent of Middle-earth.

Sam shuddered at the thought of Sauron's jet-propelled Balrogs streaming forth from the tower and the six outbuildings he could now make out: […] a massive building covered with horrific-looking buttresses, razor-sharp, that evoked the High Baroque period of Mordorian architecture; […]

"Hagiography of the victors," remember? In this story they are just another race competing for limited resources. Their aim is the destruction of Mordorian civilization, whose progress threatens to develop technology high enough to counter magic. They're the only non-human race; Trolls are another race of Men, as are Orcs.

But it's fun - even if only for a short time - to pit thousands of Darth Vaders against thousands of Mordorian Trolls just to see what happens.

This I believe is another question. Is it not?
1986 May 22, Isaac Balbin, “Towards making hosts and their admin free from a criminal offence”, in net.news (Usenet), archived from the original on 01 Jan 2026I was coming to this site as a lurker only to read the RPGs. I especially liked “Elbren’s Challenge”, but htere^([sic]) were no good bad guys, it seemed that the dauntless tempest was carrying on single-handedly. Then, in the Alliance threads (this was before the proliferation of non-sensical Guilds that we currently have), a pack of Mordorians joined forces to start an RP.

No mention yet of other Mordorians *or* Isengarders. […] I would think that if Mordorians were present A. would have said "Among them are no Orcs of Mordor, nor of the great Orcs," or "These corpses are Mordor-orcs and Northerners from far away. Among them are none of the great Orcs."
