A Guide to the Kelvar, Olvar and Geology of Mordor


from La Grant Danse Macabre des hommes et des femmes,
printed Nicolas Le Rouge, Troyes, 1496
From Medieval Woodcuts - see Picture Credits

Welcome to the ever-expanding encyclopaedia of the natural phenomena of Mordor - Middle Earth's most exciting and diverse ecosystem! Written by the phenomena themselves! Who can claim to have a better notion of the aerial capacity of balrogs than a balrog itself? Or who better than a cave troll to enlighten us on the trolls' fabled intelligence?

Moreover, we will also be adding some pieces concerning the geology of Mordor. Perhaps this page would be better named if we called it "Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?" and left you make up your own minds, but I suspect readers will have too much trouble deciding what the answer is, especially when confronted by Cave Trolls or the dimmer representatives of Orcdom...

All you who claim to be students of beasts, monsters and things that go bump in the night, read within for answers to your questions about this glorious region and its inhabitants. Here you will find lore and science hitherto unpublished and, quite possibly, never imagined (unless in the wildest fancies of a pipeweed-struck Hobbit...)
