Talk:Udûn (Mordor)

Hell
How can the name of a place (Udûn) mean "Hell" in a world that has no negative conception of a place called "Hell"? What does hell mean in the Tolkien mythology, where the only references to places beings could go to after death were the Halls of Mandos (no negative connotation), "going to meet one's fathers" (no negative connotations), and The Void (definitely negative, but essentially nothing – not at all like the barren pits and plains of Mordor)? - Gradivus (Talk) 02:28, January 17, 2014 (UTC)
