Mordor

Mordor. The land of shadow ruled by the Dark Lord Sauron. Sauron wants the one ring back so he can regain his body and rule all of Middle Earth. Probably the greatest threat to all. Mordor captured Gollum and tortured him until he said where the ring was. He said Baggins which led the Ringwraiths to Hobbiton. The hobbits narrowly escaped them. Another close call was at Amon Sul (Weathertop) where the Ringwraiths trapped the hobbits while Aragorn looked for food. Aragorn rushed to their aid but Frodo was stabbed and nearly lost his life but was saved by Arwen and Elrond. While he unleashed Isengard on Rohan, he was preparing his army for his assault on Gondor. He had 300,000 Orcs backed with Haradrim, Soldiers of Rhun, Mummakil and Corsairs. Surprisingly, he did not exit them through the Black Gate but through Minas Morgul which is the Witch King of Angmar's Base. Minas Morgul was known as Minas Ithil but Mordor took it from Gondor. His army took Osgiliath easily and made it's way to Minas Tirith where the Gondorians trembled in fear. Mordor fired rocks from it's catapults and destroyed buildings and killed troops. Gondor fired back with their Trebuchets but they were then destroyed by the Nazgul who swooped down from above. Mordor used a battering ram to get through the gate but it was petty against it so they called in Grond. Grond was a massive battering ram being pulled by four big rhinoceros-looking creatures. There were Orc Archers on it firing back at Gondors equivalent. Grond smashed through the gate and trolls rushed in killing the first of the Gondor Soldiers. The Army rushed in and slaughtered  Soldiers and civilians alike. Gondor forces were pushed back to the second level. There was no hope until a horn blew and 6000 Rohirrim led by Theoden arrived at the scene. He did a speech and then they rushed towards the massive Orc army trampling them effortlessly. Theoden thought he had won the battle until another horn sounded and he saw Haradrim and Mummakil coming towards him. 
The Mummakil crushed the horses and they suffered heavy casualties but Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli arrived with the Army of the Dead. The dead army ran in and finished off the rest. Theoden was knocked off his horse by a falling Mummakil and I think he broke his back. The Witch King said to his Fell Beast "Feast on his flesh" but suddenly Eowyn stood in his way. They engaged in a battle. Merry came up behind the Ringwraith and stabbed it in the leg causing him  to screech in pain. Eowyn pulled back and thrust her sword into his face and he died. Mordor had lost. After, Aragorn led the remaining forces of Rohan and Gondor to the Black Gate so Mordor would draw out it's forces making a path for Frodo and Sam. It was a punishing battle but Frodo managed to destroy the ring and Mordor's buildings collapsed along with Barad Dur and Sauron's Eye shrunk and exploded like a nuclear bomb. The ground collapsed and all of Mordor's forces fell and died. Mordor and Sauron was gone forever.
