Seregost was a fortress in central-northern Mordor just south of the Ered Lithui, on the Mithram Spur, and was the principle protection of the Mithram Gap.

Seregost is non-canonical, as it does not appear in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Background

Map of Mordor (Lands of Shadow)

A dark Fortress in the Mithram Gap.

Seregost was a place of lava and red rocks. Named for the 'Blood Stone' flower of ancient tales, it was the easter gate to Lilithlad (Lithlad) in a gap in the Mithram Spur.

It has been said that the Black Uruks of Barad-dûr came from this forsaken place, hiding there after the ruin of their Master in the Second Age, awaiting his return.

Seregost was a place of Dark Sorcery and upon its molten foundations a great fortress stood that guarded the Eastern Road.

Shadow of War

Seregost is a region within Mordor. Despite its proximity to Mount Doom, it was bitterly cold and snowbound no matter the season.

It was said that the Black Uruks were bred here, when Sauron first used them to assault Ithilien before the Great Years. It was also the first spawning-place of the Olog-hai.

Mordor (LOTRO)

In Lord of the Rings Online Seregost is a tower within the corrupted swamp of Argarnaith. The swamp is full of poisoned and corrupted beasts, huorns, ill looking plants, and fungus corrupted from the foul run-off and pollution from the tower. The tower of Seregost itself is ruled over by Morival Queen, who used to make poisons, plagues and other concoctions used by Sauron's forces. A smaller fortress containing Uroks and trolls can be found on its southern edge. The corruption to the swamp by the pollution from Seregost Tower, has caused the land to turn blood red (hence how the fortress received its name).

Portrayal in adaptations

Seregost is a playable region in the video game Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Seregost is a raid location in The Lord of the Rings Online.

It also appears in the map of Mordor created by TheLandOfShadow.com, as a castle in a fiery region filled with lava.
