Morgai

Jagged inner ridge of Mordor's mountainous fence, barren and rocky with thorny scrub. Traversed by Frodo and Sam in their escape from the Tower.

The Morgai stands as the jagged inner ridge of Mordor's formidable mountainous fence, a barren, rocky expanse dotted with thorny scrub that forms an impregnable natural barrier around Sauron's dark realm. Though it appears only in the final volume of the series, it plays a pivotal role in Frodo and Sam's harrowing quest to destroy the One Ring. Traversed stealthily during their desperate escape from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, the Morgai embodies the desolate harshness of Mordor, testing the hobbits' endurance as they press toward Mount Doom.
