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. It was a creation of the now-defunct Lands of Shadow website (but has been adapted by licensed sources).

Background

Lands of Shadow

A dark Fortress (and possibly the region which surrounds it) in the Mithram Gap. The Plain of the Black Steeds lies to the north of it. The Seregost Road leads to it from Barad-dûr, on its way to the Great Eastern Road.

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 is the location of the fortress of Khargukôr where many Black Uruks dwell.

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.

The Region known as Seregost is an explorable region after conquering Nurnen in Shadow of War. Seregost is a snowy region and much tougher than many of the other places in Mordor, owning to the more dangerous enemies, beasts, and bigger Outposts flanked by a large central fortress in the middle.

Mordor (LOTRO)

The Seregost is a tower within the corrupted swamp of Agarnaith.

The mighty fortress of Seregost, citadel of Lhaereth the Stained and her Stained Merrevail, dominates the land and blocks access to the even more deadly Mokál Rukh beyond. Guarding Seregost is the lesser stronghold of Kala-gijak, held by Uruks.

The swamp is full of poisoned and corrupted orcs, bats, 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 citadel, has caused the land to turn blood red (hence how the fortress received its name).

Portrayal in adaptations
