Hidden Vale



The Hidden Vale, named fully the Secret Library of Shadow and also called Raven Vale, was a secret place in Mordor at Barad-dur's east in which Sauron established a great store of his secret knowledge, so that if his Dark Tower were to fall, this chamber of his artifacts and documents might remain.

This vale was secured within the corner of Barad-dur's spur of mountains (to the tower's north) and the Ered Lithui. To its west was the Plain of the Black Steeds.

This location was not created by J.R.R. Tolkien, but by the makers of TheLandOfShadow.com.
